All the things - We had a great full day snorkeling trip with Marvin and André. We learned so much about the reef, reserves, and wildlife. We saw manatees, rays, turtles, sharks, and so much more. We enjoyed lunch and a little respite on Caye Caulker before boarding the boat and circling around to the other side of the island where we fed the tarpons and relaxed with the rays at Iguana Reef Inn. Am I sunburned? Yes. Was it so very worth it? Absolutely! Best day ever for my mermaid heart!

You see everything - We got to see it all! We saw a manatee, several turtles, sting rays, a ton of different fish and a bunch of sharks. The guides were great, super helpful. I was nervous about the sharks but they helped me become comfortable enough to go in and I'm so glad I did! The only downside to the tour was the sargassum but that's just the carribean at this time of year. Overall this excursion was the highlight of our san pedro trip and I highly recommend it!

Best snorkeling trip...ever! - Marvin was a terrific guide and made the day absolutely wonderful. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and took us to some great places to snorkel where we saw sea turtles, nurse sharks, dolphins, beautiful coral, the reef, and all kinds of fish. Our tour included a trip to Caye Caulker where lunch was included and we swam with and fed the stingrays and the tarpons. This was one of the best experiences snorkeling we've ever had and we will definitely book it again and take friends with us, but Marvin really made it a special trip!

Best Belize Marine Tour! - This was the best experience ever and our guide Nick was fantastic and very knowledgeable. We managed to do so many activities including seeing the Hol Chan barrier reef, swimming with manatees as well as nurse sharks, and petting sting rays. Nick helped us find the best spots for snorkeling and seeing sea horses - and when we went to Caye Caulker we had a very tasty lunch. If you are going to Belize you should definitely book this tour, it was a perfect way to get to explore the marine life in the area!

This is a MUST! - I’ve snorkeled all four Hawaiian islands and Sombrero Reef, and this was by far the best snorkeling trip I’ve ever done. From leaving the marina to all the wildlife we saw, the entire experience was incredible. We were a little worried the trip might get canceled because winds were around 18 mph, but the reef is so protected that it ended up being a beautiful and very pleasant day on the water. We saw tons of colorful fish, beautiful coral, stingrays, several sharks at one time, sea turtles, and even a couple of manatees. The guides (Pedro and Andre) were fantastic and made the whole day feel fun, safe, and organized. I highly recommend doing the full-day tour because you get to experience so much more including a traditional lunch on another island, petting stingrays in shallow water, and seeing the cutest little seahorses ever. Truly an unforgettable experience.

We saw it all! - Perfect Day! We saw so much marine life! The boat ride was great and we stopped several places for a full day of adventure! We swam with lots of fish, sea turtles, nurse sharks, sting rays and saw beautiful coral too! Cool stop to have the sting rays swim over you! Seeing Caye Caulker was a great addition to the day and the lunch was excellent! I definitely recommend this day trip!!
