Adventure of a lifetime!! - We had an extraordinary time with Wicked Adventures! It was the most impressive service we’ve had on a vacation, hence the long review. There is no way we would have had such an incredible time if it was not for this company. Most of the tour companies will offer similar experiences. However, our tour guides always went above and beyond. Our guides were Alex and Jhoan. It was really first-rate service. I cannot possibly list out all the extra things they did for us to make the trip magical. They were young, energetic, positive and funny, and they always made my young daughters feel safe and at ease. The constant positivity, friendliness, and energy brought so much fun to the trip. They were able to help my 77-year-old mother in and out of the boat and pull her around on the snorkel trips. They were so knowledgeable. They could find anything in the water from wildlife to shipwrecks. They found beautiful seashells for my mother. They would dive down deep for long periods of time and find all kinds of underwater life, from eels to seahorses, to barracuda. They always seemed to know when I wish I could have some footage of the family and they would take my GoPro and swim around us. They were always flexible, doing whatever we wanted to do. When we wanted to change our plans and go back to Hol Chan and to feed the sharks, they were able to do it. Everywhere we went, people knew them, and they were able to quickly get chum for the sharks. They were always responsive to chats and emails. I have an email chain over 60 emails long (because I’m very particular)! They did so many other things, but I don’t want to list them all. I’m sure every adventure is different. But I would not want to go out without them. We did four excursions with them which included Hol Chan, rays, sharks, finding a manatee, finding a turtle, coral gardens, Mexico rocks, Caye Caulker, visiting two shipwrecks, a cave where cold fresh water was coming up, night snorkeling, and feeding tarpons. Their boats were very clean and well-maintained. Some of our trips we were on their larger boat. A couple of times we were on their smaller boat, but it was still quite spacious for the five of us.

Learned so much and so fun - We went on a full day tour of snorkeling (Shark Ray Alley and Hol Chan), Caye Caulker, manatee spotting and a few other activities. It was well worth it to go with these guides. Sheldon took us out and he gave us a ton of history about the island and all of the spots we hit. I had taken the same tour with a different operator the previous year and though we saw the same attractions, we didn’t learn anything about the culture of the island or the geography. It added a lot to the tour. I recommend these guys.

Personalized and Fantastic - Hard to summarize how great these guides are, but I'll try! This is our 2nd time booking w/ Wicked Adventures of Belize; the first was 2020 and this one was just as amazing as the last! Our first time doing Hol Chan, we were a little nervous, but Alex & Pancho put us at ease and led us every step of the way! We saw creatures and coral we've never seen before and Pancho knew EVERY SINGLE ONE! He took the time to point out unique features or marine life and gave us history and cultural background information as well. As a self-defined nerd, I loved it- Highly recommend this company and ALL their staff, we love seeing them each time we visit and communication via email or other channel is extremely responsive and can adjust if weather had any impact on the day's schedule. Thanks, again, guys! We can't wait to book another trip w/ you, SOON! On our trip was saw Hol Chan, Shark Alley/Sting Rays, and were lucky enough to spot a turtle, manatee, and hand fed the tarpon and visited the protected Seahorse area on Caye Caulker. So worth the whole day of events!

UnBelizeable! - We found Wicked Adventures of Belize through TripAdvisor and decided to give them a try. We were not disappointed. We liked the idea the tour was private and run by locals who knew the waters around Ambergris well. We chose the "Snorkel Hol Chan Shark Ray Alley and Caye Caulker Manatee Spotting" and had an incredible day with Pancho at the helm and Ricardo as First Mate. Pancho knew exactly where the action was and took us directly to a beautiful school of sharks for our first snorkel dive of the day. We spent a good amount of time swimming with the sharks before heading over for a dive with rays - a lot of rays. Spectacular. Adventuring onward we proceeded to a reef where a huge manatee was padding about on the seabed. Bizarre looking animal. Pre historic. Really cool. We were fairly worn out and headed over to Caye Caulker for a great lunch of fresh caught whole snapper and a walk through town. On the way back Pancho showed us a sunken barge - the "Beer Barge" which sank some years back - packed with beer. Really interesting. It has become a reef with loads of sea life living on and in its hold. The beer is long gone. Pancho claims to have drank a good share of it and I believe him. Finally, we stopped to feed Tarpon before heading back to Ambergris. This was a spectacular day. We liked it so much we booked a half day for a tour of Mexico Rocks and a few secret spots known only to the locals.
