This was by far my favorite snorkel tour I went on! Randy was so great and professional handling bookings and even found me a new group when mine canceled last minute. Joe was a wonderful guide and very informative! He made sure everyone was safe and enjoying their time! It was so great I booked it again for the next day! Great crew and great snorkel!

Totally worth it

Sony_S, Apr 2024

It absolutely worth the money. They tried their best to show us all famous snorkeling places and spend extra time to find and show manatee. I had a 5 year old with me, they took extra care of him and was always with him, that really helped me able to snorkel and see things in peace. The water itself was very clear and we really enjoyed the experience.

Amazing experience!

Valeria_Z, Apr 2024

Amazing! Swimming with rays,sharks, a turtle and plenty of fish! The guides were super friendly and the food was great :)

Amazing day!

Christina_L, Apr 2024

We had a wonderful adventure. Louis, Brian and Jason were excellent and knowledgeable guides. We made multiple stops and saw amazing marine life. During a guided portion, they pointed out so much. Lunch was good. We had a memorable day on what is probably our best snorkeling tour ever.

Awesome

lisa_a, Apr 2024

Very fun and super professional. We had 6 stops that allowed us to see a lot! Great lunch. Clean equipment

Friendly staff and beautiful snorkeling experience

Kanako_M, Mar 2024

Family of 5 ages 6,8,11 had a blast snorkeling. I was hoping more colorful corals and more fish but we did see stingrays and nurse sharks. We made 4 stops and fed Turpin at the end which was cool. The staff were friendly, the only mishap was when I didn’t get a lunch until 1 hr after everyone else ate… overall it was a fun excursion!

Slow start, spectacular finish.

Overall great trip. The Captain (Randy) was knowledgeable and helpful. One star removed because the tour started over an hour late. There were also issues securing the lunches. The snorkeling portion of the trip made me forget about the rough start. For the price, I haven't been on a better tour. Food, fruit, beer, and gear were all good. Only like 11 people in our group.

Awesome time

Kirt_J, Mar 2024

Amazing time and the guides were very personable and knowledgeable. We had a great time seeing multiple locations of the reef and seeing so much wildlife (sharks, stingrays, and tons of fish). The guides were great with my younger boys (9 and 11) and kept an extra eye on them.

The unforgettable water adventure

Caye Caulker snorkeling

Sonya_M, Feb 2024

Fun day on the ocean with a young, friendly crew. Saw some beautiful sea life and enjoyed a tasty lunch.

Great!!

Jahara_M, Feb 2024

Our guides were very nice and knowledgeable about the sea life, pointing out different things along the way. They provided food and drinks plus a beer after the swimming was done and we ended up going to 4 locations to snorkel. All the equipment was in good condition and it was overall a great experience! They also emailed us the underwater photos the day after the experience so we didn’t have to wait long at all.

AWESOME

Elaine_C, Feb 2024

OMG!! This experience is a MUST!! These guys are soooo amazing and very protective of their passengers/customers. I was nervous at first, I panicked and they can to my recuse so fast. I felt like I was in good hands with All State 😂 But I didn’t give up and got back in the water. I’m glad I did because I got to see sooooo many different fish in the sea in clouding swimming with the sharks. 10 out of 10 this was a 12 for MEEEEEEEE!!!

Amazing day!!

Laurie_S, Feb 2024

Fabulous time. Patient and helpful guides. Delicious lunch. A beautiful day!!! We enjoyed ourselves the day of and loved the pictures emailed to us the next day that they took with their underwater camera. DO THIS!
