Let Bitty know what you think!
Hop on a skiff to see Bacalar Chico Marine Reserve, a protected area that you can only reach on a boat. You’ll see interesting sights along the way and eventually arrive at one of Belize’s most off-the-beaten path reserves.
On the way, you’ll pass by Deer Island and San Pedro Lagoon. Eventually you’ll arrive at the Bacalar Chico Channel, a channel that the Maya dug over 1,500 years ago. During your tour of the channel, you can make your way down a small waterway to see a cluster of sinkholes, another unusual part of the reserve’s marine landscape.
Once you reach the reserve, it’s time to stop for a picnic on the beach. An enormous reef protects the shore of the Bacalar Chico Reserve, keeping the water calm. You can help your guides collect coconut shells that you’ll use to grill the catch of the day. The picnic menu includes fresh conch ceviche, potato salad, coleslaw, chips, and salsa.
After lunch, you can choose to hike the inland trails for the chance to see some of the reserve’s unusual bird life. There are species here that are endemic to the Yucatán Peninsula. You’re also free to spend the rest of your time at the reserve swimming or lounging on the beach.
