My husband and I went to Hopkins, Belize for our honeymoon and honestly our trip would NOT have been what it was without “Get To Know Belize Adventures”! Their service is 5 star! They picked us up from the airport and dropped us off. All of the excursions we participated in through them were unforgettable. We LOVED our drivers Shane and Dirk! We had a blast with Big G and Jeff when we went on our fishing and snorkeling trip. We loved exploring the jungle through hiking, rappelling, and zip lining with Kevin and Victor. We throughly enjoyed going to the Mayan ruins and cave tubing! And most memorable of all will be our Lion Fish Hunt with Kieran and Medz! We also had a golf cart with them all week so we could go wherever we needed to on our own time. Thank you so much Get To Know Belize Adventures for the incredible memories and 5 star service!

We had an amazing day with Meds and Alden reef fishing and snorkel "hunting". They knew exactly where to find a spot to make sure everyone caught something - Barucuda and snapper were everywhere! But the most fun was watching my son catch lobsters with the Hawaiian sling! Alden was a perfect guide and pointed out all the beauty of the reef. The guys were not only expert fishermen, but they were pretty darn good cooks too. Lunch of grilled lobster and fresh ceviche was NEXT LEVEL! The trip was exactly what you imagine from an adventure in Belize. Great family-owned company who take the time to make sure you have the perfect trip. Don't miss it!

So, I booked through fishing booker and the boat and captn. were sub par- Josie came to our rescue as we already booked our golf cart for the week with them. She saved our vacation with our kids by making a trip with Medz and Jeff for fishing and snorkeling. It was a wonderful experience. They took us to South Caye- a preserve, and cooked fish we caught. Medz and Jeff are some of the best cooks I have had. The guys were wonderful- funny and genuinely eager to do the best they could. This is one of the best tours we have gone on in Belize.

EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME!!!! I am not a swimmer but somehow I swam like a mermaid while snorkeling and also believe I saw Dory in the water…kidding kidding…It was truly a beautiful and all around fun and beautiful experience that Theodore and Big Grouper helped us to have!! I felt safe enough to go into the water after they practice me with us and explained things. AMAZING!!!! And it didn’t even end there. We speared for our food, well they did and we had a picnic. Delicious!!!!

This is a locally owned tour company that hire locals who are professional, well trained, and know the local area and culture well. I like that if others join your tour they give you a discount, which is very fair. We went on 3 of their tours and all were great: the Jaguar sanctuary hike, the all day snorkel and fresh-caught lunch, and the ATM tour. I wish we could afford to do them all. It feels good to support the local businesses.
Lucky day of fishing and great snorkeling

My only other deep sea fishing experience was a captain that stopped the boat, put live bait on the line, taught us how to cast and reel in fish. This experience was VERY different. The boat was constantly moving. The crew used lures. They cast four lines, making sure they didn't cross, and as soon as we saw a line tug, we all yelled "FISH!!" and one person would jump to the fishing pole that was sitting in one of four holders and they'd start reeling in the fish. The crew handled removing the fish. It was basically a one-at-a-time kind of fishing experience. All six of us took turns, waiting for the next line to tug. Everyone got 3-5 opportunities to reel in a fish over the ~2 hours of fishing. We were lucky and caught/kept about 15 fish - mainly barracuda and yellow-tail snapper. The small ones were tossed back into the water and we had a few really good battles where the fish won. All in all, a ton of fun and a lucky day of fishing (some guests mentioned that they'd done similar trips elsewhere and caught only 1 fish the whole day). The snorkeling was great. We saw more variety of fish, sea cucumber, coral, and sting rays snorkeling than when we did a scuba dive a few days earlier. Our snorkel instructor was a true local guide, stopping to point out and name different varieties of ocean life. Learning while viewing real-time made it a much more enjoyable experience. Lunch was rice, beans, salad, grilled chicken and soda/water. Traditional local fare. Tasty. There are basic bathrooms on the island, none on the boat, (toilets didn't reliably flush). A few recommendations: - If you feel you have faulty equipment, speak up. I was initially given flippers that had a tear in the heal that would have likely fallen off in the water. I said something on land and they immediately replaced them. I had (what I believe to be) a leaky snorkel, which I didn't know until I tried to use it. I should have said something because it really detracted from my snorkeling experience, but there were no extras on the boat, so I sucked it up (literally sucking in ocean water every 3 breaths). Everyone else's equipment was fine. Maybe it was user error. - Always ask for soap in your mask to prevent fogging before you go into the water. The crew didn't always remember to offer. It makes a huge difference. - Take motion sickness medicine if you think you might get seasick. Better safe than sorry. They didn't offer any on the day we went, which was windy and rough waters. It took over an hour of slamming surf boating to get to our first fishing destination. I'm so glad I took some 20 min before left. - Don't forget to put sunscreen on the back of your legs! The boat had some covering and you could switch sides to find shade most of the time were were moving. - If you have sensitive feet, wear water shoes for transferring from the boat to the island shore where you have lunch and downtime. There's a short span of crushed shells that can be a bit uncomfortable for those without leathered foot soles. - No need to bring water. They provided a cooler of bottled water and served cold watermelon on the boat. I would definitely recommend this tour. I gave 4 out of 5 stars because I felt the crew could have been a bit more engaging. The snorkel instructor was GREAT, but otherwise, the crew generally kept to themselves unless actively engaged by a guest. They were all nice and polite, but quiet. If it wasn't for a few talkative guests, it would have been a very quiet day on the boat. A little more excitement by the crew and it would have been a 5-star experience.
Fun day!

Snorkeling with Jamar and Jeff was a highlight of my time in Belize. Jamar was very knowledgable and took the time to identify each fish or type of coral. The water was crystal clear and warm, lunch was good, and the boat ride was fun. I highly recommend this company and this tour.
