Awesome tour - We really enjoyed our trip. The snorkeling was awesome and the tour guys were fantastic. We definitely recommend this tour. You can bring your own equipment, but we used theirs, and it worked really well. We had a six-year-old with us, and he really enjoyed the experience as well. They helped to make sure that he was safe and had a fun time snorkeling.

Fun snorkeling day trip! - We had a great snorkeling trip with Splash. Deuce was a very knowledgeable guide pointing out lots of fish and coral as we snorkeled. They provided all of the snorkel gear, lunch on the island was good, and booking the trip online was super easy.

Marine Life is Magnificent! - Splash Dive Center took us out to Laughing Bird Caye. What a special day! Our guide was personable and very informative. He taught us all about the fish, coral, plants, and other marine life. He knew a ton of info and shared so much with us. We saw so many types of critters! The fish were gorgeous. The reef sharks and nurse sharks were swimming along, not bothering anyone. The water was spectacular! It was a magical day!

Have snorkled many places but this experience today surpasses all! - The reef and underwater life I saw today was like out of National Geographic. The experience was enhanced by the expertise of our leader Deuce and his kind, caring personality. He was passionate about his work and just a fun guy. What a great day I will never forget! Do it!

Family Snorkel Experience - Wonderful family excursion! Our ages range from 5 to 78 and everyone had fun. Great opportunity to get out on the water and explore the reef. My daughter was thrilled we saw sharks! The excursion was well organized and we had a delicious lunch. We will definitely do this again when we return to the area as there will always be something new to see.

Best snorkeling/diving experience in Belize - 10/10 experience! The island we were taken to was breathtaking with clear blue water and white sands. The lunch provided was filling and delicious. The staff were funny, friendly and knowledgeable making sure to engage with guests and showcasing their extensive knowledge of the sea life! Would book with this company again! Got to see nurse sharks which was a plus!

MUST TRY!! - Spent the past week in Belize and went on 2 excursions with Splash. The laughing Bird snorkelling experience was such a blast and the guides were so knowledgeable and funny! The whole crew made sure we all knew what was happening and explained everything to us ensuring we were on the same page. If you’re ever in Belize this is a MUST TRY experience! The atmosphere was also really fun and all the other tourists were super friendly. The boat ride was about 45 minutes but flew by.

Experience A National Park In Belize - A chance to experience a National Park in Belize. We didn’t see as many fish that we expected to see, but the variety of corals were nice . The tour company provided the snorkeling equipment, towels, water and a typical Belizean lunch. We were pleased with their performance.
