firefighter4u Posted January 18, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 18, 2018 So which has better snorkeling, Belize or Roatan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted January 18, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Roatan has some pretty good snorkeling right from the beach. Belize has some great snorkeling, but you have to go a pretty good way to get to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coevan Posted January 18, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 18, 2018 as a diver, Belize coral reef is world renown, yes you can boat or fly to the Cays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossfitmama Posted January 18, 2018 #4 Share Posted January 18, 2018 We did this catamaran snorkeling tour in Roatan and really enjoyed it https://roatancruiseexcursions.com/excursion/roatan-catamaran-snorkeling/ Beautiful reefs and loads of tropical fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordinsmith Posted January 18, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Ill put a second for Belize. We did an excursion from the boat that took us to a tiny private island with a reef right there. snorkel off the boat then back to the private island for rum punch and more snorkeling off the beach.

A6mech Posted January 18, 2018 #6 Share Posted January 18, 2018 We snorkeled in both on our last cruise (August 2017). Belize was by far the better experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athankfulheart Posted January 18, 2018 #7 Share Posted January 18, 2018 They both have beautiful snorkeling, BUT Roatan is more accessible on a cruise day. You CAN do a snorkel day in Belize from a cruise but it is better suited to a land trip when it comes to snorkeling. Belize doesn't offer the abundance of ship passenger tours that Roatan does ( ship or private) that Roatan does when it comes to snorkeling. Snorkeling trips in Belize just feel so rushed too =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmdiver Posted January 18, 2018 #8 Share Posted January 18, 2018 We did a snorkel trip years ago in Belize. The operator picked us up off the ship, took us snorkeling, then to Wet Willy's in San Pedro (I think) to grab some food & drink and wander about town. It was a nice trip. We've done scuba diving twice in Roatan through the ship with Anthony's Key Resort. Great trips as well. I say snorkel at both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
