Best Guides Ever! - This was our second trip back to Hopkins and we requested our favorite tour guides again, Kearan and Tyler are awesome! We went out Spearfishing and snorkeling 3 times while there and every time just got better and better. I love going to Hopkins and have found lifetime friends with our guides. We already cannot wait to go back and book with this group again!

Great experience with Julian out of Hopkins BZ - My wife and I did 4 tours last week with Julian Transfers & Tours: Bioluminescence, chocolate making, snorkeling and the 7-mile cave kayaking. Each one was a great experience with both of us very satisfied with the experience. The team at Julian is top notch - friendly, knowledgeable and delivered exactly what they promised. This was our first visit to Belize, and we are already talking about plans to return again - beautiful country and such friendly locals - we wouldn't hesitate to do more tours with Julian when we return.

Great experience! - This was a great experience. Pick up was right on time. This was my wife’s first time snorkeling. They were patient with her getting the hang of it and teaching her what to do. After a little bit of practice on the shore we launched out into the ocean. Good times and friendly excursion leaders.

Shuttle Transfer and Snorkeling - We used Julian Transfers & Tours for a half day snorkeling excursion. We were staying inland at Sleeping Giant Lodge and our day stated with our great driver Travis picking us up and getting us to Hopkins to meet the boat. We went out on the water with our guide Theo and boat captain Kiran. They were both great! Theo pointed out all the different fish we were seeing when we were in the water so that we knew what we were looking at. We will definitely use Julians Transfers & Tours the next time we are in Belize.
