The 501 Experience

Swim the world’s second-largest barrier reef with turtles, rays, and nurse sharks.

The moment you dip your face into the water, you’ll see why Belize is world-famous for snorkeling. Swim alongside colorful schools of fish, glide past waving sea fans, and watch curious rays cruise the sea floor. The reef here is alive, calm, and close. You’ll be in the water within minutes of leaving our dock.

Depending on the day, your guide may take you to the renowned Hol Chan Marine Reserve, the peaceful shallows of Mexico Rocks, or local gems only the guides know. Don’t be surprised if a sea turtle or a gentle nurse shark cruises by. Belize’s marine life loves to show off.

The Belize Barrier Reef, the second largest on the planet, sits just offshore from San Pedro, and snorkeling it is the single most popular thing travelers do on Ambergris Caye. Crystal-clear water, vibrant coral gardens, and marine life on every swim: this is the snorkeling trip Belize is famous for, guided by locals who grew up on these waters.
