5.00Booked a trip to Laughing Bird Caye in Placencia through Captain Jaks. So August, when we booked, would be considered the slow season so we pretty much had the entire island to ourselves. Our guides, Nick and Doyle were absolutely amazing. We will be doing this trip again for sure. We live here in Belize and as locals couldn’t ask for anything better we also had two guests from England with us and they loved it too! Definitely recommend these guys. They were absolutely spot on. Captain Jaks is a top-notch outfit for sure. I’m thinking we are going to do their monkey river tour next. Tourists and Locals check these guys out.
Fantastic Experience!

5.00Great experience at Laughing Bird Caye! Just being on the caye itself was beautiful, and snorkeling through a protected barrier reef was breathtaking. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the reef and all the fish, and made sure everyone was having a good experience and learning.
Must do snorkeling at Laughing Bird Caye with Captain Jaks!

5.00Wonderful half day snorkeling experience with our family of 5 adults. George/Captain and our guide/Alan made the morning exciting on the shores of laughing bird caye pointing out sea life including lobster, stingrays and a manatee in the wild. Would definitely recommend Captain Jaks if you are visiting Placencia in the beautiful country of Belize.

5.00Best snorkeling experience. We saw sharks, so many different types of fish, and conches. The guide was very knowledgeable and helped my sister who isn’t the most comfortable snorkeling. Great experience.
Captain Jak's is the best of Belize

5.00Jamal and Captain Tony were the best! What a perfect day on the water, what a value. Jamal was super informative and the day was well paced, we did the full day not half day and it was worth it. Nice and easy, and we had the caye to ourselves in the afternoon. Stupid good, I couldn't possibly recommend this any more highly. No notes.
Amazing

5.00Amazing Snorkeling Experience at Laughing Bird Caye Island! I had an unforgettable time with Captain Jak’s Divers, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience—especially thanks to Kyle. As someone who was a bit nervous about snorkeling, Kyle went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and confident in the water. He was patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly encouraging throughout the trip. Laughing Bird Island is absolutely stunning, and Kyle made sure I got to see the best spots. He pointed out marine life I would have completely missed on my own and even took the time to explain what we were seeing. His enthusiasm and passion for the ocean were contagious and made the whole adventure that much more enjoyable. If you’re considering snorkeling or diving in the area, I highly recommend Captain Jak’s Divers and definitely ask for Kyle!
Wonderful experience

5.00The staff on our tour were absolutely amazing! They snorkled with us and helped point out a variety of fish, including lobsters, sharks, and tropical fish that we would not have seen without them pointing them out. Many were hiding in reefs. We had a family group and many who never snorkled before. The guides took them under their wing and helped them feel comfortable snorkling. For lunch, they would not let us take care of our own plates. They insisted that we were there as guests and they would come around and take care of our plates. So wonderful!!! Would strongly recommend!

5.00Had an amazing time snorkeling. Saw many different animals underwater including sharks, tropical fish, crab, lobsters, and barracuda. Our tour guide Bryan was fantastic he would point out certain fish for us and come up and tell us the name of them. He would also be on the look out for as much wildlife he could find.
Highly recommend!

5.00Nick, our guide, was excellent. Very knowledgeable about all the fish and coral we saw. He took us snorkeling on both sides of the island and at no point did we feel rushed. The lunch on the beach was delicious. Would definitely do another tour with Captain Jak’s next time we are in Placencia.
