Bacalar Chico Ecological Snorkel Tour
Located 25 miles on the north end of Ambergris Caye, right on the border side to Mexico & Belize, is Bacalar Chico National Park and Marine Reserve. The National Park consists of cenotes, lagoons, and interior Mayan temples, on which only a few areas are accesible to visitors.
The Mayan dug out canal is one of the few that are accessible. Here we take a boat ride through the canal, where one enjoys the beautiful Flora and Fauna, birds, orchids, with sightings of barracuda, sting rays, and crocodiles, Even dolphins and manatees.
Marine Reserve:
The Marine Reserve is originally known for the many great virgin snorkel sites it has to offer. The most amazing and incredible snorkeling can be done here.
1) Bacalar Patches is a shallow white sandy area with 4 big colorful coral patches, which are surrounded with all kinds of marine life.
2) Barracuda Patch, is a deeper white sandy area with huge coral heads that almost perch out of the water. The site was named due to the schools of barracudas that are spotted there.
3) Mexican Reef has a colorful coral line connected to the reef which serves as wall for hundreds of colorful fishes. The water is crystal clear and the coral is just incredible. All snorkel sites are inside the reef whick makes snorkeling nice and easy. Also visit the unique site of Rocky Point, (accessible in good weather only) the place where the reef meets the land. The tour includes all drinks, fish or chicken Bar B-Q and 2/3 snorkel stops weather depending. $10.00 Park fee not included.
