What people are saying about Caye Caulker

Had THE absolute best snorkeling experience swimming with manatees, nurse sharks, stingrays and so much more! Honestly couldn't believe we'd see so much amazing sea life in the wild in one day. We even saw a crocodile and some seahorses when we got to shore! One additional sweetener was all the underwater photos and videos were included in the price, whereas other tours take it as another opportunity to ask you for money. This was very much appreciated - as was the rum punch we had in liberal quantities too! By far the best sea life tour I've ever done.

We had Salaam as our Captain and guide. Excellent! Very knowledgeable and entertaining. Realizing we might not see everything "you might see" on our snorkeling trip that day, we were so very fortunate, we did! Salaam, and his crew of one, went above and beyond! Concern for preservation of the reef and sea were apparent by the stories they shared. A learning experience along with much laughter. Great, great day!!!

This was amazing!!! Far exceeded our expectations. We saw a manatee close up, as well as a turtle, tons of large nurse sharks, sea horses, and so much more. Salam and Tony were fantastic guides. Went above and beyond.

Can definitly recommend. Trip was really cheery on top of cake during stay in Belize. I like how it was organized and how it was handled by team. Definitly well spend money.

Randy, Phillip and Janellie were amazing guides!!! This was an incredible day, one we will remember always. We highly recommend this tour group!!!
