A twenty minute drive into Punta Gorda on the coast, then into a motor boat to begin this idyllic tour through some of the most beautiful of Toledo's offshore cayes. The Port Honduras Marine Reserve is one of the newest conservation areas in Belize and you will visit the ranger station on tiny Abalone Caye. Climb the observation tower for a magnificent view of the Bay of Honduras and it's many emerald cayes. As you make your way out to the Snake Cayes, keep your eyes open for Manatee, Dolphins, Magnificent Frigate Birds and Brown Boobies. You will snorkel, swim and lunch on West Snake Caye renowned for its crystal clear, turquoise waters. In the afternoon, once outside the Marine Reserve, your guide will undoubtedly suggest a bit of fishing on the way home. People in Toledo love to fish and these are, after all, some of the best fishing grounds in the Caribbean. You may catch your own dinner of snapper, barracuda, grouper or kingfish. You may, however, choose to let others do the work and just lie back and enjoy the late afternoon breeze over the water.
