Really fun snorkeling experience. We left the dock at noon and got to our first snorkel spot where we saw several fish, rays, some sleeping sharks, and sea turtles! Then we went to the next spot where we swam with sharks! Super fun. After that we had lunch (delicious chicken tacos, rice/beans, and fish) then went to caye caulker where we could get out and walk around for an hour. Then we set sail back to San Pedro, which took about two hours. There was homemade ceviche on the ride home. Open bar the entire time. We recommend this excursion. The staff were charming, funny, and accommodating!

This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Belize. We spent around six hours on the tour, and the entire experience was amazing from beginning to end.
We snorkeled along the coral reef and had the opportunity to swim surrounded by so much marine life. We saw tons of colorful fish, barracudas, and many other species throughout the day. One of the most incredible moments was getting to swim near manatees, which made the experience even more special.
Swimming with the nurse sharks was another unforgettable part of the tour! Being in the water surrounded by them was such a unique experience and definitely something we will always remember.
The food provided during the tour was delicious, and the staff was absolutely incredible — friendly, attentive, and made sure everyone had a great time throughout the day.
We finished the tour with a stop at Caye Caulker, where we had some time to walk around and explore the island. Since we visited during the low season, it was very quiet and there weren’t many people around, but we still enjoyed getting to experience the island.
Overall, this was a fantastic tour and an unforgettable experience. Between the coral reef, the incredible marine life, swimming with nurse sharks and manatees, the delicious food, and the amazing staff, we couldn’t have asked for a better day. Highly recommended!
It was amazing!!Everyone on the boat was very informative and they kept us laughing. Chefs kiss to the beautiful sunset view on the way back.
We had an absolutely incredible adventure on the snorkeling and sunset cruise with Belize Catamaran in San Pedro! From the moment we stepped aboard, Charlie, Anna, and Ray made sure the day was nothing short of fantastic. They were friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about sharing the best of a Belize experience.
We snorkeled at two completely different spots, each offering something unique - especially Shark Alley where we had an in-the-water close-up view of nurse sharks. It was amazing to see such a variety of marine life in one trip. All the gear was provided, so there was zero hassle — just grab your mask and fins and go.
After our snorkeling stops as we sailed toward Caulker Caye, the crew served a delicious lunch on board, which gave us a chance to relax, refuel, and soak in the views. The catamaran itself was comfortable and well-maintained, making the whole day feel smooth and very relaxing . Charlie (El Capitan) did a great job at the helm!
The whole experience — the snorkeling, the food, the crew, the scenery — came together perfectly, Watching the sun set in the West and moon rise in the East from the boat on the way back was the ideal way to end the day.
Huge thanks to Charlie, Anna, and Ray for such a memorable adventure. Anna and Ray were our guides on the snorkeling stops as well as making sure everyone was comfortable and happy every minute of the day. If you're in San Pedro and looking for a fun, well-organized way to see the reef and enjoy the water, this is it. Highly recommend it!
PS. I have snorkeled and dived at The Great Barrier Reef in Australia and this was a better experience.
We couldn’t have asked for a better tour!!! It was hands down the most magical day! From sea turtles, sharks, stingrays to dolphins!!! Our kids couldn’t stop talking about how much fun they had! I was unsure how much our 5yr old would be able to do without one parent having to sit out with him but our guides helped so much. This was our favorite part of our stay in Belize.
If you are visiting Belize, you absolutely must book this catamaran tour. It was the total highlight of our entire trip, and we had a WICKED time!
From start to finish, the entire crew went above and beyond, but Captain Charlie and Anna truly made the day spectacular. We felt incredibly safe, comfortable, and well taken care of the entire time.
The Highlights:
Incredible Snorkeling: We swam with sharks at Shark Ray Alley and explored Hol Chan Marine Reserve. Captain Charlie was amazing at pointing out wildlife—we saw sea turtles, lots of beautiful fish, sharks, massive stingrays, and barracudas!
Amazing Food & Drinks: Anna was an absolute superstar. She kept the delicious drinks flowing (the mango tangos were a massive hit!) and served up the most amazing food, including fresh ceviche and classic Belizean rice and beans.
Bonus Photos: As an extra special touch, Anna did a fantastic job taking photos of everyone throughout the day and sent them to us after the tour, which was such a wonderful bonus.
We had the most unforgettable time with Charlie and Anna. Do yourself a favor and book this tour—you won't regret it!
Wow what an experience!! Anna and Captain Charlie made the day trip amazing! From the time we got on the boat we felt so welcome and safe! Anna kept the drinks flowing and Charlie got us to all of our destinations. And guided us snorkeling through Hol Chan, seeing sharks, eels, and so many different fish and coral.
Shark Ally was unreal! The food and drinks served were delicious!
I would recommend this trip to anyone! Thanks for a WICKED day to Anna and Charlie!
Seamless experience! We saw so much wildlife - rays, sharks, lobster, sea turtles, and so many types of fish! The guides were so nice and even pulled my 7 year old along on a ring so he could relax. We had so much fun!
