$$$ Lots of experiences for your money $$$ - This is the ultimate excursion! So many stops it was well worth the money. Jordan and Abraham were awesome too. Hol Chan Reserve was awesome in of itself. But then you went to Shark and Sting Ray Alley which was cool especially since you are in the water when they feed. Then to Coral Gardens to snorkle the coral heads which were OK. Then on our way to see Manatee we saw Bottlenose Dolphins swimming. We didn't end up seeing the Manatee but thats OK. And if all that wasn't enough we went to Tarpon Cove where you can feed the Tarpon from your hands. My boyfriend thought it was so cool and did it a few times. Then our last stop was to Caye Caulker where we had a wonderful Belizean lunch and we got to walk around for an hour or so.
Jordan and Abraham manned the boat and our tour every step of the way. They were very knowledgable about marine life, about Belize and kept everyone safe on our trip. I couldn't thank them enough and would definitely book with the company and with them again. It was one of the highlights of our trip!

Awesome day trip - It was an amazing experience thanks to Jordan and Abraham. What an amazing experience. I will definitely book again only if Jordan is there. He made it such a great experience and the pride he took to do his job. I was so scared i dont even know how to swim but yet i conquered my fear and jumped in. I saw so many colorful fishes. Stingray. Sharks, turtles dolphins and a manatee swimming underneath me. What an amazing experience.

Fun Snorkel Adventure! - We had an amazing time on our snorkeling adventure, seeing several turtles, stingrays, and beautiful fish! We had fun exploring Caye Caulker with some free time as well. Our guides, Jordan and Abraham, were wonderful people as well.

Wonderful! - We saw it all! Manatee, turtles, spotted eagle ray, seahorses, dolphins, sharks and fish. We know that's not a guarantee and we got lucky. Our guides Jordan and Abram were lovely and took good care of everyone. Lunch was good and the stop in Caye Caulker was just the right amount of time.

Lived up to our expectations for sure. - Great bang for your buck with this tour! Several stops to snorkel with fun and knowledgeable guides. Small enough group that it’s never crowded or rushed. Would absolutely recommend this company.

So awesome that we went back for a second time 2 days later! - Best part of our trip by far!! We loved it so much we went back for a half day trip with Ridge and Reef to snorkel again 2 days later! We (my sister and I) didn’t have much snorkeling experience and didn’t know what to expect, and this experience blew my mind. The marine life was amazing. We saw all different kinds of things - all different kinds of fish, rays, manatees, nurse sharks, sea horses, and different types of coral. I’m sure the reef was even more beautiful in the past, and I loved that our snorkel guides were so respectful of their environment and home. I hope it stays intact for years to come. I would definitely go back. For our first trip, Jordan and Abraham were great. Jordan was so caring and thorough. I would get so excited because he’d point to marine life under water, and then anyone who wanted to could pop above the surface to hear what kind of fish it was along with some fun facts. His passion for what he does is inspiring. For the second tour, we were with Kyle and Danny, and then Jordan was able to help us out a bit too! We had some hiccups on the 8-hour trip regarding our boat, and we started a little behind schedule, but they made sure to make up for it and added some on to the end to make up for lost time. I highly recommend Ridge and Reef and would be happy to book with them again if I were in Belize again.

Best tour on the Island - Six of us went on this tour and we all agree it is exceptionable. Duane, Cyle and Micheal were extremely excellent guides. They made this one of
the best guilded tours ever. The locations they took us were great. The whole trip was super. They even supplied water, sodas and fresh cut fruit to smack on. I would recommend this tour company to anyone going to San Pasro, Belize.

A Full Experience! - This is a full day experience that hits all the highlights for those who like to snorkel and want a chance to see Caye Caulker. The snorkeling at Hol Chan was amazing and our guide, Nick, did a fantastic job of pointing out the fish we were seeing. The sharks were impressive to see up close - unnerving at first but once you saw they were only interested in the food you could enjoy their gracefulness. We only saw a single ray on our trip. Unfortunately, we didn't see any Manatees but not for lack of trying. The guides stopped at 3 different spots looking for them but they were elusive. We appreciated getting to spend a couple hours exploring Caye Caulker on our own as we didn't have time in our itinerary for that Caye. The tarpon feeding was a hoot and made for some great videos and lots of laughs from everyone in the boat. It is a long day but it is packed with activities. You get to sample a little bit of everything and we are so glad we got to experience this tour. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip. We also loved the lunch we got at Paradiso Cafe on Caye Caulker, there is a possibility it was because we were so hungry but I don't think so. The chicken was so tender and the juices it was in made everything better. Highly recommend this if you have a full day for it and have any interest in these activities. Hopefully you'll get to see a manatee on your trip!
