Visit Belize’s Port Honduras Marine Reserve

bel13-manatees-free-istock-000005780814

Cruise through the emerald cayes of Belize's Port Honduras Marine reserve and snorkel and swim in crystal clear Caribbean waters. 

From the little port of Punta Gorda on the southern coast of Belize, cruise by motor boat through some of the most beautiful of Toledo’s offshore cayes in Port Honduras Marine Reserve, one of the newest conservation areas in Belize.

 Climb the observation tower for a magnificent view of the Bay of Honduras and its many emerald cayes. As you make your way out to the Snake Cayes, keep your eyes open for manatee, dolphins, frigate birds and brown boobies.  You can snorkel and swim on West Snake Caye, renowned for its crystal clear turquoise waters. 

Your guide may suggest a bit of fishing on the way home: these are some of the best fishing spots in the Caribbean. You may catch your own dinner of snapper, barracuda, grouper or kingfish.  You may, however, choose to let others do the work and just lie back and enjoy the late afternoon breeze over the water.
