Shark Ray Alley is located just one mile south of the Hol Chan cut and is listed as “Zone D” of the Hol Chan Marine Reserve. Once a place where fishermen would clean their catches, this 1,280-acre protected region has evolved into a top snorkeling location!
Shark Ray Alley offers you the rare opportunity to snorkel beside stingrays, nurse sharks, and turtles. These gentle giants are accustomed to humans, so you can get up close and personal with them. Just be sure you keep your distance and don't touch them.
The best time to visit Shark Ray Alley is during the high tide when the water is clear and the animals are more active. Be sure to bring your camera, as this is a photo op you'll definitely want to take.
