Highly recommend these guys!
These guys were great! David was our captain guide and Victor was the other guide. Both of them were very helpful and took great care of us! We went to shark ray alley before heading back to land, and that was fantastic! The Nurse Sharks were amazing. The entire trip is something we will never forget!

Beware Unannounced Cancellations
Dec 2020
Booked on November 23rd for our Xmas holiday and learned 2 weeks later, when looking at our credit card statement, that the tour operator had refunded our fees and canceled the trip without any communication. We received no emails, no TripAdvisor messages, or even a text. Had I not have seen that credit card statement, we would have showed up on 12/26 expecting to go snorkeling and been out of luck.

Amazing experience with amazing guides!
Mar 2020 • Couples
All in all we couldn’t have asked for more - saw tons of fish, sharks, rays, coral and our guide was insanely accommodating in helping get everyone comfortable with snorkelling. Couldn’t recommend doing this more and the drinks were absolutely amazing!

Very friendly and knowledgeable guides and wondering sights at Lighthouse Reef, make for a great once-in-a-lifetime experience. Belizeans are great in preserving their precious Blue Hole wonder, this is a must go experience for all.

Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful guide and captain, attentive and in tune to tourist changing needs throughout the trip. They were sensitive to the need to protect the area, and shared the species of fish and other creatures we saw as well.

I see the price bracket for Adults between 12-60. I have a 10 year old who would love to join us. Is that possible? We are staying in San Pedro town. Where do we board?
Tae A
21 contributions
It’s the same price ranging from $60-70 USD, yes a 10 year old can snorkel there.
Any tour excursion places will have boats but the oldest is Ramon’s Village in San Pedro. You should book it advance, we did the 1/2 day morning tour of Hol Chan Shark and Ray Alley.

Hi, I see that you have to options (8:30 and 13:30). Which one do you think is the best to see more animals?
Thanks in advance

This may sound silly, but do you actually swim with the sharks, rays, etc? It seems substantially cheaper than the other excursions promising the experience. Just curious as there aren't any "photos" featured like others. TIA

Actually you do they are nurse sharks, and fed before you jump in, they are playful and fun, there are many other pretty fish as well.
I suggest the company TUFF ENUFF with Capt Tigger, who has a more private Catamaran, then the others, he dives with you and will take pictures underwater with you. We really enjoyed the less crowded personal service from him and the crew and a yummy lunch! Beautiful day.

How far ai this from Harvest Caye? Do you pick up from there ?
Lyle N
Kelowna, Canada175 contributions
There are companies that take people from Harvest Caye directly to the Snorkel site. It will be at least a two hour boat ride to get to Ambergris Caye where the reef is. Plan for a whole day trip.

How far is Blue Tang Inn from Mahogany Bay Resort and Beach Club? How do I get there? Do I have to travel via golf cart or boat?
Davearmitage2014

The Blue Tang is one of the best situated hotels so you won’t have far to travel. I suggest that you rent a golf cart. Great for buzzing aroud and seeing the sights.

Hello, was the majority of the snorkeling locations relatively shallow? My wife would like to be able to touch bottom if at all possible since she's new to snorkeling.

It is shallow but not enough to touch bottom. They do offer life vests.

I’m cruising and want to know if they will pick us up at the cruise port
Tina

They pick up from Blue Tang Inn from what their description states (only from hotel docks). They do have water taxi's there at the cruise port. I'd call Blue Tang Inn and ask them if its possible to take a water taxi to their Inn or get a hold of a Belize water taxi service. I'd also try to get off the ship as early as possible to make good use of your time. Its a 20 min water shuttle from the ship to the pier.

Same question, how to get to this destination and is it doable from the cruise ship?
Tina
Oklahoma City, OK1 contribution
Hello again. I just got back from Belize (didn't do an excursion), but I was told at the port Info desk they have Water Taxi's that can take you places. I'd call Blue Tang Inn or call a Belize water taxi company and see if they can get you there.

will be coming to belize on cruise ship. want to take this tour. where does tour meet in belize and is transportation included? and how many people are on this type of tour, we don't want to be over crowded
Tina
Oklahoma City, OK1 contribution
From my understanding it meets at Blue Tang Inn. Transportation is included from Blue Tang, but looks like you have to get yourself there from the ship. It doesn't state how many are booked on the tour, it only states that if a minimum # of travelers is not met, it will be canceled you can get a refund. Another person did say that they booked and named the excursion co and said there were 6 on their boat. Not sure if this one is offered by the same company.
