Fun for all - A great experience led by our very capable snorkel guide Alday. We especially appreciated how he towed our tired 10-year-old on the safety ring for the last half of the Marine Reserve tour. The highlight for most of us, however, was Shark Ray Alley. It didn't take much energy just to swim around the boat where the sharks were being fed. We were a group of nine, ranging in age from 10 to 81, and we all enjoyed the tour very much.

Incredible Snorkeling Adventure – Amazing Guide & Unforgettable Experience! - Our snorkeling excursion to Hol Chan and Shark Ray Alley was absolutely amazing! Gabi picked our family up right from the dock at our house, which made everything so easy and convenient. From the start, he was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, making sure everyone felt comfortable and had a great time.
Swimming with the nurse sharks was an unforgettable experience—exciting, unique, and something we’ll always remember! Gabi’s expertise and enthusiasm made the trip even more special, ensuring we didn’t miss a thing. If you’re looking for a top-notch snorkeling tour in Belize, this is it! Highly recommend!

Great full day tour of barrier reef area locations. - This was a great 7 hour tour, including numerous snorkeling stops, and commentary from very experienced guides at Ridge & Reef. Lunch and shopping on Caye Caulker was also fun. Many highlights during the day, including snorkeling at the second biggest barrier reef in the world; swimming with the nurse sharks, sting rays and miscellaneous fish; seeing a real seahorse (!?!); and having a tarpon fly out of that water in a millisecond to snatch a sardine dangling from my hand. A great day!!

Fantastic snorkeling experience - Everyone at Ambergris was great! Our guides were Kayson, Manny, Danny, and Choco. All were a lot of fun and did a great job of ensuring we got to see as many amazing sights at both of our stops. They also were really patient with some of the guests who had small children, as the sea was rougher than normal due to high wind speeds. The entire experience felt incredibly safe, but was still a lot of fun. Our group saw turtles, rays, huge numbers of fish, eels, and of course lots and lots of nurse sharks. I won't ding them for not being able to get a Dolphin to show up :)
All in all a great experience and one I'd recommend to all different group types.

Exceptional Experience! - This was an amazing half day experience! Our guides were friendly and knowledgeable, and added a great deal of humor to the excursion. One guide stuck with my 80 year old dad the entire time, making sure he had a wonderful experience while still feeling steady and safe. We saw so many varieties of sea life amid the beautiful coral reef, including nurse sharks, rays, a barracuda, a sea turtle, starfish, and more! I would highly recommend this tour!

Saw lots of cool sealife - Enjoyed the snorkeling at Hol Chsn and shark ray alley. Abundance of sealife including dolphins and all the expected colorful stripeys. Seaturtles and so much giant sized coral! Was concerned it might rip my leg open, had to be careful meandering around it. The guides were great, no complaints. It was a bit more “Exercise” than I experienced in hawaii, as the powerful waters pull you in directions your not allowed to go, so must do some actual swimming (although you have a flotation device attached to you so completely safe). Do it you won’t regret it!
