hol chan tour

Last updated on May 3rd, 2023 at 05:41 pm

The Hol Chan Marine Reserve is probably the most popular dive destination of the cuts or channels. The words ho/ chan mean “little channel” in the Maya language. The reserve covers about five square miles and is located four miles southeast of San Pedro in the northern section of the Belize Reef. The channel is about 30 feet deep, and since no fishing is permitted in the reserve, it is rich with sealife of every description. Divers can expect to see abundant angelfish, blue-striped grunts, schoolmaster snapper, and hundreds of other varieties. It’s also well-known for the green moray eels living in tiny caves along the wall. The areas for recreation are marked with buoys. The usual rule: take only photos! It is clearly spelled out: do not collect coral or fish whether with spear or handlines. Mooring buoys are in place to help protect against anchor damage.

The Reserve, about 4 miles south of San Pedro, is a 5-square-mile underwater national park established by the Belize government in 1987. Because fishing is prohibited in the reserve, there is a considerable amount of sea life. At the cut here, you may expect to see large groupers, nurse sharks, sting rays, moray and other eels, spadefish, schoolmasters and other fish. Much of the bottom is sandy, but you also will see bright coral. Depth is fairly shallow at between 5 to 30 feet. Visibility is usually good, at 50 to 60 feet or more, with late spring having the best water viz. You will not be alone. As many as 10 or 15 snorkel boats may congregate at one time.

When cruise ships are in port in Belize City, the Hol Chan is particularly busy. In fact, it’s a good idea to make a mental note of the name or identifying colors of your boat, so you don’t swim back to the wrong boat. With so many snorkelers and divers – albeit the total number is nothing like that in popular snorkeling areas in Mexico or the United States Virgin Islands – the environment here has suffered some damage, despite the designation of the area as a reserve. Do not touch the coral with your hands or fins, and do not feed or touch the fish, even if your guide does. Caution! Tidal currents here can be quite strong. Weak swimmers and children may tire quickly swimming against the current. Ask your guide about the strength of the current at the time you are there, and let the guide know if you are not a good swimmer or have any disability. Don’t be shy about accepting a life jacket.

Shark Ray Alley

Shark Ray Alley is a shallow cut to the south of Hol Chan where nurse sharks and sting rays congregate. Shark Ray Alley is located just one mile south of the Hol Chan cut and is listed as “Zone D” of the Hol Chan Marine Reserve. Once a place where fishermen would clean their catches, this 1,280-acre protected region has evolved into a top snorkeling location. Guides sometimes chum to attract the sharks, and you can jump in and swim with them. It’s not half as scary as it sounds, and most of the people who come on the snorkel boats do get in the water here. Visitors snorkel or dive and can get up close and personal with Nurse Sharks and Southern Sting Rays. When visitors arrive, they will often see the surface boiling with rolling sharks and sting ray as they compete for the scraps. These creatures have a great tolerance for divers and snorkelers. The rays, which have a ‘wing-span’ of two to four feet, swim directly towards the divers, mouths often turned up hoping for a hand held tid bit to be placed near their mouths. The docile Nurse Sharks average four to six feet in length and can be a bit more aggressive than the sting rays. The excitement and novelty of swimming with large numbers of nurse sharks and sting rays can be breath taking. At Mexico Rocks, off North Ambergris opposite a former coconut plantation, you may not see as many fish as at Hol Chan, but the coral is beautiful. Also, this area is protected from ocean swells and currents, so it makes for easier snorkeling. It is a good place for novice snorkelers. Depth is only about 5 to 12 feet, so you can see everything up close, and if necessary you can usually find a place to stand with your head above water. Water visibility is about the same as at Hol Chan, 50 feet or more.

