Sea Sports Belize offers guided snorkeling adventures
to Belize's Barrier Reef - the longest in the Western
Hemisphere! We also have available snorkeling
adventures to Turneffe and Lighthouse Atoll, but
recommend the Belize Barrier Reef as it is much closer
and the marine life is just as spectacular.
Our snorkeling trips are available for snorkelers who are
visiting Belize for the day on a cruise ship, staying in
Belize City, Cayo, or on St George's Caye, or are passing
through on a sailing charter. We offer pick up service
from local hotels, at St. George's Caye, or at your
mooring anywhere between St. George's Caye and
Blufield Range. These are full day trips which include
lunch, soda/water, tanks, weights and professional
crew.
Our daily snorkeling trips depart to spectacular
underwater gardens thriving with colorful corals and
fish. We often see larger sea creatures like turtles, rays
and even sharks!
The coral growth that forms the barrier reef are
thousands of years old. There are magnificent stands
of elkhorn and staghorn coral, and large boulder corals
up to 300 years old! There are hundreds of species of
stony corals and soft corals that give the reef it's color
and provide shelter for the reef creatures and reef fish.
Molluscs, crustaceans, echinoderms and sponges are
abundant on the reefs of Belize. Queen conch, channel
clinging crabs, spiny lobster and donkey dung sea
cucumbers are just a few of the marine creatures we
often see while snorkeling.
There are over 500 species of reef fish that inhabit
Caribbean coral reefs. There are many species of
parrotfish, snapper and grouper.
We see loggerhead turtles, green turtles and hawksbill
turtles. The hawksbill turtles are often seen resting on
the bottom blending in very well with their
surroundings.
Two species of rays often sighted are the spotted eagle
ray and southern stingray. It's an amazing sight to see
a "squadron" of eagle rays cruising along the reef.
Most of the sharks that we see along the barrier reef
are nurse sharks; also known as sleeping sharks or sand
sharks since they are often found resting on the
bottom.
The best thing about snorkeling is that you never know
what you're going to see, and it sure beats any day in
the office!
