Private Fishing, Snorkeling & Beach Cookout on Ambergris Caye — San Pedro Day Trip
Spend a day off San Pedro exploring the Belize Barrier Reef: sport fishing, guided snorkel stops on colorful patch reefs, and a beachside cookout featuring your catch. This private tour blends marine interpretation with hands-on adventure for a full-day coastal experience.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Sun protection is critical—choose a mineral sunscreen to protect both your skin and corals.
Pack a snorkel mask you trust
Masks supplied vary—bring your own for the best fit and clearer snorkeling.
Stay hydrated and eat light
Bring water and light snacks; salt air and activity dehydrate quickly, and a light stomach helps with motion.
Secure motion-sensitive gear
Use a dry bag or tether for cameras and phones; waves and spray can be sudden.
