Wow!!! What an experience! I was fortunate enough to spend a couple of days fishing, snorkeling, conch diving, lobster spearing, etc. etc. with the BEST guides in Ambergris Caye. I chose to go with Seakarus Tours based off of all of the other great reviews on Trip Advisor. That was one of my smartest decisions I've ever made when it comes to picking a fishing guide. For full disclosure, I also part time guide myself in Oregon. I have our areas pretty dialed in so our success rate at home is usually pretty good for fishing and crabbing. When I normally go with a guide in different parts of the world I am almost always disappointed because I have more success back home because I have had 20 years to get it all dialed in.
This was the first trip I've been on that EXCEEDED expectations. Manny and his wife just had a baby girl (congrats Manny!) so he was in France when I had my trips booked. He was still in constant contact the entire time and running the operation behind the scene. He had captains Cliff and Will run the boat while I was there. These guys are a couple of work horses that are on top of everything. After spending 2 days with them on the boat they would definitely be two guys I would always invite to go fishing with me back home. They are humble, hard working and extremely knowledgeable. You will feel like you've known them your entire life once you meet them.
If you book a trip with Seakarus I would recommend bringing some tackle or equipment you can donate to them. Whenever I travel and go fishing with a guide I always make a point to bring things I can leave with them. Fishing gear is expensive in general but is usually 40% more expensive in remote areas. If you can swing leaving some gear behind with the guys they really appreciate it. More than most think. They had everything needed for our trips, I just think it's really appreciated when others leave the crew some new gear for future trips.
You can't go wrong with this crew. I will be back in October with the rest of my family and we will be going out with Manny, Will and Cliff. I can't wait!

Thank you Clifford and Manny for a fabulous day! Highly recommend these guys for any excursion out in the sea. We never felt rushed and they made sure we knew our day was built around what we wanted. We were picked up at our resort and taken from one end of the Caye to the other to find the best fishing and snorkeling areas. The food that was prepared on the beach was amazing, especially the lobster we caught. We brought our 3 kids and they did an amazing job with them!

We recently returned from a 10 day trip to San Pedro, Belize. We can safely say our two best days were spent with Manny, Cliff, and Gordo. We did the full day survivor tour and the full day Hol Chan/Caye Caulker tour. Seakarus tours goes above and beyond to create amazing memories. We spoke to other tourists who did similar tours with other companies and they did not have nearly as great of an experience as we did. I highly recommend Seakarus you will not be disappointed.

What an amazing experience! Manny and Cliff really outdid themselves on our day trip on the waters in front of San Pedro. They picked us up at the Grand Caribe for a day of fishing in San Pedro and they were gracious and patient enough to teach first time fly fishers how to fish with a pole. We landed a whopper of a barracuda, several mutton snappers, they even dove for fresh conch which they all used to make us the most amazing ceviche and seafood lunch we've ever had - all on a private beach! It felt like we were on Gilligan's Island, just better!!! I would recommend Seakarus Tours to anyone, from adults to kids and family day trips alike. Hands down an unforgettable experience in my books!

Manuel and his partner were awesome! The communication planning for our group could not have been better. They provided us with a personalized, local experience based on what our group was looking to do. The hidden beach and lunch were UnBelizeable! I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Captain Manny and his crew where great hosts and made it a very special day for us. From catching lobsters, swimming with rays, snorkeling through the reef and reeling in lots of fish we had a wonderful time. Then the ceviche and fish they made came out amazing. Even the kids that don't eat SEAFOOD couldn't stop going back and getting more. I would recommend this trip to anyone.

This beautiful paradise of an island is enjoyable on its own, but the guys down at seakarus made it that much more enjoyable. We got an early start to the day and headed out to shark ray alley where we overcame our fear thanks to our guides and shared a memorable experience swimming with sharks. All the while we laughed and talked, as we quickly headed to hol Chan marine reserve. Our guides taught us to properly use the gear, and guided us in the direction of mesmerizing sea creatures, making our snorkeling trip worth while. I have been to San Pedro countless times, but this was my best trip by miles. Our family was able to enjoy, kids, adults and teens. Those that swam and those that didn’t. It was overall a very good time. Thank you to the guys at seakarus tours. If you try them, you won’t regret it.

The best Thanksgiving ever!! Cliff and Mannie are excellent guides. On our Survivor Tour we started out net fishing then used that for our fresh catch for dinner. I caught 5 Red Snapper, hubby one. We released gar, triggerfish and porgy. Then went on to spear lobster, octopus and collected conch. We ate fresh conch ceviche and then went to their private beach and relaxed while they cooked out catch over coconut fire. I highly recommend Seakarus.

AMAZING! We recently did the all day Hol Chan/Shark-Ray/Caye Caulker trip with Mannie and Cliff. We had 13 adults and enjoyed every minute! They picked us up directly from our resort north of San Pedro and away we went. Their local knowledge of the sea and land was shared with us as we toured the beautiful areas. They made DELICIOUS fresh made ceviche onboard and were courteous, fun and professional. We’d rebook with them in a heart beat! Thank you to giving us such a memorable trip!

Did anyone book this tour months in advance or book once arriving in Belize? I have attempted to book a tour on specific dates in December, but haven't gotten a clear response other than the run down of the tour and what to expect.

I would call them directly and ask. We had 4 people and paid $600 ($150 ea) for an all day trip with all food and drinks included (did some snorkleing and had lunch on their private beach, too.) Good time!

What is your policy if the charter is canceled due to weather? I booked a trip on the 14th and the weather does not look great... I've tried to get a hold of someone there but no luck so far.

We were told the same thing on our outing-if weather is bad or rainy, they don't go out.

Good afternoon, if coming in on a cruise ship in July, what times are the 1/2 day excursions and what kind of fish can be expected? Need to fish!!

8:30 am and 1:30 pm, I believe for reef fishing.
Expect to catch lots of snapper and a few Jack Crevalles.

We're arriving tomorrow afternoon. 6 adults, 2 kids.
Can you handle 8 of us on a survival tour? Let's make a deal.

A single fisherman, might be able to find a partner. How much $ for a half or full day?
Stephen T
Philadelphia, PA14 contributions
There are different options available, I no longer have the email so this might not be exact but I think it was something like:
half day fishing $250
half day fishing/beach bbq/snorkeling $400
Those are the two trips we did when we went in may 2016 so I'm pretty sure that is what we paid.
Then I think there was a full day fishing trip $400? Not real sure about that.
Best bet is to email them using the contact link on the email, they Manny was very responsive.

This looks like a lot of fun. A small boat though. Is there a bathroom? Didn't look like there's room. Any tips or info if we take this tour?

Wear your bathing suit, there is a ladder off the back. They have Bluetooth on the boat so if you have a device with music bring it. The guys were great, you won't be disappointed.
