1. Hol Chan Marine Reserve and Shark Ray Alley
This tour is to the well-known protected area known as the Hol Chan
Marine Reserve and the famous Shark Ray Alley, where you can swim with the
nurse sharks and southern and atlantic stingrays. Occasionally you see
loggerhead turtles. The sites are located about three miles from San Pedro
Town on the reef. It's a 30 minute boat ride each way to get there and once
there you have approximately 2 hours of snorkeling. Total time on this tour
is 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Cost is $45.00US (adult) and $20.00US (child -11
yrs and under). This includes boat, park fees, complimentary fruit punch and
snorkeling equipment. The rate remains the same whether one uses the equipment or not, and we must charge even for babies since the Port authority and Hol Chan require that we have a guide for every eight persons whether they swim or not or even if they are small babies.
Non-snorkelers can watch the fish and sharks and stingrays from the glass or
the side of the boat. They can also swim by the boat at Hol Chan where the
water is waist deep or sunbathe on the top of the boat. On the way to the
sights there is some sightseeing.
Don't forget to bring sunscreen, towel and underwater camera.
