Caye Caulker Marine Reserve (Shark-Ray Village), has become one of the newest tourist attractions  at Caye Caulker, Belize. This protected park started out in a similar manner as the Hol Chan Marine Park in nearby Ambergris Caye, Belize in which reef sharks and sting rays were fed unwanted fish scraps by the local fishermen. Now the rays and sharks know that they will be fed whenever a boat turns up and they are quick to swarm towards any boat that arrives. In the shallow water along the barrier reef, visitors are able to earn the trust of dozens of southern stingrays and a variety of shark species.

These creatures have a great tolerance for snorkelers and seem to enjoy the human interaction. The rays, which have a 'wing-span' of two to four feet, swim directly towards the divers, inviting them to reach out and stroke their wings (although it's best not to touch them). Some will also swim in circles around guests like a cat rubbing against its owners legs. The gentle Nurse Sharks average four to six feet in length and are docile creatures. The amount of rays that come to the park is astounding and can be intimidating at first glance but by the time the guests leave Shark-Ray Village, each will have touched a ray, learned about their behavior and lost his/her fear.

This is one adventure you don't want to miss!!!
