Itinéraire
L'arrêt Tarpon Feeding est de loin l'un des points forts de la visite. Nous aimons dire, si vous n’êtes pas encore complètement réveillé, c’est l’arrêt qui est garanti pour faire battre votre cœur! Le tarpon est un poisson massif qui peut atteindre 8 pieds de long et peser jusqu'à 300 livres. Nourrir ces géants bondissants est une expérience inoubliable que vous ne voulez absolument pas manquer en visitant Caye Caulker.
La barrière de corail du Belize mesure environ 287 miles. Lors d'une excursion d'une journée au départ de Caye Caulker, vous explorerez seulement une petite partie de sa magnificence. Notre prochain arrêt est à seulement 8 minutes de Caye Caulker, où nous allons fouiller 2 à 3 zones principales du récif à la recherche de lamantins. Une fois trouvés, nous ferons de la plongée avec eux – bien sûr – tout en maintenant une distance respectueuse et en évitant tout contact ou harcèlement avec ces créatures majestueuses. Si nous n’avons pas de chance au début, nous continuerons vers d’autres arrêts et essayerons à nouveau en revenant à Caye Caulker.
Notre prochaine étape est le Jardin de Corail. C'est ici que vous plongerez et explorerez à votre rythme, que vous préfériez partir en solo ou avec un ami de voyage ou un partenaire, quel que soit votre niveau d'expérience. Bien que le Coral Garden soit situé en dehors de la zone protégée, nous traitons tous les arrêts de plongée avec le même niveau de soin et de respect. Ça veut dire qu'on ne doit pas se tenir debout, toucher les coraux, ou ramasser quoi que ce soit dans le récif. Le Coral Garden abrite une grande variété de flore et de faune magnifiques, y compris des tortues marines, des raies, des requins nourrices, des raies aigles, des murènes et de nombreux types de poissons différents, ainsi qu'un éventail étonnant de formations coralliennes de toutes formes, tailles et couleurs.
Notre petite version du Titanic, la barge engloutie, mesure environ 40 pieds de long et 20 pieds de large. C'est une attraction unique depuis de nombreuses années, grâce à la grande variété de coraux et de poissons qui en ont fait leur foyer. Bien qu'il couvre une petite superficie, il est incroyablement intéressant à sa manière. En tant que grande structure creuse, vous ne savez jamais ce qui pourrait se cacher à l'intérieur ou en dessous, comme les murènes massives, les requins nourrices, les tortues et les poissons-lions. Après plus de 30 ans sous l'eau, la barge est maintenant magnifiquement incrustée d'un mélange vibrant de coraux durs et mous, ajoutant à son charme et son importance écologique.
Ensuite, alors que nous entrons dans la réserve marine de Hol Chan, nous arrivons à Shark et Ray Alley, l'une des étapes de plongée les plus amusantes et passionnantes. Les requins nourrices, qui sont parmi les requins les plus dociles de notre récif, sont la seule espèce de requin que l'on trouve couramment dans cette région. Ils partagent les eaux avec les raies australes et une variété de poissons, tous profitant du nombre limité d'excréments permis dans cette partie désignée de la réserve. Dès qu'un navire entre, les requins commencent à traîner derrière, s'attendant à de la nourriture. Et dès que nous attachons notre bateau à une des lignes de bouées, ils se rassemblent près de la poupe sur tribord, tourbillonnant autour en prévision des sardines. Ces requins peuvent être vus facilement depuis le bord, car ils s’approchent très près du bateau – mais bien sûr, nous vous invitons à monter et à rendre l’expérience vraiment inoubliable.
Le chenal Hol Chan est la première zone de la réserve à être protégée, datant de 1987. Ce chenal regorge de vie marine et offre une expérience de plongée avec tuba incroyable. Puisque nous sommes maintenant à l'intérieur d'une zone protégée, des règles strictes s'appliquent à tous ceux qui entrent et plongent ici. Tous les clients doivent suivre leur guide en tout temps, car la chaîne peut parfois avoir de forts courants et plusieurs groupes de plongeurs en apnée dans la région. Pendant le snorkeling, votre guide vous fournira également des informations pédagogiques sur la vie marine. Il ou elle plongera et, en refaisant surface, identifiera et nommera diverses espèces de poissons et de coraux afin que chacun ait la possibilité d'en apprendre davantage sur l'écosystème sous-marin. Cet arrêt dure généralement environ 30 à 40 minutes, selon les conditions. La sécurité est toujours notre priorité absolue, mais nous voulons bien sûr que tout le monde s’amuse aussi.

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.
