Full Day Snorkeling with Medz and Jeffrey - My family of four, including two older teenage daughters, had an amazing full day snorkeling tour with Medz and Jeffrey. We stopped at three snorkeling spots on the reef, which were all very active and vibrant. Jeffrey accompanied us in the water and pointed out marine life to us. We were able to see nurse sharks, breathtaking spotted eagle rays, barracuda, beautiful fish and coral. Then we stopped at Bread and Butter Caye for the absolute best and freshest lunch ever: snapper ceviche, grilled lobster and barracuda- all speared by Medz that afternoon. I truly wish I could have that for lunch every day! Medz and Jeffrey are friendly, knowledgeable and it’s obvious that they truly love what they do! I would absolutely recommend taking the snorkeling tour with this enthusiastic team.

Just the second time snorkeling and Jeffrey took the time allowing me to float and get comfortable on the shore of the south water caye so going out i felt so relaxed! Saw eagle rays and nurse shark and lots of fish and coral! It was a relaxing boat ride, always felt safe, and he knew all the fish and coral! Love Get to Know Belize Travel they treat you like you are part of their family!

Amazing first time snorkeling experience!! - I did a full day snorkeling tour of the Hopkins barrier reef with Matt and Jeffrey. They were so welcoming and very knowledgeable of the marine life. They allowed me to join a group of 5 as a single snorkeler when I called to book a week in advance. It was my first time snorkeling in the ocean and they made me feel safe and comfortable. They provided time for practice in shallow water prior to snorkeling in the reef areas. They made sure everyone's gear fit well and had an anti fog solution for our goggles. We spent about 30 minutes in 3 different snorkeling spots. Our captain, Matt, had such lively energy playing music in the boat and it was easy to see his passion for his job and the ocean. We visited Bread and Butter Caye for a delicious lunch with various appetizers including fresh fruit, banana bread, chips and salsa before the main course! There were many options but my favorite was the fish that Matt caught spear fishing. 5/5 stars they helped me have the best first experience snorkeling and I would definitely go back!

Medz and Jeff will elevate your snorkel excursion beyond any expectation! - Our full day snorkeling trip with Medz and Jeff was incredible! We couldn’t have been happier. From the moment we got on the boat they were friendly and excited to have us on board. They made an effort to get to know us - share their lives with us as well! Both were so knowledgeable, showing a true passion for their job, their village, and the ocean gift they were sharing. Our lunch on Bread and Butter was SO GOOD - and again Medz and Jeff sat with us, we all shared stories, and truly felt like we had been friends for years! THEY made our trip! We encountered (safely) sharks, sting rays, beautiful fish, and reefs full of beauty! We left knowing so much more about the reefs, and the ongoing efforts to keep them beautiful! If you take this excursion - request these two - you won’t be sorry!

Great tours! We booked 3! - We actually did three tours with Bucket List/get to know Belize. And everyone was fantastic! highly recommend the half-day snuggling visiting the case which also do a drive-by bird Island. Another amazing was ATV to the waterfall and lastly bio luminescence tour, which was surreal! Every part of the staff was more than happy to take photos and be there for your every need!

Great snorkeling with Theodore - Our family, grandad, daughter, granddaughter and friend did the half-day snorkeling tour. I've done snokeling in St.Thomas and the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. Get to know Belize was the best! Despite choppy waters, the crew was very helpful to make sure it went well. They had us try out snorkeling first near shore and then took us out to two locations in the barrier reef. Staff carefully helped ensure the equipment fitted well. Theodore got in the water with us and guided us to the best spots and pointed out many interesting marine creatures. He was careful, accommodating, knowledgeable with a good sense of humor. Our whole family was very pleased!

Nice time - Plenty of snorkel time over coral reefs featuring numerous tropical fish. The provided equipment performed well. Guides were courteous, observant to weather and guests. On return they slowed & stopped the boat to allow us to observe dolphins.
