We love to Snorkel!
With nearly 100 miles of coastline, the island has many exciting places to explore with your mask and snorkel. Our experienced snorkel guides will take you to the best areas and make sure your safety is our first priority! We want you to get the most out of your snorkeling trip always feeling safe and looked after.
Our snorkel tours can take you all around the island to see the best spots.
All around Roatan the reefs have shallow areas that allow snorkelers to see more than 70 species of corals, 400 species of fish, turtles, eagle rays, and nurse sharks.
In between the different stops you can enjoy the stunning scenery of the island while relaxing on our comfortable boat. Our custom 2024, 36 foot boat with twin Yamaha 300’s, has a cushioned front seating area to relax with a private bathroom, and a fresh water rinse station. Our boat comes packed with comfort that is perfect to get some sun in, as well as a 12 foot long top to allow your whole crew to get in shade if needed. The back platform allows for easy entry and we believe our ladder is the best one in the Caribbean! You will have to tell us what you think.
