Snorkel with some fishy friends

5.00This was an outstanding experience and value. Captain Randy and Jennilita were welcoming and competent hosts. Their equipment and the boat are in excellent shape. They had a full day of stops laid out for us, including Hol Chan and Shark Alley, both of which were exhilarating. But they also included visits to two other snorkeling sites and then tarpon and frigate bird feeding sites. Along the way they provided an excellent lunch, plenty of water and soda, and a fruit snack. I was especially appreciative that Captain Randy took personal care of my partner who is not a strong swimmer and has never snorkeled before. She had the time of her life. I highly recommend this tour. We'll do it again when we can!
This was our first time...

5.00This was our first time snorkeling and the tour guides made sure we were comfortable and safe! Janellie, Brian, and KJ were so kind and made sure to point out many fish that we would have missed otherwise. I'd highly recommend this tour!
Phenomenal, Cares for the Reef

5.00Dane, everyone at the business, and everyone on boat did a perfect job. All my questions were answered when I was planning my trip. When I checked in they made me feel like everything was taken care of. On the boat Dane and the crew took us to several spots where we could see the wildlife we wanted. They explained everything thoroughly, spotted and named different fish for us. Most importantly they clearly have a significant amount of respect for the value of the reef and all its creatures. This is a business worth choosing.
Great snorkeling experience

5.00My husband and I spent a day with Nauti Time Tours on the Hol Chan Reserve. They curated a perfect trip starting with a visit to section A of the reserve where we saw a nurse shark, gorgeous sea turtle, several large rays, and lots of coral. From there, we visited my favorite spot—Shark Ray Alley—where nurse sharks engulfed us. They were so beautiful. After lunch on the boat, we snorkeled over a wrecked tug boat and then ended the open water adventure over a reef closer to Caye Caulker where we’d hoped to see manatees. Sadly, we couldn’t find any. I figured our tour was over, but wait! There’s more! Brian, our guide, made a stop at the tarpon center and taught us how to feed the huge creatures. We laughed with glee as the monsters jumped out of the water to take sardines right from our hands. If that wasn’t enough, he then showed us how to feed sardines to birds as the birds flew right above us. By the end of our time together, everyone in the group had challenged themselves to participate in every part of the adventure. But, wait! There’s still more! He sent us ALL the pictures he took of the day… at no charge! Highly recommended!!!
Highly recommend!

5.00Oh, my goodness these folks are fabulous at what they do! We had two experienced snorkelers and two beginner adults. Their office is a few steps from the water taxi docks. They outfitted us with quality gear and a nice boat with two wonderful guides - Randy and Brian. First we fed the Tarpon which is a hoot. Brian was in the water with us snorkeling and Randy spent some time helping one of us who was having difficulty. The all-inclusive HolChan snorkel tour is VERY worth doing and we swam with turtles, Manatee, and nurse sharks. Brian took photos and videos which were uploaded for our access within a few hours of the trip and are truly special. This is a company to book!
Great Tour and Staff !!

5.00Such an awesome snorkeling experience with Nauti time tours ! The crew was super friendly, professional, and very well organized, which made the whole trip smooth and fun from start to finish. The snorkeling spots were beautiful and the vibe on the boat was great. We would have loved a little more time in the water, but honestly the overall experience was fantastic. Highly recommend this team if you’re snorkeling in Caye Caulker , we’d do it again in a heartbeat! Thank you to both Randy and Carlos for the great experience,
Couldn’t have been better
