Snorkeling at Silk Cayes – Placencia, Belize

Image
The water is so clear that there are at least 5 shades of blue at different depths. Then the island is completely surrounded by a coral reef and variety pack of colorful fish. Underwater Upside down jellyfish The reef is a good depth to enjoy with just snorkel gear. Everything around the island is either just below eye level, or free dive-able. Above water It’s hard to choose if the view waS better from above or below the surface. The snorkeling was top 3 that I have ever done, but just look views from the sand! From shore, we saw a lemon shark just as we were gearing up, and then he can back around lunchtime as our cooks through some scraps in the water. 5-foot lemon shark in about 2 foot of water Lunch with a view During our afternoon snorkel with got a chance to swim with several rays, nurse sharks, and a massive lager head turtle, sadly the turtle did not want his picture taken and was extremely fast for a turtle!

A Trip into the Ancient Underworld | Cave Tubing In Belize

Image
On our trip to the Cayes of Belize, we came across a cave tubing Belize trip. We booked a custom tour out of a small shop near the lazy lizard on Caye Caulker. The tour took us on our choice of Mayan Ruins and then cave tubing afterward. The trip was a little pricey but I think it was worthwhile. The way this tour was operated was customized compared to a traditional “canned” tour.  We hopped on the ferry from San Pedro, Ambergris Caye headed back to the mainland Belize ready for our adventure!  We were greeted at the Belize City Ferry Terminal by a Belizean Woman with her mid-90’s Ford Explorer. Anticipating a van with a few other tourists it seemed a bit strange. Once we got past our expectations we had a nice day. She was well informed and we were the only two on the tour.  Being a private day trip made the price of the trip feel more worth it.
