Snorkel in the clear waters of the Silk Cayes, part of the Belize Barrier Reef, on a day trip from Placencia. Enjoy lunch on the Caye. Depart from Placencia and head to the Silk Cayes, a group of small coral islands inside the Belize Barrier Reef. Admire the white sandy beaches and turquoise waters as you approach the islands. Receive a briefing from the park rangers before heading into the water. Snorkel with your guide to see the abundant and varied marine life and meet the local residents. If you have not snorkeled before, your guide is happy to show you the ins and outs of snorkeling. After your first snorkeling session, enjoy an authentic Belize-style picnic lunch on the beach. If you're traveling with divers, they can join you for lunch. After lunch, head back into the water to explore the coral formations and meet more of the denizens who make Silk Cayes their home. After your second snorkeling session, head to a spot just inside the barrier reef where local fishermen clean their catch. Snorkel with huge turtles, rays, and sharks.
