After meeting your driver on the pier shore side, you will drive to the nearby airport where you will board a scheduled flight on a Cessna Caravan for your scenic 20-minute flight over the world's second largest Barrier Reef. At 1500 feet you will be able to see the magnificent underwater formations and the many islands that dot the reef system.

Upon arrival in San Pedro on Ambergris Caye, you will walk to the dive shop where you will receive your included gear and meet your guide. You will then be taken by boat to the Hol Chan marine reserve, located 4 miles southeast of the caye, home to the famous Shark Ray Alley. Your first snorkel will be at the Coral Garden where the colorful reefs are home to a host of underwater inhabitants. After approximately 45 minutes of snorkeling, you will take a leisurely 30 minute cruise to Shark Ray Alley. Here, during your approximate 45 minute visit, you will snorkel in the clear waters and have a personal encounter with the local docile Nurse Sharks and graceful Southern Sting Rays, which have a wing-span of two to four feet. You will then cruise back to San Pedro.

Returning to San Pedro , you will have approximately one hour of free time on your own to shop for local gifts, sample the local cuisine, or explore and see why many describe it as the Caribbean of 30 years ago.

San Pedro Town, the only inhabited area on the island, is a small bustling village complete with colorfully painted wooden houses, of Mexican and Caribbean decor, and some that still retain their English colonial architecture. They are now home to gift shops, boutiques, bars, cafes, and restaurants. A short walk in town (which is only three streets deep) and you can feel the friendliness of the people and see the ease of their lifestyle as no shoes, tee-shirts, and shorts is the typical island dress code. The people of the island speak English, Spanish, Creole, and Maya all at the same time, making it their own island dialect. Most transportation is by foot, bike or golf cart. .

San Pedro's restaurants range from seafood to burritos; from Italian to Chinese, but when in Belize, try the local cuisine (fish, bar-b-que, rice and beans, etc.) .

There are no shopping malls here. You will find quaint little gift shops and street side vendors offering tropical apparel as well as the work of local artisans. These include local paintings, pottery, sculptures, handmade dolls, hats, baskets, beach chairs and hammocks. .

All too soon, it is time to return to the airport for your commercial flight back to Belize City. From there, you will be returned to the tender pier.

Please note: There is a marine park fee of $10.00 that must be paid in cash (US dollars) at the beginning of the snorkel trip.
