Itinerário
A parada de alimentação Tarpon é de longe um dos destaques do passeio. Gostamos de dizer, se você ainda não está completamente acordado, esta é a parada que é garantida para fazer seu coração bombear! Tarpon são peixes maciços que podem crescer até 8 pés de comprimento e pesar até 300 libras. Alimentar esses gigantes saltos é uma experiência inesquecível que você definitivamente não quer perder ao visitar Caye Caulker.
O Belize Barrier Reef tem cerca de 287 milhas de comprimento. Em um tour de dia inteiro a partir de Caye Caulker, você estará explorando apenas uma pequena parte de sua magnificência. Nossa próxima parada fica a apenas 8 minutos de Caye Caulker, onde vamos pesquisar 2 a 3 áreas principais do recife para manatees. Uma vez encontrados, vamos mergulhar com eles – é claro – mantendo uma distância respeitosa e evitando qualquer toque ou assédio dessas majestosas criaturas. Se não tivermos sorte no início, continuaremos para outras paragens e tentaremos novamente em nosso caminho de volta para Caye Caulker.
A nossa próxima parada é o Coral Garden. Aqui é onde você vai snorkel e explorar ao seu próprio ritmo - se você preferir ir sozinho ou com um amigo de viagem ou parceiro, independentemente do seu nível de experiência. Embora o Coral Garden esteja localizado fora da área protegida, tratamos todas as paradas de snorkeling com o mesmo nível de cuidado e respeito. Isso significa não ficar de pé, tocar nos corais, ou coletar nada do recife. O Jardim de Corais é o lar de uma grande variedade de belas flora e fauna, incluindo tartarugas marinhas, cisnes, tubarões enfermeiros, raios de águia, águas moray, e muitos tipos diferentes de peixes, bem como uma impressionante gama de formações de coral em todas as formas, tamanhos e cores.
Nossa versão pequena do Titanic - a Barge Sunken - é de aproximadamente 40 pés de comprimento e 20 pés de largura. Tem sido uma atração única por muitos anos, graças à grande variedade de corais e peixes que o tornaram seu lar. Embora cobre uma pequena área, é incrivelmente interessante à sua maneira. Como uma estrutura grande e oculta, você nunca sabe o que pode estar escondido dentro ou por baixo dela - como águas de moray maciças, tubarões de enfermagem, tartarugas e peixes-leões. Depois de mais de 30 anos debaixo d'água, a barca agora está lindamente encravada com uma mistura vibrante de coral duro e macio, acrescentando seu charme e importância ecológica.
Em seguida, à medida que entramos na Reserva Marinha Hol Chan, chegamos ao Shark and Ray Alley – uma das paradas de snorkel mais divertidas e excitantes. Os tubarões enfermeiros, que estão entre os tubarões mais dóceis em nosso recife, são as únicas espécies de tubarões comumente encontradas nesta área. Eles compartilham as águas com os caranguejos do sul e uma variedade de peixes, todos aproveitando o chumming limitado permitido nesta parte designada da reserva. Assim que qualquer navio entra, os tubarões começam a seguir atrás, esperando comida. E assim que amarramos o nosso barco a uma das linhas de boia, elas se reúnem perto do esternão do lado da placa principal, girando em torno de sardinhas. Esses tubarões podem ser facilmente vistos a partir da embarcação, pois chegam muito perto do barco - mas, claro, convidamos você a entrar e fazer a experiência verdadeiramente inesquecível.
O Canal Hol Chan é a primeira zona da reserva a ser protegida, datada de 1987. Este canal é cheio de vida marinha e oferece uma incrível experiência de snorkeling. Como estamos agora dentro de uma área protegida, regras rigorosas se aplicam a todos que entram e snorkel aqui. Todos os hóspedes devem seguir seu guia em todos os momentos, como o canal pode ocasionalmente ter correntes fortes e vários grupos de snorkelers na área. Durante o snorkel, seu guia também fornecerá insights educacionais sobre a vida marinha. Ele ou ela vai mergulhar e, ao ressurgir, identificar e nomear várias espécies de peixes e coral para que todos tenham a oportunidade de aprender mais sobre o ecossistema submarino. Esta parada normalmente leva cerca de 30 a 40 minutos, dependendo das condições. A segurança é sempre a nossa prioridade – mas, claro, queremos que todos se divirtam também.

