Green moray eel are the most popular animals to spot while diving in Belize, Snorkeling with green moray eels is so unique because it is very rare when you meet a moray eel that is friendly and sociable because they’re not the friendliest sea creatures around so for you to get a chance to go snorkeling with them. At the reserve area that we go snorkeling with them and have the most friendliest moray eel. On this tour guest’s will be able to o take some very cool pictures and videos of them.These animals uses their sense of smell to catch their prey.

Wonderful day - Wonderful snorkeling and crew. We had a great deal of snorkeling time as well as time to have lunch and relax. They were wonderful at accommodating my spouses wheelchair. The only drawback was the lack of transportation back to the port. However it was a short walk.

Best excursion of our week! - This was our best snorkeling excursion of the week. Stacy and the crew knew where to look for the coral, eels, sting rays and sharks. We also visited the tarpons. Great adventure and I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience! - We booked this excursion through Viator since the snorkeling excursion through our cruise line was booked. We had an incredible time. Their representative met us outside the cruise terminal and walked us to the snorkeling boat. We then took the boat to a small island where we changed clothes, used the restroom and pre-ordered lunch. The snorkeling consisted of 2 stops. The first stop was to see sting rays and razor sharks - this was beyond cool. There were dozens of them - and just a few feet below the surface of the water. You can stand up in the water if you so desire - however, if you're squeamish, you may not want to as I had more than one brush against my feet. The second stop was pretty - although you do have to swim out quite a bit to get to the reef - this isn't the fault of the tour company, its just that the water is fairly shallow, so they can't get too close to the reef for fear of damaging the coral. So, you hop off the boat and swim quite a bit to get to the actual reef. After the snorkeling was finished, we went back to the island for lunch (which is not included in the price of the trip). The food was excellent. I appreciated that we pre-ordered, which made it easier once we got back to shore.

Unbelizeable - Due to the mixed reviews, we were initially a bit apprehensive about booking this tour, but it turned out to be a perfect choice. We were picked up on time and brought to the pier. The ride to Key Caulker is somewhat longish but the crew gave us life vests to sit on when they noticed we were starting to be uncomfortable. When we reached the island, we got to feed a few carpons and then placed our lunch orders. The first snorkel stop was ok. Personally, I think we would have been better off snorkeling without fins and if you have experienced snorkeling in the Carribean or the Red Sea, you will be slightly disappointed at the „coral garden“. However, the waters have an unbelievable turquoise color and it’s just amazing to be out there. Plus, the real highlight is, of course, the shark alley. I normally don’t agree with feeding wild life but shark tourism brings in a lot of revenue and therefore ensures protection of the sharks. Our group didn’t touch the animals, so I don’t have any moral qualms about going on the tour. It was simply an unbelizable experience, getting to see this many nurse sharks and especially the sting rays. I will never forget it. Overall, I think the time spent in the water was just right. We then headed back to the split for 75min of beach time… truly a stunning location. Everyone in our group seemed to be overjoyed. If I were to be nitpicky, I’d say that one slice of pineapple per person doesn’t necessarily deserve to be described as „fruits“, but it’s ok; the punch was yummy at least. The ride back was also an experience of its own…with the lowhanging clouds, it felt like we were driving straight into the heavens. I have booked hundreds of trips over the past 5 years on Viator and this was one of the best. Thanks again to the entire crew.

Awesome Snorkling and more! - This was a great Snorkling experience. There were only 9 folks in our group. We snorkeled the reef, then got in the shallows with the sting rays and the sharks and then got to hand feed the tarpon. I have snorkeled often but it was my three 15 year old grand daughters first time and they said it was their favorite part of the whole cruise.

Experience of a lifetime!! DO IT!! - All my pictures were upside down… ooops. But we had the BEST time. I think I’ve got all the names…Nelson, Irv, Kanye, Ali and captain Patrick. They took care of everyone, made sure everyone has the experience they expected and then some. All of the other employees were amazing as well. The driver that took us there and back was awesome too!! This is a must do in Belize!! Not one complaint!!

Awesome experience!! - We really enjoyed this experience. Ally made it very fun and was very informative about the area and what we would be doing. The boat ride was very long but so many neat things to see along the way. Swimming with the rays and sharks was very exciting. I was scared at first but after a while, it became comfortable to swim with them. The beach restaurant was so good. The jerk chicken was amazing. We had a chance to shop a bit on Caye Caulker and then one more stop to feed the tarpon. What an incredible day we had. Thank you!

Good Cruise Excursion - Prepare to spend quite a bit of time before getting to the snorkeling activities. Be sure to pre-order lunch to save time after. The kids enjoyed the tarpon feeding and the coral was beautiful. Not a lot of fish to be seen. Overall good tour/experience for a cruise excursion.

Stingrays & sharks were Great , snorkeling not so much. - Overall the tour and the guides were great. First stop was the stingrays and sharks. This was amazing! Second stop was for snorkeling the barrier reef. I was a little disappointed there were not more colorful fish in this area. Saw a few fish but not what expected. The experience was still good.
