After meeting your guide on the pier, you will board a comfortable 38 foot powerboat for the 25 minute ride to the tropical island of Goff's Caye and its neighboring extraordinary reef. Along the way you will pass mangrove islands, which are natural habitats for Brown Boobies, Cormorants, Terns and where, occasionally, bottle nose dolphins are spotted.
If you are looking for a fancy beach resort, this is not the tour for you. If you are thinking more deserted island, than this is the spot. This unspoiled powdery sand caye is a natural coral sand island making it the ultimate beach experience for the entire family. Kids can build their dream sand castles or simply splash in its shallow turquoise blue waters.
Goff's Caye sits directly on top of the world's second largest Barrier Reef making it an ideal location for a world class snorkeling experience with your guide. After stopping at the beach for those wanting to wade ashore, the boat will reposition to the nearby reef for optional snorkeling for those who want to. Here you will see coral formations alive with tropical fish in crystal clear shallow waters. Snorkel gear is included.
When you’re finished with snorkeling, take a break on the island with its rustic charm. Here you will not find the over developed, crowded mob scenes of a resort, but a tropical island with just the basics so you can enjoy a day in paradise "lost"
The island is approximately 1.2 acres. There are no beach chairs, here you spread your towel out on the white sand beach or under a swaying palm. There are no restaurants, locals are here selling B-B-Q, Chicken Kabobs or even grilled lobster tails. They also offer cold beers, sodas and coconuts for sale as well. (Food items are not included in the tour price). Facilities on the island are very basic.
