My boyfriend and I went to the Hol Chan Reserve as part of an snorkleing excursion with Amigos Del Mar. This was worth every penny we paid. We saw thousands of fish. The water is beautiful and crystal clear. A must for sure. More

Sharks and sting rays!!! If you are gentle you can pet the sting rays. The sea turtles don't like to be touched. More
