For anyone wanting something a little more off the beaten path, this might be just what you are looking for. Goff's Caye is a tiny little island that is perfect for families or anyone wanting to experience an outstanding opportunity to snorkel in Belize. Goff's Caye is only 1.2 acres of natural coral sand, making it only about the size of a football field!
You will meet your friendly and professional shore excursion guide on shore at your Belize tender terminal. From there you will take a 20-30 minute boat ride to this amazingly beautiful and quiet island. While on your way to the island, you can't help spotting numerous mangrove islands which are home to an assortment of beautiful water birds such as the Brown Boobies, Cormorants, Terns, and possibly the Frigatebirds. It is not uncommon to spot an occasional pod of bottle-nose dolphins as well!
Goff's Caye can only be described as your own little piece of paradise. Sitting directly on the world's second-largest Barrier Reef, the snorkeling opportunities are endless. With the island actually being part of the coral reef, there is no need to jump in a boat and go anywhere else. The coral reef surrounds the island just a few feet off the beach. Whether it's working on your tan, building sand castles, or simply enjoying the crystal blue waters, this tiny little island still offers the ultimate beach experience for everyone.
Going back to basics, there are no beach chairs. And please do not forget to bring your beach towels. You may also bring your own snacks if you like. Bottled water and a welcome rum punch will be provided. You will also be able to purchase food and beverages. Picnic-style BBQ or Chicken Kabobs, grilled lobster tails, coconuts, and cold beers are among your choices.
The snorkeling on this Goff's Caye excursion is awesome, so it's perfect for beginners and also for those who have experience. Of course, you are welcome to bring your own, but all snorkel gear is provided. Just hang out on the beach if you choose not to snorkel. Your guides will be there to assist you throughout the day and when the shore excursion comes to an end they will take you back to the Belize cruise ship terminal. Time on the island is approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes.
