Beautiful Snorkeling and Easy Boat Ride - The trip out to the Caye was easy and the snorkeling was beautiful! Our snorkeling guide was great at pointing things out and kept an eye on everyone while letting us explore. Great coral and wildlife! Having a snack on dry land before getting back on the boat was a bonus.

Fun Half Day Excursion - We took the Captain Jak's half day excursion to laughing bird Caye. It's a ton of fun, there was a nice spot to pick up any last minute rations before we left, then a fun boat ride to a beautiful location. We had an awesome tour guide who showed us many of the cool things the ocean had to offer. Highly Recommend!

Amazing Laughing Bird Caye Snorkel - We had a amazing snorkel at Laughing Bird Caye. Captain Jacks crew was fantastic. Tulu was our hour snorkel guide. He was very patient and made sure everyone had their gear on right and was one of the Best Snorkel guides I've had and I've snorkeled all over the world. The reef was vibrant with lots of corral, fans, bursting with marine life. Tulu informed us on everything we were seeing. All variety of colorful fish, plant life, lobster, and even a small shark, which was rare to see around the reef itself. You also got to witness thousands of the birds laughing loudly on the island. You won't be disappointed on this snorkel or with Captain Jack's crew they were the best.

Rain or Shine - Must experience - This tour was outstanding and magical. My partner, friends, and I wanted to snorkel one of the reef ecosystems off of the Placencia area. We heard wonderful things about Captain Jak's and scheduled a half-day Snorkel. Originally, we planned on Moho Caye, but the weather was not in our favor. We brought the rain as it was storming. However, instead of canceling the tour, Captain Jak's recommended Laughing Bird Caye to ensure we still experienced the majesty of a coral reef ecosystem. The waves were rolling and the rain pelted our backs, but the views were incredible, the water was warm, and the reef was teeming with life. Our guide, Nic, was amazing. He would point out different species and teach us about them, elevating this from a basic snorkel trip to an interactive and discovery-filled adventure. Cannot recommend this enough. 5 stars.

If it ain’t Jak’s it’s wack! - Booking was easy AF. The team led by Kyle was on point . They accommodate absolutely anyone . Besides showing you all the marina life, they are as saftey minded as I’ve seen anyone be. Took great care of some of the less athletic folks on our tour . I’d say give Kyle and Everyone on his crew a raise.

Great coral - Had a tentative snorkeler with us. Our guide Tony took time to keep her comfortable and showed us lots of great coral and marine life. This trip is a good one for snorkelers who don't want to be committed to a long time in the water. You snorkle 45" or so, eat lunch, and go back out for another 30-45". If you get tired you can just swim to the beach. Ride out was choppy (the usual per crew) but Captain did a great job warning us where to sit. The ride home is smooth and views are lovely!

Snorkeling at Laughing Bird Caye - Called the day before we wanted to go snorkeling. They got us right on to a half day trip with three other people. We handled all liability waivers and payment online. The whole process was super fast and easy. Captain Jak's sent a driver and a cart to pick us up on time in the morning. Everyone that we dealt with at Captain Jak's was friendly and committed to making our snorkeling trip wonderful. Special gratitude to Captain Rick for his smooth boat ride to and from Laughing Bird Caye . Out snorkeling guide, Julian pointed out interesting fish and coral during our excursion. Both Rick and Julian were beyond 5 stars for customer experience and service. The highlight of our trip was coming face to mask with a young manatee. You won't be disappointed on a tour with Captain Jak's.

Laughing Key snorkelling tour - It was lovely seeing the colorful fish, nice coral and some nurse sharks (at the shore). The boat ride was choppy that day but Dean was an amazing navigator and extraordinary person to meet. Communication with Captain Jak's was easy and the office staff very friendly and helpful!

A little disappointing. - Rough seas made this tour less than a 5 star event. We wondered if it should have been cancelled, in retrospect. However, the guides couldn't have been better- taking extraordinary means to calm the worries of a young mother and care for two little ones on a challenging snorkel. They were superb. Coral and variety and numbers of fish were less than we expected.

Bad messaging - The y never showed up. Claimed they sent me a confirming text message but I never got it, so I didn’t respond, and they didn't show up. Trip Advisor DID confirm. My message to Capt Jack did not go through. Major mixup with communications.This is why I dislike booking via third parties. Full refund requested of course.
