Silk Caye & Turtle Alley Snorkeling

If you love snorkeling, you won’t want to miss the chance to explore the tiny islands of Belize called Silk Cayes or Queen Cayes. They are part of the second longest Barrier Reef in the world, and they have some of the most amazing snorkeling and diving sites you can imagine. 

You will be amazed by the variety and abundance of marine life that you will see on this tour. You will swim with schools of permits and other colorful fish, as well as encounter gentle nurse and lemon sharks. Don’t worry, they are not aggressive and they will leave you alone if you respect their space. You will also see beautiful corals and sponges that make up the reef ecosystem.

One of the highlights of this tour is the place we call “Turtle Alley”. Here, you will have a high chance of meeting huge loggerhead turtles, rough-tail stingrays, snappers, nurse sharks and eagle rays that hang out in this area. It is an incredible experience to see these majestic creatures up close and personal. They are harmless, but remember to keep your hands to yourself and enjoy the encounter for a safe yet thrilling adventure.

This tour is perfect for anyone who loves snorkeling and wants to see the best of Belize’s marine life. You will have a blast exploring the Silk Cayes and learning about the reef. Don’t miss this opportunity to have an unforgettable snorkeling adventure in Belize!