Day snorkel trips to Hol Chan cost around US$30 to $40 per adult, plus a US$10 park fee, and to Mexico Rocks US$35 to $50. These prices may include snorkel mask and fin rental and a guide who will go into the water with you and point out the sights. Kids under about age 12 go for half price. These snorkeling trips usually last two to three hours. Typically, snorkel boats go out once in the morning and once in the afternoon, more frequently during busy periods. A couple of dozen dive and snorkel operators offer snorkel trips. It is difficult to recommend one over another, as the quality of the experience depends on who is your guide on a particular trip and also the weather and sea conditions. Note that boats cannot always go out, due to wind and weather conditions. When there’s a strong wind or during “Northers” in the late fall and early winter, snorkeling is unpleasant at best and could be dangerous. Night snorkeling trips also are available, at around US$40 to $60 per person. Night snorkelers may see lobster, eels, octopus and other creatures. For those who don’t want to get in the water, there are glassbottom boats You’ll pay about US$45 per person plus the park fee.

Catamarans and other vessels based in San Pedro visit some of Belize’s other cayes and atolls, on longer trips for snorkeling and picnics. You typically pay US$40 to $75 for these trips, plus the $10 park fee if you go to Hol Chan, depending on the length of the trip, where you go and whether lunch and drinks are included. Many visitors say they really enjoy the day snorkel trips with a beach barbecue, featuring fresh-caught fish. It’s a long way to go for snorkeling, but Belize’s atolls offer good snorkeling in shallow water around patch reefs. Day snorkel trips to Lighthouse or Turneffe atolls run about US$150 to $185, plus a US$40 park fee for Lighthouse, including lunch and snacks.

Hol Chan Marine Reserve

Top choice in Ambergris Caye

At the southern tip of Ambergris, the 6.5-sq-mile Hol Chan Marine Reserve is probably Belize's most oft-visited diving and snorkeling site. It offers spectacular coral formations, plus a rich abundance and diversity of marine life – not to mention its proximity to the cays. Hol Chan is Maya for 'Little Channel,' which refers to a natural break in the reef known as Hol Chan Cut. The channel walls are covered with colorful corals, which support an amazing variety of fish life, including moray eels and black groupers.

Although the reef is the primary attraction of Hol Chan, the marine reserve also includes sea-grass beds and mangroves. The sea grass provides a habitat for nurse sharks and southern stingrays, which lend their name to Shark Ray Alley . Snorkelers have the chance to get up close to both species, due mainly to the fact that the animals are used to getting fed by tour boats.

All dive operators and nautical tours offer trips to Hol Chan. For information and displays on marine life, visit the Hol Chan Visitors Center .

Hol Chan Marine Reserve

Price & Hours

• Facilities 1.0
• Atmosphere 4.5

Facing the southern edge of Ambergris Caye about 4 miles from shore, Hol Chan Marine Reserve is the oldest reserve in Belize. Its name translates to "Little Channel," in reference to a coral-filled gap in Belize's immense barrier reef. Encompassing 3 square miles, this densely populated aquatic zone is a sanctuary for stingrays, eels and nurse sharks, among other creatures.

The reserve is separated into four parts: the mangroves, the reef, the sea-grass beds and Shark Ray Alley , which was designated as part of the reserve in 1999, about 10 years after the reserve was originally established. Because of its diversity, the reserve has flourished as a hot spot for scuba divers and snorkelers. Recent travelers said Hol Chan Marine's crystal-clear waters and abundant sea life make it a prime spot for snorkeling and diving.

Hol Chan Marine Reserve Tours

The reserve is located about 4 miles southeast of San Pedro in Ambergris Caye. To get here, you'll need to book a boat tour from either Caye Caulker or San Pedro. A visitor center, which can provide more information on the reserve and its inhabitants, is located on Caribena Street in San Pedro and is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.  Tours typically last anywhere from five to seven hours and cost around $100 per person.

#2 Ambergris Caye

With its plentiful outdoor activities, this 25-mile-long island off the coast of northern Belize caters to the snorkeling and diving set. The island was originally inhabited by the Mayas to serve as a far-extending trade route, spanning from present-day  Mexico  to as far south as Honduras. Today, Ambergris Caye ("am-Ber-gris Key") welcomes thousands of visitors seeking easy access to the barrier reef that surrounds the island. Snorkelers and intrepid divers alike will want to explore Hol Chan Marine Reserve . Most of the diving and snorkeling shops and instructors are found in San Pedro, including the Belize Pro Dive Center , Tuff E Nuff Tours and Scuba School Belize , which all offer a variety of daily excursions. Prices vary depending on the type and length of tours, plus any certification fees for diving.

