Belize Snorkeling Tours
If you don't go snorkeling in Belize, you're crazy. The water off the coast of Belize is home to some of the world's most vibrant, colorful, and downright impressive marine ecosystems. You can peer into warm, crystal-clear water and see healthy coral reefs and flashy tropical fish. These tours are led by reputable guides and often involve taking a boat to an island or atoll, where you'll be given gear and instructed on the best places to snorkel. Finish up your day by basking in the sun on a palm-lined beach.
The best tours in Belize
Mexico Rocks is one of the top snorkeling destinations. Not only is the water around Mexico Rocks incredibly clear, it also has a very mild current, making underwater observation especially easy.
Hol Chan Marine Reserve and Shark Ray Alley are two of Belize’s most popular destinations for nature tours. Take this 2.5-hour tour to get close to marine wildlife.
Whale Shark Experience
From $264Join us on an unforgettable adventure as we dive with the largest fish in the sea—whale sharks! Every year, during the full moons of March, April, May, and June, these gentle giants gather at Belize’s Gladden Spit Marine Reserve. Snorkelers and divers alike can witness this incredible sight while exploring one of the world’s most unique dive spots. Despite their size, whale sharks are harmless and even playful. You can safely swim alongside them as they feed on snapper eggs during their annual visit. Gladden Spit is one of the few places where you can experience this magical encounter, surrounded by schools of spawning fish. Pioneered by Brian Young Sr. of Seahorse Dive Shop, these expeditions have become a must-do for any diving enthusiast. And even if you don’t spot a whale shark, the dive is still unforgettable, with possible sightings of dolphins, reef sharks, and vibrant schools of fish. When to Visit? Plan your trip around the full moon in March, April, May, or June for the best chance to swim with these majestic creatures, with April and May offering peak opportunities. Don’t miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime experience!
