What it's like
Shark Ray Alley is a shallow stretch of water near Caye Caulker, on the reef system off the coast of Belize. Nurse sharks and stingrays gather here, and visitors can see them close up while snorkeling.
Most of the time goes to the boat ride, the snorkel stop and the return. Tours also add a beach break at Caye Caulker.
Good to know
- Reef snorkel trips are booked as tours, so arrange one ahead of the day you plan to go.
- Carry bottled water, sunscreen and your passport, and stay with your group on the trip.
- Water taxis from Belize City go to Caye Caulker, so the boat trip starts there.
