5.00Johnny and Kyle were awesome and very helpful! They showed us some very cool spots! Swam with all kind of fish, stingrays, and even nursery sharks. The whole trip was a little over 3 hours, and there was only one other couple with us. The weather was beautiful and sunny so make sure to cover up as much as possible and wear lots of sunscreen when not in the water! The water is also a perfect temperature! Not too warm and not too cold! Pretty good value for the time spent in the water overall! Good for experienced/beginner snorkelers!
Not as advertised

2.00When I arrived, I was ushered to a different provider for a much later tour. This operator did not provide water, drinks, nor photos as the tour I booked stated. The original tour guide assured me it would be the same experience, but it certainly felt like a downgrade. I did get to go out and snorkel, swim with rays, and feed the tarpon, but the amenities as promised were not provided.
Great experience!!

5.00My wife and I booked the 3 hour snorkeling trip and had a great time. Bob Dylan, Rob and the other guy were a lot of fun and knowledgable. There were 10 people on the boat so not too crowded and we split up into 2 groups of 5 to do the guided tour. We had a great time and will book with them again when we come back!!!!
Half day snorkelling tour

5.00I booked the half day snorkelling trip for the afternoon this was perfect for my family as I wasn’t a strong swimmer. The guys were great in helping me with my mask and float ring which we all took in the end makes swimming over the reef a lot easier. Well organised put us into two groups with a guide each them lots of free time. I watched the nurse sharks from on the boat and got lots of great pics . Fresh fruit and rum punch in the break was lovely. Half day was perfect as it’s quite exhausting if new to snorkelling we really enjoyed our trip and would 100% recommend. Contact the office direct it’s cheaper than get your guide and the the response was super fast Forgot to mention the tarpon feeding at the end was really good !
We’ll be back!

5.00We had a blast with Johnny and the gang. There were seven of us total, and they took such good care of us. They were all very knowledgeable of the sea life and the marine reserve that we were snorkeling in. They kept the vibes really high and made us feel comfortable and at home. Like Johnny says we’re not friends or family.
Perfect trip

5.00So much fun and the perfect amount of time. The rest of the tours were 8-9 hours long while we just wanted part of the day swimming in blue water.
Fun and beautiful snorkel trip!

5.00Great experience, we booked the day before, the guide and the captain showed up on time, the group was small, they know the area very well and we got to see turtles, sharks, stingrays, tarpons, barracudas, all kinds of other fish, and the beautiful coral reef. I went with my daughter, it was her first time snorkeling and they were very helpful teaching her as well
Thanks to John

A Once in a Lifetime Un-Belize-able Experience

5.00This was by far our favorite excursion and best snorkeling experiences ever! We opted to do the private pickup for our small group of 6…so worth the extra money yet still more reasonable than cruise options. John picked us up in port and a 45 minute ride later over the beautiful blue waters we were at the island of Caye Cauker versus a crowed expensive water taxi. Our tour guides included Captain Mike, son Mikey, and dad Rob. This modest family own business took excellent care of our family and provided tons of knowledge about Belize and the reef. We saw a sea turtle, sting rays including a large eagle ray, schools of fish, a large grouper, flounder , an eel, conchs, starfish, some Barracuda, sharks, and tons of beautiful coral. Afterwards we got lunch at a local spot on the island and hand fed tarpon. What an experience…I would give it 10 stars if possible and can’t wait to return!!!
