Parasailing can be booked only on the east side of the island.
Snorkel & Diving
Ambergris Caye is renowned as a premier dive destination, attracting visitors for its exceptional diving and snorkeling sites nearby. Local dive shops provide full gear rentals and offer certification at all levels through PADI and NAUI. They also organize daily trips to the reef and other local dive spots, with options for one, two, or three tank dives, including night dives.
For those who do not dive or have never snorkeled, the Hol Chan Reserve, Shark Ray Alley, and other coral gardens offer an equally exhilarating experience. You can snorkel in just three feet of water alongside brightly colored parrotfish or drift over the 60-foot depths of the Caribbean Sea beyond the reef, marveling at the captivating underwater world of this marine paradise. You can plan an excursion to safely snorkel with the nurse sharks and sting rays, its is an amazing experience!
Fishing
Whether you are looking for some casual fun or are a dedicated fly or sports fisherman, you can find the perfect fishing tour on the island. You can catch your supper with a tour guide/fisherman or ask about highly skilled fly-fishing guides who protect their “secret” fishing spots. If you're interested in big game fishing, several places offer deep-sea fishing excursions, and the country hosts several tournaments annually.
Sailing Excursions
Sailing tours can be arranged with local guides, typically lasting an entire day. These trips often include a tour around Ambergris Caye and nearby islands like Chapel Caye and Caye Caulker, frequently featuring a beach barbecue for lunch. You can casually drift along on a traditional sailboat or opt for a motorized catamaran tour. Sunset dinner cruises are very popular!
