I had an amazing experience. First time really snorkeling. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Very accommodating, I missed the ferry that would have gotten me there on time but reached out immediately to staff and they waited for me. I would highly recommend! The instructors were informative, kind, knowledgeable, patience, caring and fun!

Because I hurt my foot, I was unable to snorkel but the crew make it a great experience. Thank you so much.

Didn't get information that a water taxi was necessary to get to the starting point from the cruise port. Missed the tour because the water taxi couldn't get us to Caye Caulker until after the tour departed. Wouldn't have booked this had I known about the water taxi schedule.

Watch out- this is NON REFUNDABLE…… even if you can’t go!!!!!!!! A NO for you travelers- especially off season

Excellent communication. Henry contacted me on WhatsApp to let me know rain might cancel the afternoon tour and he facilitated me joining the morning tour. The snorkelling was great and the tour guides took great care of me since I'm a poor swimmer. The added sightseeing stops to feed the Tarpons and look for seahorses were a lot of fun. Great price, great guides and a great tour set up!

I can not recommend this tour. Hurricane/tropical storm moves into Belize area and we were not able to go. I emailed and called their phone number and never got a response. They weren’t able to provide the tour. I need a refund, but can’t get in contact with them.
No communication, no good review.
Don’t book with them.

Hi,
This is totally false. We have not gotten any Emails or contact from you. There were no hurricanes, there was a Tropical Storm that passed south of Belize, either way we did not hear from you at all. Our Staff works very hard and do not deserve a rating like this, especially since you did not do the Tour. You were free to contact the company you booked through as well. They have not contacted us either.

The very best part was Chris and Shaun and Henry who let the excursion. They were helpful, kind, interesting and funny. Very good at what they do. Give them a raise!
Diana_L, Aug 2024
This was such a fun trip, the operators were very informative and super helpful the small group was given clear instructions we had a lot of time to feed the tarpon. The guide took amazing pictures and videos of the snorkeling / reef experience the reef is beautiful and the sharks and stingrays were awesome we got so much video loved this would recommend to anyone!!!

I got bronchitis and instead of cancelling and getting a refund which I had time to do, I asked to change the date which they agreed to at first but after chasing them for a date they dropped it on me the night before and I couldn't go as was changing my hotel and had to check out and check in another one. I told them this and asked for another date. They complained and said it was a bother and then just repeatedly ignored me. I wish I had cancelled and booked with someone else as now I have wasted the money. Feel robbed. Go with an honest tour group.
Response from Host, Aug 2024
Hi,
Sorry that you were sick, we do have the Messages on Chat / Screenshots that we did allow your date change. We did respond. Further you requested another date change, and we could only accomodate for 2:00 p.m. Tour, you did not respond or show up. We did approve your date change. No way were you robbed and you were replied to.
I understand that you are upset, but we were fully helpful, despite the policy you accepted, we made changes for you. The chats are there saved so you can review them. As you see all our guests truly enjoy our Tours. Let us know if you visit again and we will accommodate for sure.
Thank you for understanding.

Our guide was very knowledge and friendly and took some great pics with his GoPro! He took the time to point interesting things out in the water for us and overall it was a great experience. Highly recommend!

Big group of sharks and Stingrays are 100% you can see in shallow water with white sand at the second stop for snorkeling but the first one has a strong current since we have to have a long swim (against the sea wave ) during pass the channel between the two Barreier reefs
Barbara_R, Mar 2024
The trip was nice and long visiting many spots. Coral gardens was the best. The lead guide was good but both guides did things that are not eco-friendly - holding rays (it takes mucous off their skin and hurts them), chumming for sharks and tarpon (not good to feed “wild” animals). Newest guide kept dropping his feet when snorkeling, potentially kicking coral. Need better practices. This was true with everyone we toured with in Belize.
Zan_T, Mar 2024
This tour was amazing. Small group compared to other tours that had 50-60 people! Our tour guides were awesome, very knowledgeable and made the experience extremely fun overall! From feeding eagle rays to seeing a giant manatee, I would 10/10 recommend
Matthew_R, Feb 2024
Guides were amazing. Program was just what we were looking for, 3 solid snorkeling stops and some sight seeing. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Feb 2024
We are happy that you had a good time on our Snorkel Tour. That is always our Goal.
Wayne_H, Feb 2024
The morning trip was deferred to 2;00pm, luckily that still worked for me. The tour was enjoyable, within a three hour period there was snorkeling at three different locations, a stop at stingray beach and a slghting of the little seahorse.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
We are glad you enjoyed your Tour with us.
Rebecca_E, Feb 2024
Amazing time on this tour! We were able to see the reef, snorkel with rays and nurse sharks, and feed some tarpons and birds. It was a unique experience- don't forget to reapply the sunscreen! We all got burned pretty bad! Also, if you aren't sure you will snorkel every time - the second two dives are ten times better than the first so I would skip that one if you are hesitant!
Richard_F, Jan 2024
We had an excellent outing! So many different types of sea creatures and birds spotted! We saw three types of rays, nurse sharks, lionfish, sea urchins, lots of colorful fish, tarpon, moray eel, even a little sea horse! Our captain Chris and first mate Dteven were funny… and awesome. Definitely recommend!
Response from Host, Jan 2024
We are all happy that you enjoyed your Tour with us. It was our pleasure.
Jessica_m, Jul 2023
Brian and Chris were great! Brian showed us the different conchs, explained to us how a sand dollar is made, and was extremely knowledgeable about the reef. Chris made sure we saw sea horses and walked us over to the sting rays. Great fun on our excursion!
Nie_S, Jun 2023
I really enjoyed this tour. Staff was friendly and informative. The tour was just perfect to see everything I wanted in a half day. Will take this tour again my next visit.
Jenine_D, Apr 2023
The guide made underwater noises and his “pet” eel came out to play. The same with sting rays. Lots of colorful and beautiful sea life.
Jill_V, Apr 2023
I was so excited to book this cruise. But I never saw the small print saying we had to find our own transportation to the island. We did not make this trip due to not knowing about needed transportation. Of all the places we stopped I was looking forward to this the most. I received emails after I questioned this. I asked for a refund. No reply. I am very disappointed in your company. This will be the last tour I book with your company. Bad enough that we weren't able to do the tour due to lack of communication. Then to top it off you won't reply about refunding my money. Very poor customer service
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Hi,
Your Refund was granted. Please understand that Viator handles payments, we do not get payments so we could not refund immediately when Viator has your funds.
We are sorry that you did not get to snorkel, we have asked Viator several times to clarify that we are on Caye Caulker, that is where we post our Tour. Apologies, we do hope that Viator will do better and move faster.
Thanks,
GM
Wesley_B, Apr 2023
Poor customer service. No transportation from Port. No refund when asked. Overall big waste of money
Response from Host, Apr 2023
We are located on Caye Caulker, this is where we post our Tour. Viator posts it elsewhere maybe, we have asked them to clarify this many times. Sorry, but this was not our fault. We do apologize for your inconvenience.

Swimming with the sting rays and sharks was unforgettable! We have been in Belize for 10 days and this was by far our favorite tour. Our 14 year old grandson absolutely loved it!
Belynda_S, May 2022
This was an amazing experience. The guides (who’s names I can’t remember regrettably because I’m bad with names) were awesome and made sure we were always safe and had a great time. There were so many nurse sharks and a sting ray swam right up and let me pet it! This was an unforgettable experience, and I’m so glad we did it. If we’re ever in Belize again we will do this tour with this company again for sure!!