When you're not underwater, explore San Pedro, Ambergris' main town. Here you'll find beachside restaurants, lounges, shops and luxury hotels. You'll notice the difference between this tourist hub and the more urban Belize City as soon as you step onto San Pedro's cobblestone streets, which are filled with golf carts and bicycles, rather than cars.

HOL CHAN AND SHARK RAY ALLEY

The single most popular snorkeling tour for guests on Ambergris Caye is the famous Hol Chan Marine Reserve and Shark Ray Alley. Hol Chan (meaning little channel) is a compact yet vibrant example of the marine diversity provided by the Reef. Shark Ray Alley gets you as close to nurse sharks, stingrays and horse-eyed jacks as you would like to be. Night snorkeling can also be enjoyed at Hol Chan after dark.

MEXICO ROCKS AND TRES COCOS

A pleasant snorkeling alternative for those who would rather not get close to the nurse sharks. This tour stops at two equally excellent locations for observing a variety of fish and coral. With plenty of large coral formations you are sure to find colorful treasures around every coral head!

SAIL, SNORKEL & BBQ COMBO

A full day  sail  up north on a catamaran with snorkeling stops at magnificent Mexico Rocks and Tres Cocos. Followed by a delightful BBQ lunch on the beach and a leisurely sail back to the resort with rum punch and the tropical breeze in your hair!

FISH, SNORKEL AND BEACH BBQ

A great combination tour for fun and relaxation. You will be taken out to the reef to  fish  for your lunch, then head to the beach to relax, stretch your legs or swim, while your guide BBQ’s your catch. After lunch it’s time for snorkeling at Mexico Rocks and Tres Cocos, where you will see many fish and a variety of coral formations. Then home again to Xanadu, where tranquility awaits you.

SAIL / SNORKEL / CAYE CAULKER

This is the perfect combination tour for experiencing three different adventures in one! This full day tour will give you a taste of  sailing  the Caribbean Sea on a catamaran, snorkeling at the famous Hol Chan and Shark Ray Alley and a visit to our sister island of Caye Caulker. Sail back to Ambergris Caye with complimentary rum punch for the perfect end to a great day.

Hol Chan Snorkeling Tour

• Destinations
• San Ignacio
• Things to do

The Hol Chan Marine Reserve is a mecca for snorkelers. This reserve is located on the coast of Ambergris Caye, one of Belize’s most popular islands for visitors. Hol Chan Marine Reserve is known for its sea grass beds, mangrove forests, coral reefs, and a section of reserve known as Shark Ray Alley.

The marine reserve is named after a break in the channel that is 75 feet (23 m) wide. Hol Chan means “little channel’ in the Maya language. This channel serves as a thoroughfare for large schools of fish. On snorkeling trips here you can see fish like groupers, snappers, and jacks.

Shark Ray Alley is a popular gathering spot for nurse sharks and stingrays. This is one of the top places to snorkel in the world. These animals know they can expect to be fed by visiting boats, and they show up in impressive numbers. It’s easy to observe these carnivores from a respectful distance.

After your snorkeling trip you’ll head back to your tour’s private boat, and sit down to a floating picnic.

Attraction Visited

The quick ride out to Hol Chan Marine Reserve makes this the most popular half-day tour for visitors staying at Ambergris Caye and Caye Caulker. Set aside in 1987, this reserve covers an area of 3 square miles (7.8 sq km) and is found off the southern tip of Ambergris Caye. As a result, this area of the Belize Barrier Reef supports healthy populations of fish and colorful coral. Turtles, nurse sharks, grouper, jacks, reef fish, and barracuda are just a few of the species you might see here. The reef ranges from 10–30 feet (3–9 m) deep and most guides take snorkelers along the outer edge of the reef. While this site is great for beginner snorkelers, as well as divers, swimmers should pay attention to currents which can be strong throughout the reserve.
