5.00The tour was absolutely incredible, an unforgettable experience from start to finish! I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone visiting the area. It was hands down one of the highlights of our trip. Our tour guide was not only friendly and professional but also incredibly knowledgeable. They shared so much fascinating information about the marine life, the reef, and the local ecosystem, which made the entire experience even more meaningful. The best part? We got to swim with sharks, turtles, and stingrays! It was truly surreal to be in the water with such amazing creatures. Everything felt safe and well-organized, so we could really relax and enjoy the adventure. If you’re looking for a unique and memorable way to explore the natural beauty of Belize, this tour is a must. We’ll be talking about it for years to come. Thank you for an amazing day!

5.00We sailed to the Hol Chan Marine Reserve on the Sirena Azul for snorkeling and a chance to swim with nurse sharks. The trip was awesome. We had a great guide, Edwin, who was very kind, humorous, and very informative. He took the time to ensure he interacted with all of the guests on the boat. During the snorkeling, he pointed out and named everything we saw. The swim with the sharks was great. It was so amazing being just a few feet away from them. I would highly recommend this to anyone who in San Pedro.
Great sail and snorkel
