TERRIBLE!!! Excursion was scheduled for Tuesday morning - they cancelled the Sailboat saying that they needed at least 6 people. Our family of 5 was left scrambling to find something else to do (at the last minute) on a beautiful sunny day. We rescheduled the excursion for Thursday morning - which they also cancelled (at the last minute) due to weather. Then they refused to reschedule for our last available day on Friday due to "potentially bad weather". Of course, Friday turned out to be another beautiful sunny day. Nevertheless we left Belize without experiencing part of the reason we came there in the first place. My advice - Book from a different tour co.!

CHRISTINA_T, June 2026
This was our first time snorkeling and we enjoyed it very much. The hotel where we took off from was easy to get to and find. The gear was also provided. The guides were awesome and very knowledgeable. Hol Chan and Shark Ray Alley were both super cool and a great experience . Our favorite was seeing the sea turtles. Note: If you are sensitive or prone to motion sickness I would recommend to take medicine as it's a sailboat.
