Absolutely Outstanding! - I would recommend this to anyone wanting to experience an amazing snorkel experience!! The guides were incredibly patient- especially Jordan- with our entire family (teens and elderly grandma). We saw tons of fish, nurse sharks, sting rays, a manatee, sea horse and even fed tarpon. The lunch on Cay Caulker was wonderful. We couldn’t ask for more. We will absolutely book with them again.

So much fun!! - We had so much fun snorkeling with Ridge and Reef Adventures! The owner is so kind and pleasant to work with. He accommodated all of my special requests and changes with no problem. Our tour guides, Kyle and Jordan, were amazing! They were so knowledgeable and kind; they made our entire group of 8 feel safe and protected. They also had a GoPro to take all of our videos and pictures and the content came out perfect!!! Check out my Instagram to view the photos @miss.corina. We were so thrilled about that because that really allowed us to enjoy the experience of snorkeling. I would highly recommend anyone to book their excursions with Ridge & Reef Adventures. You will not regret it! Tell them Corrina sent you!

An Experience You’ll Remember - Ridge and Reef Adventures all day snorkeling tour was the highlight of our trip. We snorkeled in several places including Hol Chan Marine Reserve, Shark and Ray Alley, Conch Graveyard, hand fed tarpons, touched sting rays as they swam around us, and saw sea horses. Our guides were Jordan and Cyle both extremely knowledgeable on snorkeling and what to look for. One would lead the group and the other trailed behind to ensure no one got lost. There are numerous other snorkeling and scuba groups in the area so you could end up with the wrong group because you’re so focused on the underwater beauty. In Hol Chan it’s amazing to see the large schools of fish that swim so close that you think you could reach out and touch. Swimming with the nurse sharks while they are in a frenzy over chum thrown in is an experience you won’t forget. They swim so close that your inches away from them. Cyle hand fed a ray which was a sight to see. The only disappointment was the rough water in the manatee area prevented us from snorkeling there and being able to see a manatee. A Belizean lunch of coconut rice and beans, stewed chicken and coleslaw was provided and delicious. What stands out the most for this tour was Jordan and Cyle and how they ensured everyone had an awesome time.

The reefs in the area are... - The reefs in the area are amazing and the fish are so abundant. The guides were friendly and watched out for everyone but didn’t do a very good job of educating the public about how to protect the reef, ecosystem of wildlife. They missed a great opportunity to educate people about not touching things and giving the manatees room. There were so many people getting closer and closer that I had to say something to crowds to get people to back up. There were even people trying to touch the manatees. There’s garbage everywhere and the guides didn’t tell people to give them the plastic bags that the water came in. Overall I still recommend this trip but would like to give them feedback about taking the opportunity to educate asa many people as possible about the fragile and beautiful environment.

Less time than expected in the water, but the staff was great, the boat was comfortable, and the snorkeling was great! - A lovely tour with a solid staff. They were patient, helpful, and communicated well. I would have liked a little more time snorkeling (it was broken down into three different locations - one was about 45 minutes, one about 30, and the last was a shorter one to see the manatees). Considering the full day itinerary, I thought there would be more time in the water. Overall, the experience was positive and the service was great!
