This trip begins with a 90-minute boat ride from Belize City to the eastern side of Turneffe Atoll. You stay at Turneffe Flats Lodge, which offers comfortable air-conditioned villas and cabanas with beautiful views of the surrounding sea. Turneffe Atoll is exceptional for its warm shallow water, which gives snorkelers easy access to an extraordinary underwater paradise. Magnificently adorned with huge yellow tube sponges and myriad tropical fish, the reef offers unmatched snorkeling opportunities. Snorkeling sites include the coral rich reefs of The Canyons, Calabash Cut, and Soldier's Caye reef. Over 25 species of birds are found around the islands including the magnificent osprey, and we often spot dolphins en route to our snorkeling sites. Participants in this Belize snorkeling trip will benefit from our decades of experience guiding trips in Belize, and gain special insight into the local ecology through the findings of our long-term research efforts.
