Belize boat and snorkel trip - First time in Belize and snorkeling on this reef. Took full day trip with Alvin, Jayden, Captain Rich. 10 passengers. Plenty of room on boat. Pretty ride to 3 sites. 1st site a little choppy with current, next two shallower and much better fish and reef. Great island lunch and relaxation afterward. Picked up and dropped off at dock in front of our lodge. Thanks to a terrific crew !

Hopkins, Belize - Five Star Snorkeling - My husband and I snorkled with a team from 'Get to Know Belize' on our recent trip to Hopkins. Tour guides Tyler, Aldon and Theo were professional and very knowledgeable in all aspects of the trip and of the reef. Boat captain, Richie D., was a very skilled driver (as well as entertainer). We felt safe, learned a lot, met fellow travelers, and laughed. This family owned business surpassed our expectations!

Wonderful day on the water. - My husband and I try to snorkel on any beach trip and we are so glad we booked with Josie and her crew. Jeff was our captain, and Alton (spelling?) was our leader in the water. These guys were great! They worked hard to make sure we all were safe and happy. Alton also was great in the water with pointing out unusual fish and coming to the surface to tell us their names. It was the half day excursion, so only a few hours on the water, but we went to two locations for snorkeling ( the 2nd had better fish) and one other spot to just sort of chill. We didn't see that many "amazing' fish, though a couple of nurse sharks were swimming around. We had also been told that only 4 other people were booked with us, and it turned out there were 12, including a family of 5. I am not sure if there was a last minute change for staffing, or if something else happened. We all took it in stride,and though the boat was crowded, everyone had a great time. We also rented our golf cart from Jose and Get to know Belize, so though they picked us up near our AirBnB, we rode back with them to the final spot to get the golf cart -- which they came an picked up from us at the end of our stay.

The Best Snorkeling Tour of Our Lives - This was one of the best experiences of our lives. We went with a group of 4 women for the full day snorkeling and we all had an absolute blast. Meds and Tyler were outstanding/ top notch teachers and tour guides, sharing their marine expertise along the way, some of the nicest people out there. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you SO much!!! We saw SO much from the reefs, hammerhead shark, coolest fish, bluest waters, sting rays — what a dream!

Ideal snorkeling and tasty fresh caught lunch on Bread and Butter Caye - We had a great time snorkeling on the barrier reef. The crew, Aldan, Tio and Big-G ensured that everyone had fun. We snorkeled 3 different locations to see nurse sharks, rays, coral, and more. While snorkeling the crew caught fish, lobster and conch, which they prepared and served for lunch on Bread and Butter Caye. It was a safe, fun and adventurous activity.

Very fun and friendly - My husband and I had a wonderful time. We were in a group of 12. The guides were very knowledgeable about all of the things we saw in the ocean. They added a lot of humor and made us all feel very welcomed and appreciated. I only gave 4instead of 5 stars because this is the first time a guide was actually in the water with us. He wanted us to stay close to him so he could point things out, but it’s hard to hear him when your head is underwater. Personally, I’d rather explore on my own instead of constantly trying to hear and see where our guide is.
