Thread: the best snorkel place to see sharks, even whale sharks ??

I did read the entire forum but did not find what we are looking for so that is why I kindly like some advice : .


We will visit on our upcoming cruise ( March ) Carnival Valor
The Cayman Islands (have been there did the stingray, want to do it again )
Roatan
Belize
Cozumel ( have been there did go to palancar, sorry the part we did, at that time, it was not great)



Snorkeling is our top favorite, second favorite is island touring
where should we go, with whom should we go with, to see coral, fish, dolphins, sharks, ….. that sweeps us away ?

We are very strong swimmers ( are snorkeling for almost 30 years and have seen a lot, yes we are very lucky we know) we are not afraid of strong current and deep sea and are fully equipped.

If we should hire a boat, dive cy, tour organization : we hate cattle boats with booze and loud music (they throw up where you have to snorkel, really have been through that )
Which one can you advise us ?
We are not looking for a long day at sea and an half an hour of snorkeling ( do not need a tan to prove that we have been on a holiday ) and I am on a cruise so will be on a boat for the whole week.


-Belize : shark ray alley seems great / hol chan marine reserve / Caye Caulker anyone been there and which cy ? whale shark tours ???
all your information is welcome !



If we could do both go on a snorkel trip combined with an island tour even better but really a few fish and some rocks simply cannot tempt us anymore.

I thank you very very much for all your help and hope to get some good idea’s

Have a great day

Have snorkeled Belize, but only the 'tamer' spots.

However, I know that there is a dive location there that is called "Shark Ray Alley," and I think it's near Ambergris Cay. You might try googling SHARK RAY ALLEY BELIZE and see what you find.

thank you so much for your input
yes I did find shark ray alley and also caye caulker I just need the right boat that could bring us there
all i did find were big cattle boats with too many people
but thanks again
have a nice evening from Belgium
