“Thatch Caye offers affordable half-day & full-day excursions. We did the snorkeling excursion at the Belize Barrier Reef. It is one of the most fascinating experiences I have ever had, swimming alongside nurse sharks, sting rays, & rainbow fish. The untouched beauty of the world's 2nd largest reef really puts life on land into perspective.”

Chris D.

“We loved our first experience so much that we came back to complete our SCUBA certifications. Thatch made the entire certification process incredibly easy. Our instructor was outstanding. She took the time to ensure we understood both the knowledge & skills required to dive safely & confidently. Why not get your certification at one of the most beautiful reefs in the world?”

Taylor I.

“All of the tours were outstanding! They shared great info about the cayes, wildlife, & were entertaining & fun. They were expert guides spotting all kinds of creatures in & around the ocean. One of the most engaging & enjoyable excursion experiences I've ever been on was the lobster & conch hunt. The resort chef then grilled the lobster we caught & made a delicious conch ceviche for our dinner.”