This experience was so much fun!! Anna and Captain Charlie were the perfect hosts to our adventure. We lucked up and didn't have to share the boat with any other guests, which made the sailing even more special. We always felt safe in the water and on the boat. We saw so many sea creatures!!! It was by far one of the coolest experiences. Drinks were flowing, the meal was good but the ceviche was PERFECT. The only thing I wished is that we were able to stay in the water longer but I understand they have to follow reef rules. Because of this experience, I will always go snorkeling on a trip if it's an option.
I was communicating with Linda a few days before my scheduled tour because of the weather. She was able to accommodate me and allowed me to change my tour date since I was a party of one. I am extremely appreciative and I had a great time on the tour. I would recommend this to anyone!
Great all day excursion. The team was very attentive and even took photos of our group throughout the trip. They provide some really good food and accommodated all allergies we had. As many rum punches as you could ask for too, we just recommend waiting until after snorkeling.
Really enjoyed the snorkeling and the guides had great information about the marine life and the parks themselves.
This tour was awesome, best one we did in Belize. Charlie, Anna, and Camilla were awesome. Super friendly and served us like royalty.
The overall day was great. We had a great crew with Charlie, Anna, and one more person who's name has slipped my mind. The crew was very energetic and funny. What I appreciated the most was the drinks and food. They provided a real lunch that was cooked. They were very knowledgable about our environment and I didn't feel rushed at all. We took our time and relaxed and having that time to explore Cay Cayuer was perfect. The overall timing was just right and not having to meet up until 1130 was a definate plus. I would highly recommend this tour 100 times over.
BEST TIME! The snorkeling was amazing, lunch, rum punch was the bomb. Crew was fantastic. And the ceviche for the 2 hour cruise back in was delicious. It was a wonderful day.
The boat was clean & comfy. Staff was experienced, knowledgeable, & fun. The music was playing & the drinks were flowing. Customer Service was on point. Snorkeling at the reef & with the sharks was priceless and simply beautiful. Feasted on traditional and flavorful Belizan lunch & shrimp ceviche. The island was cute & quaint. We enjoyed shopping, ice cream, and cocktails. We definitely recommend this full day of fun under the sun. As Anna, ourtour guide, would say this was "Wicked!"
Amazing! The crew was fun and taking care of everyone. We had such amazing experience. I highly recommend.
Amazing crew they have been accommodative, fun, and overall awesome. They took care of my friends and I. Drinks were great foods great and the vessel was nice
Book this! Wonderful time! The crew is top notch! We saw everything described! Our family highly appreciated the amazing day!
Our guide Charlie, and helping hands Maya and Victoria were so knowledgeable and made our experience so smooth and so incredible! I would absolutely recommend this excursion to those looking to have a fun and unique experience!
Amazing staff, details about the area and wildlife, good drinks and food! You can't make it better! Snorkeling in two areas, sharks, turtles and a short stay on Cay Caulker.
Such an amazing tour! This tour included so much for a fun filled day of fun. The staff was amazing and the food and drinks were awesome.
Bring a light jacket and your towel otherwise they provide all you need. Have gone snorkeling often but this experience was amazing
Absolutely amazing time with Jousa, Anna, and Victor. Definitely a great team and treated you like family. The snorkeling was great and the day was paced very well. Never felt rushed !
This catamaran crew is awesome! They were so fun, informative, safe and helpful! The food they served on board was better than some restaurants on the island. Captain Charlie and Anna were fantastic, friendly and attentive to every person on board. This full day cruise allows you to combine snorkeling, traditional Belizian food, a quick trip to Caye Caulker and a sunset cruise all in one. Definitely good value and a great day overall.
Great experience! Anna and Charlie were amazing hosts. I brought my teen children and they had a blast as well!
Awesome experience! Maybe an hour longer than it needs to be. Hol Chan and shark ray alley are awesome. The boat crew were amazing - very attentive. The food was good. The drinks were flowing (we didn’t drink much, but others did). The seats were a bit wet but it rained that morning so maybe that’s why. If they included towels that would be amazing, but bring your own towels!
Great crew! Our first time snorkeling and Anna was so patient & helpful. The snorkeling was amazing, the feeding of the nurse sharks & a visit to Caye Caulker. Just a wonderful day.
Trip was very well put together and staff was courteous and professional. However a large group with very small kids was apart of the excursion and this turned this beautiful trip into a trip filled with anxiety and difficulty. I would stress giving other passengers the option to participate in this or offer alternative times/days going forward as that group put a significant strain on the remaining passengers that were there.
Great tour including snorkeling at HolChan and Shark Alley. Visited Caye Caulker too. Staff was very helpful serving us all in many ways.
What an amazing day spent on the water. The boat was so comfy and fitted with cup holders and padded seating perfect for lounging and enjoying the sun. The staff was so kind and friendly. Jose, Anna and Eric were all terrific. Lunch was delicious. The afternoon snack so nice during the sunset. Snorkeling was incredible. We saw so many beautiful sea creatures. I can not recommend this tour enough. It is a full day but every moment of it was so enjoyable.
We had an amazing time. Jose was hilarious and made us feel safe. We will definitely tell any friend traveling to San Pedro to use this company for their snorkeling experience.
