Itinerario
La parada de Tarpon Feeding es, con diferencia, uno de los puntos culminantes del recorrido. ¡Nos gusta decir que si aún no estás completamente despierto, esta es la parada que te garantiza que tu corazón bombee! Los tarpones son peces masivos que pueden crecer hasta 8 pies de largo y pesar hasta 300 libras. Alimentar a estos gigantes saltadores es una experiencia inolvidable que definitivamente no querrás perderte cuando visites Caye Caulker.
La Barrera de Coral de Belice tiene aproximadamente 287 millas de largo. En una excursión de un día completo desde Caye Caulker, explorarás solo una pequeña porción de su magnificencia. Nuestra siguiente parada está a solo 8 minutos de Caye Caulker, donde buscaremos manatíes entre 2 y 3 áreas principales del arrecife. Una vez encontrados, haremos snorkel con ellos, por supuesto, manteniendo una distancia respetuosa y evitando tocar o acosar a estas majestuosas criaturas. Si no tenemos suerte al principio, continuaremos hacia otras paradas e intentaremos de nuevo en nuestro camino de regreso a Caye Caulker.
Nuestra siguiente parada es el Coral Garden. Aquí es donde bucearás y explorarás a tu propio ritmo, ya sea que prefieras ir solo o con un compañero de viaje o pareja, independientemente de tu nivel de experiencia. Aunque el Jardín de Coral se encuentra fuera del área protegida, tratamos todas las paradas de snorkel con el mismo nivel de cuidado y respeto. Eso significa no pararse, tocar los corales, o recoger nada del arrecife. El Jardín de Coral es el hogar de una amplia variedad de hermosa flora y fauna, incluyendo tortugas marinas, rayas, tiburones nodriza, rayas águila, morenas y muchos tipos diferentes de peces, así como una impresionante variedad de formaciones de coral en todas las formas, tamaños y colores.
Nuestra pequeña versión del Titanic, la Barcaza Hundida, mide aproximadamente 40 pies de largo y 20 pies de ancho. Ha sido un atractivo único durante muchos años, gracias a la gran variedad de corales y peces que lo han convertido en su hogar. Aunque cubre un área pequeña, es increíblemente interesante a su manera. Como una estructura grande y hueca, nunca se sabe lo que podría esconderse dentro o debajo de ella, como enormes morenas, tiburones nodriza, tortugas y peces león. Después de más de 30 años bajo el agua, la barcaza ahora está bellamente incrustada con una vibrante mezcla de corales duros y blandos, lo que aumenta su encanto e importancia ecológica.
A continuación, al entrar en la Reserva Marina Hol Chan, llegamos al Callejón de los Tiburones y Rayos, una de las paradas de snorkel más divertidas y emocionantes. Los tiburones nodriza, que se encuentran entre los tiburones más dóciles de nuestro arrecife, son las únicas especies de tiburones que se encuentran comúnmente en esta área. Comparten las aguas con rayas australes y una variedad de peces, todo aprovechando el limitado chumming permitido en esta parte designada de la reserva. Tan pronto como cualquier buque entra, los tiburones comienzan a arrastrarse detrás, esperando comida. Y tan pronto como atamos nuestro barco a una de las líneas de boya, se reúnen cerca de la popa en el lado de estribor, dando vueltas en previsión de sardinas. Estos tiburones se pueden ver fácilmente desde a bordo, ya que se acercan mucho al barco, pero, por supuesto, lo invitamos a subirse y hacer que la experiencia sea realmente inolvidable.
El Canal Hol Chan es la primera zona de la Reserva en ser protegida, que data de 1987. Este canal está lleno de vida marina y ofrece una increíble experiencia de buceo. Dado que ahora estamos dentro de un área protegida, se aplican reglas estrictas a todos los que entran y hacen snorkel aquí. Todos los huéspedes deben seguir a su guía en todo momento, ya que el canal ocasionalmente puede tener fuertes corrientes y múltiples grupos de snorkelers en la zona. Durante el snorkel, su guía también proporcionará información educativa sobre la vida marina. Él o ella se sumergirá y, al resurgir, identificará y nombrará varias especies de peces y corales para que todos tengan la oportunidad de aprender más sobre el ecosistema submarino. Esta parada suele tardar entre 30 y 40 minutos, dependiendo de las condiciones. La seguridad siempre es nuestra prioridad, pero, por supuesto, queremos que todos se diviertan también.

Wow! I picked this tour based on the other reviews and it definitely lived up to the hype. Alwin and EJ went above and beyond in so many ways to make this a great experience. I was nervous to stay in Caye Caulker in July with all the reports of Sargassum. This did not impact the snorkeling as we were inside of the reef and the boat could easily anchor at spots free of seaweed. Visibility was great, corals were healthy, and the fish were everywhere. We saw eagle rays, manatees, lobster, nurse sharks, puffer fish, tarpon, barracuda,,,, an amazing day. Also, the reef cuts the swell, on the day we went out was a small craft advisory (3-6 ft waves reported online). However, there were no waves noticeable where we were snorkeling and the boat ride was smooth all day. Wear a rash guard, the sun is intense.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed review! We're thrilled to hear that your experience lived up to the expectations from our previous guests. Alwin and EJ will be delighted to know they helped make your day so memorable. It's also wonderful that you shared your experience with the sargassum and sea conditions. Many travelers have similar concerns during this time of year, and we're glad you were able to see firsthand that the reef provides excellent snorkeling conditions with great visibility, healthy corals, and calm waters. Seeing eagle rays, manatees, nurse sharks, barracuda, tarpon, puffer fish, lobster, and so much more in a single day is truly special! Thank you as well for the helpful tip about wearing a rash guard the Belize sun can definitely be strong. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Blackhawk Tours for another unforgettable adventure the next time you're in Belize!
Amazing. Al was a great caption and EJ amazed us with his free diving at the bottom of the ocean. He went above and beyond to show us a green eel and a unique colored stingray. Unforgettable experience. The shark alley was probably the family favorite.
