We booked this excursion while on a cruise to Belize so it was not booked through the ship. It was a tender port and we had issues with the tender boat which caused a significant delay in getting to shore. The mainland was notified of the issue and we were told our excursion was still on. And yes, the company waited for us to arrive (we were about 45 minutes late). We were so grateful that they waited and we were able to enjoy this wonderful excursion. The kayaking was great going through the caves. The walk there was nice and not strenuous and crossing the river was easy. Our guide was Abner and he was informative and made jokes. We opted out of the lunch option since we were worried about time with our original delay. But would definitely recommend the kayaking tour and would definitely go again. Thanks for a great experience (and waiting for us to arrive)!!!!

Amazing trip! Highly recommend. Renee and Adiva were amazing guides! They were funny, knowledgeable and you could tell they were having a blast and loved the ocean. They knew so much about the ocean, the reefs and all of the animals we saw. They worked super hard to make sure we saw everything - manatees, eagle rays, turtles, beautiful corals and fish and even dolphins at the end of the day. Loved how much variety there was on the trips and the different snorkel stops. Icing on the cake was that someone on the boat lost their phone in the ocean and Renee went out of his way, diving back at multiple stops to try to find it. Amazing guy! They also gave us great recommendations for things to do in caye caulker. Great trip!

Absolutely fantastic experience, the guides were great, I am not a strong swimmer so I was nervous but it was much easier than I expected I’m so glad I still went. Sea turtles were the highlight!! Beautiful.

My wife and I really enjoyed our tour, the guide was very knowledgeable and fun. We learned some interesting history about The Mayans, had fun zip-lining and then a relaxing cave tube ride.

Rene and Adivina were the guides on our boat and they were great. They were very knowledgeable about the sea life and made sure we saw all the main sights on our trip
