Marvin is an outstanding guide

4.00We did 3 tours starting with the full day Hol Chan, Shark Alley, Coral Gardens and Caye Cauker. While the content of the tour was good our boat was at full capacity with 16 people and they guides focused on logistics for each location and did not provide a tour experience. The guides did not say much about what we were seeing. The second tour we went on was Mexican Rocks and Sting Ray Alley with an amazing tour guide Marvin. He pointed out and told us the names of all of the fish and corals. I asked to see lobsters and he found some in the coral nooks for me to see. We mentioned we wanted to go on a night snorkel and Marvin agreed he could take us. Marvin did an amazing job showing us the marine life at night. I would highly recommend Marvin as a tour guide.
Amazing! Must Do Tour

5.00We had a wonderful time on a full day snorkeling tour. Hol Chan and surrounding reef was the best snorkeling we have ever had. So much marine life to see- countless varieties of fish, rays, nurse sharks, green turtles- amazing! Boys even saw a hammer head shark at one of our stops. Our guides Keanton and Abraham were very kind and patient. The day even included a stop to feed the tarpon fish and search for sea horses and manotees. We were not fortunate enough to see the manotees but the rest of the day made up for it. Our boys are 13 and it was a perfect day for them. Would not recommend for very young since it is a lot of snorkeling and a full day.
Best snorkeling experience

5.00The captain was very informative, the operators had excellent equipment, and the full day option was fun the entire time. The pace of the guide was aligned with the small group. All snorkels were dry snorkels so no water splashed in, which was not the case in other operators we used. Use this company for the best experience!
Not Your Average, Touristy Boat Tour

5.00Far exceeded expectations. For a full day tour, there was plenty of different sights and stops and even free time on Caye Caulker. Our guides were knowledgeable, professional and clearly enjoyed what they do. And if there was a bingo card for fish and wildlife seen, we would have won! Well worth it!
Melvin was amazing

5.00We had the absolute BEST experience with Jordan and Abraham! They took us in small groups and took us to great spots where we saw Eagle Rays, Sting Rays, Green Sea Turtles, schools of fish, tons of corals in HolChan. We then went to shark and Ray Alley and got up close with giant Norse sharks. They were very sweet and made sure everyone was safe, taken care off at all time! Could not recommend this enough!
Great trip in San Pedro & Caye

5.00FABULOUS!!!! This was our favorite Belize experience. Ovel's organization and customer service are top notch. Kyle was a fabulous guide. He created an amazing snorkel experience by showing us so many different types of sea life and educating us about them. Swimming with the sharks, petting the stingray, and feeding the tarpons were so fun! I would highly recommend this experience for all ages!
Best snorkling tour!

5.00Abraham and Marvin were the tour guides and they went above and beyond to make sure we had a good time. Boat was stocked with fruit and soda. Lunch was delicious food at the paradise Cafe on caye caukner. I have went on other tours and would highly recommend this one. The tour guides were knowledgeable and professional. Don't go without booking this if your in San pedro!
