We love the natural beauty our country has to offer and want to share it in a fun-filled sustainable way. We'll take you to explore 7 epic snorkel stops; turtles, manatees, a ship wreck, sharks and rays, pristine corals at Hol Chan, the coral gardens and two sight seeing sights around Caye Caulker. After this tour you'll check so many things off of your bucket list and you'll learn so much about the Caribbean sea and we take Free GoPro photos/videos for you. Group size per boat is usually 4-10 people the most.

We do not use single-use plastics on board our boats, we do not touch or feed the marine life and we hire experienced, energetic guides to bring you the best experience there is to offer. We also give back a percentage of our profits to the local community at the end of the year to support a number of community projects.

***This tour is not for cruise ship passengers, we do not meet in Belize City which makes this tour not compatible with the cruise ship time frame.***

My favorite snorkeling experience yet! I’ve never been to Caye Caulker, but I felt that I saw the best of what the area’s snorkeling has to offer - we got in the water 6 times (the manatee stop is not guaranteed, and unfortunately he was hiding my day), and each stop was unique from the last. We saw so many wonderful forms of sea life, including sea turtles, nurse sharks, eagle rays, manta rays, and a wide variety of fish. My guides, Josh and Chris, did a great job explaining what we were seeing and highlighting eco-friendly approaches to the reef and surrounding wildlife. It’s not a party snorkel, but it’s good vibes, and I loved the lunch provided. Be warned it’s small boat with little shade, so I’d highly recommend a rash guard shirt if you’re pale like me. You can reapply, but you’re going to get wet when the boat gets going anyways, so be prepared.

Chris and Josh were fantastic - they were both engaging and funny and taught us a lot about the reefs, the wildlife, and Belize. I particularly enjoyed the guided portions where they were able to point out eel, lobsters, and types of fish that I would have never seen or known about on my own. Overall it was a 10/10 day and would recommend to anyone.
Amazing snorkelling

Amazing experience! Fantastic staff on the boat and great atmosphere. Very well guided and we were able to see amazing sea life! Knowing that they are conservationists as much as for tourism was also great to see!

Loved my experience snorkeling for the day with Salt Life Eco Tours! Elvis & Jamal were fantastic guides - fun, helpful, informative. I hadn’t snorkeled in probably 20 years and they were sure to provide some tips & that I had a mask, etc that fit. Really love that this company doesn’t feed the animals but we were still able to see everything! I signed up pretty last minute and was just doing a day trip from Belize City to Caye Caulker. The process was seamless & everyone at Salt Life was really helpful - even when I showed up a little late due to ferry timing. Would highly recommend booking with Salt Life for your snorkeling experience!
Great all round experience

What an amazing day! Evo Salt Tours were great, our guides Loki and Josh were incredible - very knowledgeable, completely fun and mindful of maintaining a pristine reef. We went see the tarpon, coral gardens, Hol Chan, shark alley, the shipwreck among other awesome stops. Hol Chan and shark alley are not to be missed! We also had a delicious lunch and loved that they go pro’d shots while snorkeling. This snorkel adventure day was the highlight of our trip.
Beautiful exciting day

Chris and Anthony have given us a fantastic day. We have been snorkeling among basking turtles and nurse sharks. Sympathetic guests with a lot of humor.
