What people are saying about San Pedro, Belize

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.
