Splash Dive Center was great, took care of each of us, and we had a wonderful experience. Romeo and Sam were great guides on snorkel adventure. Lunch was delicious and accommodated my wifes food restrictions. Robert was a excellent boat driver and did a good job getting us out and back even though the waves were choppy.

The people at Splash were so accommodating! We went while the water was a little choppy but our driver Carlos did great navigating and made us feel safe. Our guide was terrific and had a lot of knowledge. An experience to remember!

Makenzie, thank you for taking the time to share your adventure with Splash. Our guides love to share their knowledge about Belize and Laughing Bird Caye. We hope we will see you again - maybe to learn to dive?

We had a fantastic day on Laughing Bird Caye! Omado and Danny were great guides. We saw so many fish and our guides were great to point out different things for us to see. Splash Dive Center communicated so well and all the employees were great. This is a must do when in Placencia! Local lunch was great as well.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Thank you for sharing your experience with Splash at Laughing Bird Caye National Park. Our crews and staff are committed to making sure our guests have a fun and educational trip and yes, Belizeans know how to create a great Belize style picnic style lunch. We hope we will see you again on one of our snorkel tours - or maybe come back to learn to dive!

We had a phenomenal day with Stacy, Gabriel and Jonathan. They were very patient with us and the kids.
The island was beautiful and we didn’t have to think of anything.
Response from Host, Apr 2022
Hi Rachel Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with Splash on Trip Advisor. Our crews love to share their knowledge and to encourage our guests to become ambassadors for Belize. Thank you for helping to spread the word Madam Ambassador!

we had previously done another snorkeling experience with a different outfitter that included very little snorkeling. This one included two long sessions of snorkeling before and after a fantastic picnic lunch. Our guide, Ronald, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The reef was gorgeous! Highly recommend.
Response from Host, Apr 2022
Julie, thank you for a great review. Our guides love to share their knowledge with visitors and to teach guests about the beauty of Belize and the need to protect and preserve this special place.

Very beautiful tiny caye . The snorkeling was easy and we saw a good diversity of plants and fish , made easier by clear blue water and white sandy bottom . Regan was our guide and he was great , funny and easy going . Boat ride was hard for me , the only one who gets sea sick .
Response from Host, Jan 2022
Hi Kathy and thank you for taking time to share your experience at Laughing Bird Caye National Park - and clear blue water and white sandy bottom with lots of coral heads supporting the marine life in this special place. We hope we will see you back this way again and hope you will overcome your sea sickness. Those who are subject to becoming sea sick should sit as close to the back of the boat as possible (less motion), should look at the horizon (sense of stability) and of course take sea sickness tablets at least one hour before departure.
Elena_S, Apr 2021
wonderful experience, caring team.
our tour was upgraded, we were able to go supping in addition to snorkeling.
Response from Host, Apr 2021
Elena, thank you for a great review and we are very happy that you had a wonderful experience. Our team is dedicated to teaching the world about the beauty of Belize and the need to protect and preserve this very special place. Upgrade was offered as weather was a bit of a question and we had a bigger boat going to a key out on the barrier reef. Elena, we hope we will see you down this way again.
