Turtle Encounter, Snorkeling And Beach Break At Silk Caye

OVERVIEW

Snorkel through crystal-clear waters that are home to sea turtles and countless tropical fish as a prelude to relaxing on the beach that rims lovely Silk Caye. As you cruise toward the caye, you will pass other barrier islands and a largely undeveloped coastline whose natural beauty is inspiring. The boat will anchor at a spot where hawksbill, green and loggerhead sea turtles are often seen. While there is no telling what you will observe underwater, it will definitely be a thrill if one of these magnificent creatures gracefully swims by. You will also have the opportunity to snorkel the coral reefs off Silk Caye, which are teeming with brightly colored fish such as tiger groupers, rainbow parrotfish and yellow-striped goatfish. Free time follows on the beach at Silk Caye, where you can stretch out and bask in the sun while enjoying a cool fruit punch. Rum punch will be served on the return cruise.
