If you have a checklist of stuff you want to see while snorkeling, you pretty much can see it all in this place. Every "Finding Nemo" colored fish you could think of as well as sharks, eagle rays, giant lobsters, tiger fish, barracudas, eels, sea cucumbers, huge conchs and, sea turtles -- especially one called "grandpa." Near the edge of... More

The reef is truly spectacular, and was loaded with vibrantly coloured fish and marine plant life. We saw a Hammerhead shark, which was my highlight (definitely NOT my wife's).

Hour and half boat ride from Hamanasi Resort....but well worth it!!! White sand with beautiful coral formations and tons of sea-life. The "Wall" was amazing! My wife was unable to dive, so she snorkeled and came back with the better pictures and she saw more sharks than we did! Don't pass up the chance to dive Glover's!!!!

My husband and I went snorkeling one morning. We went with one other couple as part of a tour arranged through almond beach resort. We had to wait out some rain but once we were able to get on the water we saw so much aquatic life. Fish, eels, sea cucumbers, jelly fish, rays, octopus, and star fish. It was... More

We dove 3 separate dives on this trip with Hopkins Underwater. 2 surface intervals on gorgeous islands. Well worth the trip. This is where the big fish hang out.

We spent two days diving on Glover's with Hopkins Underwater Adventures. Our four children completed their Open Water SCUBA certification dives there---AWESOME! Lots of big fish, turtles, sharks, rays and beautiful coral.

Greatly enjoyed our dives at Glovers Reef! Healthy looking reef and an abundance of marine life. Next time we are in Belize I need to spend more days diving.

Absolutely amazing. Will definitely trawl with Island Expeditions again. There customer service and people were genuine and first class. Glover's reef was an amazing. Spent days kayaking, kayak sailing, snorkelling, board paddling, fishing, hammock surfing. Beautiful island with constant breeze to keep you cool. Amazing food and it was Belizean and Mexican style. Highly recommend it as its as close... More

Wonderful first dive in Belize for us both. Great visibility and lots of sea life to see. Not over crowded with divers.
