What To Expect
Tarpon Feeding Dock
The Tarpon Feeding stop is by far one of the highlights of the tour. We like to say, if you’re not fully awake yet, this is the stop that’s guaranteed to get your heart pumping! Tarpon are massive fish that can grow up to 8 feet long and weigh as much as 300 pounds. Feeding these leaping giants is an unforgettable experience you definitely don’t want to miss when visiting Caye Caulker.
Mesoamerican Reef (Belize Barrier Reef)
The Belize Barrier Reef is approximately 287 miles long. On a full-day tour from Caye Caulker, you’ll be exploring just a small portion of its magnificence. Our next stop is only 8 minutes away from Caye Caulker, where we’ll search 2 to 3 main areas of the reef for manatees. Once found, we’ll snorkel with them—of course—while maintaining a respectful distance and avoiding any touching or harassment of these majestic creatures. If we’re not lucky at first, we’ll continue to other stops and try again on our way back to Caye Caulker.

Magical Manatee!!
lovetotravel3015,Apr 2, 2026

5.00Magical experience with a manatee! This was a great experience snorkeling with Jugo/Juice and Daniel. I always do a lot of research when I book a tour. Blackhawk tours consistently had rave reviews and they did small groups which I really like. We saw lots of sea life....sharks, a turtle, rays, a barracuda, tons of fish but my absolute favorite was our encounter with a manatee. Their picture was a snorkeler with a manatee. I had never swam with a manatee before or even seen one in the wild. Of course they can't guarantee anything with wild animals, but I was hopeful :) We saw a manatee from the boat, but in a part we couldn't get in the water. Then when we were in a part we could get in, they spotted one! We got in and the manatee was very relaxed...swimming with us before it swam away. When we came up, Jugo pointed to where he had gone and this is where it got magical...we were swimming right above it when it turned around and swam toward me. I was so excited! Then I remembered we'd been told we shouldn't touch any sea life, so I started backing up...and it came up to me and looked in my face! It stayed with us for a little bit before it swam away for the last time. I couldn't believe how close it got to us and how friendly and chill it was. It was everything I could have hoped for. They film with a go pro which is great...one tip... download the pictures you want to keep, as a couple of weeks later the link they had sent us no longer worked. They were kind enough to upload it again and resend it. They take really good care of you and keep you fed and hydrated with good food and drinks. You can tell they really want you to have a great experience and we did! I highly recommend them...we booked them through Viator, but I'm sure you can book directly with them as well.

5.00We had an amazing day with Al and EJ. They were both very personable and knowledgeable of the areas that we were going to. They made the experience interactive fun and we all walked away having learned something new that day. The snorkelling was amazing and receiving the GoPro footage after was incredible. Thank you to EJ for getting some amazing coverage for us of the beautiful species that we saw during the day.

5.00Such a great time snorkeling. Juice and Al were amazing guides, they made us laugh, answered all of our questions, and gave us a phenomenal experience of the entire area. The lunch provided by the full day was made by Al and it was so delicious. The start time wasnt too early, they provided all the equipment we needed, and along with lunch they even gave us snacks too. We saw incredible marine life and i would definitely book through blackhawk tours again.
Quality snorkeling for a good price

5.00Snorkeling in Caye Caulker was a total vibe! 🌊🐢 Huge thanks to the guys at Blackhawk Tours for an incredible half-day out on the water. The Details: 💰 Value: $125 per person! 📍 The Route: We hit three amazing spots, including the iconic Hol Chan Marine Reserve and a stop for Tarpon feeding. 🦈 Wildlife: We saw it all—turtles, rays, nurse sharks, and even a barracuda that decided to follow us around for a bit! 🍍 Snacks: The team kept us fueled with fresh pineapple and watermelon. The guides were so nice and made sure everyone had a great time. If you’re looking for a professional but laid-back crew to show you the reef, these are your guys! 🇧🇿✨

5.00We had an amazing trip with this company in Belize and it was wonderful. We visited a marine reserve with crystal clear waters. We saw many marine animals from close, which made everything special. The organization was excellent from beginning to end. The staff was attentive and very professional. We highly recommend this experience!
The snorkel trip was awesome!

5.00I had a great day out on the boat with Al and Darwin. We were able to feed jumping fish, swim with sharks and turtles, and see so many kinds of fish. Though we didn’t see manatees, I appreciated the lengths that the guides went through to try to find one, stopping in hot spots at the start and end of the day. Al and Darwin were super nice and I think everyone on the tour had a good time.