My girlfriend and I had an incredible experience today on our Hol Chan Marine Reserve tour with Blackhawk Tours.

We were given a perfect amount of time at each stop of the tour and were fully able to enjoy and take advantage of each experience offered. With opportunities to see many different species of fish, Sting Rays, Sea Turtles, Sharks and even a Manatee, this tour offered incredible and unforgettable experiences. Lunch, drinks and fruit were served onboard and everyone was given time to be able to take a break and eat during the tour. Overall I would recommend this tour 100 % !

We signed up for this tour thinking it was primarily Hol Chan and Shark Alley, but it was so much more. Allwin and EJ did a great job providing multiple experiences and ensuring we saw some great marine life. Highly recommend!

Alwin and EJ will be happy to know they helped make your tour memorable and that you got to see so much amazing marine life. We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
The last day of our special birthday trip to Caye Caulker was spent on the boat with the best tour/snorkling guides, Al and EJ from Blackhawk Tours! They were super cool guys, very fun and very knowledgeable. We saw everything and more than we were promised, including the most beautiful male and female couple of manatees that let us just float along and hang out with them in the water for as long as we wanted. EJ is an expert diver, safely drawing hidden animals out from their camouflage and explaining everything in great detail. And the lunch, fruit, and rum punch were perfect! Couldn’t imagine a better day, and an extremely competitive price as well. Do yourself a favor and book with these guys! Walk into the office and chat with Kelvin, he’ll hook you up!
We’ve done five snorkeling excursions so far, on three different continents and this was the best so far!
Thank you so much! We’re honored to hear this was your favorite snorkeling excursion yet — especially after adventures across three continents! It means a lot to our team, and we’re thrilled we could help make your time on the water so memorable. Hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable trip someday!
Fantastic tour, didn’t love the shark feedings (bad for wildlife) but the guides were kind and passionate about conservation. They did everything in their power to make sure we had the best experience possible, and I appreciated the smaller size of the group seeing what some of the other boats out there looked like
Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! We really appreciate your honest feedback about the shark feedings and understand your concerns. Our team cares deeply about marine conservation, so it means a lot to hear that our guides’ passion and efforts came through during your experience. We’re also happy you enjoyed the smaller group size — we believe it creates a safer, more personal, and more enjoyable experience for both our guests and the wildlife. Thanks again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back out on the water someday!
We had an amazing full day snorkelling trip with Blackhawk Tours Belize and would highly recommend it. Al kept everyone laughing all day, while EJ was so informative about the marine life — they both made the whole experience fun, relaxed and professional. By the end of the day our group of 12 all felt like friends, so shout out to everyone for making it such a great day! They were also incredibly kind and attentive to my mother, who was a little less confident in the water, and made her feel completely at ease throughout the trip. If you’re at all nervous about snorkelling, you’ll be in very safe hands. We were lucky enough to see dolphins, manatees, turtles, sharks, tarpons, sting rays, barracuda, coral and loads of tropical fish - truly unforgettable. Lunch was also fantastic, a plentiful homecooked packed lunch with fresh fruit afterwards. Definitely go for the baked chicken! You will also leave with several free photos and videos they take or let you take with their own GoPro. I didn’t even really need my own phone, they have you covered. Overall, a brilliantly run experience that was absolutely worth the money and one of the highlights of our Belize trip. Thank you thank you to the entire team (office team included too)!
Thank you so much for such an incredible review! It truly means the world to our entire team to hear that your day with us was one of the highlights of your Belize trip. Al and EJ will be absolutely thrilled to hear your kind words — keeping everyone smiling, informed, comfortable and safe is exactly what we aim for on every tour. We’re especially happy to hear that your mother felt supported and at ease throughout the experience. Helping guests build confidence in the water and enjoy the beauty of Belize at their own pace is something we care deeply about. And what an amazing wildlife day you had — dolphins, manatees, turtles, sharks, stingrays and more! Those are the kinds of memories that stay with you forever, and we’re so glad we could share them with such a fun group. By the end of the trip it really did feel like a boat full of friends! Thank you as well for mentioning the lunch, photos/videos, and our office team behind the scenes — everyone works hard to make the entire experience smooth and memorable from start to finish. We sincerely appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you and your family back out on the water again someday!
