So much fun - Booked this last minute because I was scared lol. But at the last moment I booked it and I’m glad I did. It was abt 8 of us and we had a nice time. Well I did. Shout out to Abraham he totally swam with me and another young lady helping to get to the reef to see all the cool animals ! He didn’t complain he just kept going with us. lol. I was so scared at first but he made me feel excited. He even gave me a hotspot because I had no cell service lol. We saw a manatee, spotted ray and the nurse sharks. We didn’t feel rushed or anything he actually wanted us to experience everything. He said they hadn’t seen the manatee in months lol so it was like a good luck thing that we got to see it. I got some cool underwater pics too ! 10/10 experience !

Fun & Safe snorkeling experience - I’m the company provided easy to understand directions to the dock. It was quick and easy to check in and get our gear. There were life vest for all of us. The staff helped us get fitted with the correct gear. There were only 5 people on my tour which was great! The tour guide led us through snorkeling at Hol Chan. We saw sea turtles, rays and a ton of fish. We also went to shark & sting ray alley. There were waters, sodas and pineapples on board for us to eat and drink.

Amazing time! - We went on 2 separate tours during our stay in San Pedro! Abraham was a patient and friendly guide, making sure that we were always safe and pointing out all of the various sea creatures that we encountered. I didn't know that swimming with sharks was on my bucket list, but now I can cross it off!

Awesome - They accommodated us even though because it is offseason now they did not have enough customers to make it optimal for them. Cyle, our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We saw more than a dozen nurse sharks in a feeding frenzy over sardines Cyle brought, sea tortise and a ray along with magnificent corals and reff fish by the thousands. It was a very enjoyable and informative experience. I highly recommend the Ridge and Reef Adventure team!

Excursions was cancelled without any notification - Well I planned to go towards the end of my trip and had scheduled the trip and I showed up and was told the trip was canceled so the one of the main things I wanted to do while in Belize I did not get to do! They didn’t even contact me so I could schedule with so i schedule with someone else! Very unprofessional and very disappointing!

Bad Experience - Our booked snorkeling tour was canceled just a few hours before departure. The organizer was unfriendly and tried to sell us a private tour for extra cash instead. Very disappointing.
