About the Tour
Discover Belize's Most Famous Reef Adventure.
Located along the Belize Barrier Reef, Hol Chan Marine Reserve was established in 1987 as Belize’s first marine reserve and remains one of the country’s most iconic snorkeling destinations. “Hol Chan” is a Mayan phrase meaning small channel, referring to the natural cut through the reef filled with abundant marine life.
This full-day snorkeling adventure from Caye Caulker combines vibrant coral reefs, exciting marine encounters, and authentic island experiences as guests explore crystal-clear Caribbean waters alongside experienced local guides.
Price : 110 USD

Enjoy lunch at a beachfront restaurant followed by free time to stroll through town, explore local shops, and experience the lively atmosphere of San Pedro.
Hol-Chan Channel

No Regrets
"I can not recommend these guys enough! We did the night snorkel and hol Chan tour. Guides were very knowledgeable, fun, and personable! They really went out of their way to make sure everyone had an amazing experience. Even let my friend and I wear their tshirts in the water when our backs were getting burned! They also take photos of you and the underwater creatures durring the trip and send them to you after so that you don't have to worry about taking photos yourself. Go with these guys! You wont have regrets!”

Snorkeling Suprises at Caye Caulker
I booked two tours with Anda da Wata: night snorkeling and the Hol Chen all day snorkel. Kat and Art were great making sure all the details were taken care of. The night snorkel enabled me to see lobsters and crabs as well as squid, even an eel.
The all day trip included a trip to the reef, several snorkels and lunch on San Pedro. Hights included shark alley and the coral reef. The crew were fun and knowledgeable. Definitely would go again

“Excellent experience! We were a rowdy group and the crew was great with us. The go pro pics we got afterwards were such a pleasant surprise!! Great quality photos of an amazing time! Went at the very end of May and saw squid, dolphins, sharks (soooo many sharks!), turtles, manatee, and a ton of fish..”
