Spend a full day exploring South Water Caye Marine Reserve, Belize’s largest protected marine area. From Hopkins, a quick boat ride brings you to turquoise shallows and living coral gardens. With your guide, you’ll snorkel two different reef sites—think parrotfish, tangs, angelfish, turtles, and gliding rays, with occasional nurse sharks cruising by. Between sessions, relax on a postcard-perfect caye for a simple island-style picnic and beach time. This trip is great for confident swimmers and first-timers; your crew provides a safety briefing, reef-safe tips, and in-water assistance. Gear and park fees are included, and hotel pickups in Hopkins are available.
