We did this same excursion last year and it is all the same staff. They are friendly, very well trained, very knowledgeable about the reef. This place is not fancy, it has a very small covered pavllion where the locals cook some really good food,and a very small restroom and the most beatiful white beach and the most beatiful crystal...

We were staying on San Pedro and I had seen postcards of Goffs Caye and wasnt able to go out there on my last trip to Belize so was determined to go this time around. This excursion from San Pedro is advertised as the Manatee tour, with a BBQ lunch and snorkel in Goffs Caye. The trick to beat the... More

We decided to book a tour to Goff's Caye during a cruise we took in late February. Do to logistics, it appeared Goff's Caye would be the only snorkel tour that would be feasible based on our hours at port with tenders. When researching the island looked really small with limited facilities and I only imagined us arriving to crowded... More

We booked through Island Marketing while visiting on a cruise. The ride out was long as others have described but interesting discussion with the guides on the island history. The boat was full and rather tight seating. The snorkeling from the boat was a little disappointing. After a long safety briefing, the entry to water required about a 3 ft... More

I was on the Liberty of the Seas and took a private excursion through Ecological Tours to Goffs Caye in Belize on 4-2-12 and it was amazing. Tender to port of Belize took about 25 minutes. Once at the port got pictures taken with Dream Works characters for the kids. Met our tour guide with ease, paid for the excursion,... More

After tendering in from the Liberty we met a very nice salesmen from EcoTours no hard sell just a nice guy. My husband and I signed up and had a great time. The guides were very nice and very helpful to the inexperienced snorklers. It was ruff that day so not the best snorkeling but well worth the 45.00 More

Tour by "Ecological Tour" company. (NOT "Ecotour"). A bumpy half-hour boat ride out to a tiny island (I doubt it was even the the stated half-acre size) across turquoise seas. After dropping non-snorkelers at the beach, the boat went to a spot where the current would carry us all towards the shore. Crew provided clear instructions for novices. Snorkels, fins,... More

When cruising to Belize, you don't have enuf time to get to where the best dive/snorkel is & back on the ship. The seas were pretty high when we were there (21st of Feb, last week) and all but the experienced snorkelers had a bad time of it. We were meant to take the boat out & swim back, but... More

We had a blast, We signed up on shore and saved money. The guides were friendly and knowledgable. They grilled food and had drinks. The snorkeling was amazing, the guide let us stay out longer if we wanted and pointed out different fish, nice beach. The bathroom was just a outhouse building, no running water, but expected that for the... More
