Snorkeling, Fishing & Reef Adventures

Hopkins Belize Snorkeling, Fishing & Sailing

Snorkeling at the Barrier Reef with the best local guides in Hopkins

Don some snorkel gear and get a fish-eye view of one of the most gorgeous reefs in the world! No prior snorkeling experience is necessary – our guides are highly trained, very experienced, and very patient! Hang with them and you’ll be a pro in no time! This will be a spectacular, relaxing day that you’ll never forget. You’ll leave at 8:45, snorkel from the boat at the reef, go to a gorgeous beach caye for lunch (usually South Water Caye) where you can snorkel from the shore or lounge under the coconut trees. Then you’ll snorkel at another spot on the reef and come home around 3-3:30 pm. A half-day snorkel leaves at 7:45 and is back by 11:30ish.

Reef Fishing Or Fishing/Snorkeling Combo

Experience the thrill of fishing on the reef, where you’ll watch your guide cast nets to catch your bait, which you’ll then use to pull in more fish than you know what to do with! We’d be happy to ask a local restaurant (or your guide’s wife) to cook up your fish for dinner (please note this is not included in the price.) Let us know whether you wish to snorkel the whole day or snorkel for half and fish for half. This trip leaves at 7:45 AM and is back by either 11:30 AM or 3 PM. Fly-fishing for permit and tarpon with the famous Lloyd Nunez is also available; contact us for information.

Sailing, Snorkeling & Fishing on a Traditional Belizean Wood Sailboat

Enjoy a fabulous day sailing out to the cayes in a wood sailing boat. You’ll fish (or relax with a drink) while sailing out to Bread & Butter Caye (right at the reef.) Once there, a local guide will take you snorkeling right from the caye, unless you prefer to sunbathe or explore the island. This is an amazing trip, and Brian and Regina are terrific hosts. Lunch, water, juice and rum is included, and beers are for sale.

Stand-up Paddle Boarding - Paddle & Snorkel the Barrier Reef

Take a boat to the reef spend the morning paddling through the spectacular mangrove cayes. Eat lunch at Bread & Butter Caye, then enjoy an afternoon of snorkeling around some of the great reef snorkel areas. Leaves at 9 am and returns at 3 pm.
