Shoutout to Marvin and Kyle!! - We went snorkeling with our guides Marvin and Kyle. They took the time to go through procedures and rules, while also keeping the excursion light and funny with their jokes. They both had vast knowledge of marine life, pointing out unique fish and plant life while underwater. This excursion was so much more than a snorkeling trip. Marvin and Kyle took us to feed tarpons, look for manatees, and more. Both guides double checked our equipment, took extra precautions with young children on the trip, and cut up fresh fruit for us to snack on. The full day excursion included lunch as well. For lunch, we stopped in Caye Caulker for a few hours and got to explore on land as well. This excursion— with the attention to safety, fun, and exploration— was the best one I’ve done.

A “must do” if you are on the island! - It was an awesome day of fun snorkeling. Our guides were very knowledgeable and caring to everyone’s needs. Experiencing all the beauty underwater was incredible. A fun treat was feeding the tarpons and seeing seahorse!

Don’t hesitate! Book now! - Where do I start? My partner and I opted for the fishing and snorkeling full day excursion. Ridge and reef assigned us Marvin as our guide and wow was he a blessing. We started out the day catching some sardines along the shore for bait. We then headed out to an area where the barracudas were biting all morning! Marvin was an amazing teacher and had a ton of patience with us newbies, and it’s important everyone that does this tour has the same amount of patience. We were able to catch 3 barracudas within an hour or so! Lucky day according to Marvin. Then headed out to a different area where my partner was able to catch some grouper and snapper as well. After the fishing portion we went over to swim with the sharks and with all the fish we were able to catch earlier, they were flocking to our boat for lunch. Marvin kept them well fed with some scraps so we were able to be up close and personal with them. During that time, Marvin was also prepping our beach bbq. He skinned and prepped the fish right on the boat, along with some fresh veggies and other things. He then took us over to a private beach to cook our catches right there over an open fire. I must say fish will never taste the same ever again. Marvin grilled the fish with some veggies, fried the other half, scalloped some potatoes and plantains with cheese, and that was a meal we will never forget. Be sure to bring your insect repellent with you, because this area is flooded with them. But again, Marvin being the hero that he is, lit a fire on the side for us to keep most of them away. After cleaning up, we were off the holchin for more snorkeling. Marvin hopped right into the water with us to guide us on our snorkeling adventure and man were we in luck! We saw a sea turtle, octopus, eels, and so much more. Marvin pointed out every single species of fish and coral and kept us informed on each of their name. I cannot recommend this company enough! Please make sure to request Marvin if you are doing a fishing excursion, you will not be disappointed! Thanks Marvin!

Solo adventure - My excursion with Ridge & Reef was amazing! I did the full day trip and wasn’t disappointed. The water was crystal clear and the diversity of marine life was incredible. I got to swim with a variety of fish, sea turtles, rays, and nurse sharks. My guides Abraham and Danny were very knowledgeable and personable as well. They kept everyone entertained. We stopped in Caye Caulker for lunch and to explore. It was an enjoyable experience. When I visit Belize again I will definitely book with Ridge & Reef.

Promises made, not kept - They promised underwater photos taken by the guide (and we tipped $100 for the effort) but never received any photos!
