A snorkeling trip off the coast of Placencia is a journey into the stunning crystal clear waters off the coast of Belize. Gliding along the caribbean sea in a rasta-colored speedboat, with a stream of sweet mango rum punch lifting out spirits and coating our tongues. The taste of island time.

Rum Caye

Our first stop was Rum Caye, a tiny local fisherman island. The island itself was dirty from use, but the water surrounding it was stunning and clean. Belize works hard to preserve it’s reefs. The water here was crystal clear and full of life. We went snorkeling around the perimeter of the island spotting all kinds of fish and a massive sting ray. The string ray must’ve had around a 12 foot wing span.

Our guide cooked us up a barbecue after the snorkel. Chicken, pasta salad, and cheesy potatoes. It was hearty and delicious. Also we were literally the only people on the island, basking in the sunshine of this amazing place.

King Lewey Island

Next stop on our ocean tour was King Lewey Island. This small island is like a little playground with cabanas, a bar, a water trampoline, games, hammocks, and resident nurse sharks that like to find shade in the pool.

This was a fun-filled day with endless fun activities. Get out on the water in Belize! Spend the day on a boat!
