Lionfish Snorkel Hunt in Hopkins, Belize: An Adventure with Purpose!

Experience one of the most unique and meaningful adventures in Hopkins with our Lionfish Hunt Tour. This eco-adventure lets you explore the Belize Barrier Reef while directly helping protect it from one of the ocean’s most destructive invasive species.

Lionfish have no natural predators in Belize and feed aggressively on native reef fish, threatening the balance of the entire ecosystem. By joining this tour, you’ll play an active role in reef conservation while enjoying an unforgettable day on the water.

Your adventure begins with a short briefing on lionfish, their impact on Belize’s marine life, and why safe removal is so important. At your first snorkel stop in crystal-clear waters (10–20 feet deep), your guide will show you how to spot lionfish in their hiding spots and teach you how to safely spear and bag them.

The experience doesn’t end there, you’ll also learn how to clean and prepare lionfish while hearing more about ongoing conservation efforts. All catches are recorded to track population control, and you can even bring your filleted lionfish back to Hopkins to be cooked for dinner at your favorite local restaurant.

This is more than just a snorkeling trip! It’s a hands-on way to give back to the reef while discovering the vibrant underwater world of Belize.
