Ambergris Caye Barrier Reef Getaway
Based in San Pedro, snorkel Hol Chan, explore Secret Beach, and visit Caye Caulker on your way out.
A relaxed itinerary with no hotel changes, perfect for those with a short vacation who want to experience the barrier reef. Spend two days on snorkeling excursions and exploring the island by golf cart, with a stopover at Caye Caulker on the final day. This route skips inland ruins and the Great Blue Hole to maximize your time on the close-in coral reefs.
Sargassum seaweed is common on east-facing shores from June to October, and September and October are the peak of the storm season.
