4.00We saw the most amazing sea life. The captain and crew were great. It was a lot of family fun. We would do it again.
Good experience but not great

3.00The crew was very friendly, and took us to 2 different good snorkeling spots on the reef. We saw manta rays and schools of beautiful fish! A couple of things though were not ideal. They arrived 45 minutes late to the pickup spot, with no communication about what was happening, but hey, that is the Caribbean life, I get it. However they did not extend the excursion time, so we only got 3 hours instead of 4 hours. Then the boat ride back to Hopkins was a 30 minute high-speed, bone-jarring ride across the channel, which was not enjoyable. So next time I think I would book somewhere else.
Our guides Medz and Theo...

5.00Our guides Medz and Theo were amazing. Since we were traveling with our toddler they tailored the experience so we could all enjoy our time out on the water. My toddler got some beach time while mom and dad took turns snorkeling with Theo. The guides surprised us with cold water and banana bread as we were heading back. After a morning of sun and water it really hit the spot.
Out of this world great!

5.00It was excellent. Our two guides were very experienced. They did everything for us to feel safe. They did a short training for those who never snorkeled before. One of the guides was in the water with us to show and tell about undersea world. And this was the world’s biggest living coral reef. Only in Belize.
