Fantastically Wicked Time! - Let me start by saying this was not my first time in San Pedro; however, it was hands down my favorite time visiting, which was largely due to the incredible excursion we had with Wicked Adventures!! Poncho and Garrett picked us up outside of our condo and took us on a wonderful adventure where we got to snorkel Hol Chan and Shark Ray Alley, which both were enough to make my little heart happy but that was nowhere near the highlights of the trip! Poncho and Garrett were able to help me cross a bucket list item off my list and found two amazing manatees for us to swim with! INCREDIBLE!! We then spend some time in Caye Caulker which was absolutely lovely, we then went to feed the tarpon (super fun!) and to round things off they brought us to the sea horse garden; therefore, checking another thing off my list by getting to see a sea horse!! I will always recommend Wicked Adventures to all who visit San Pedro and will return to have some more fun with you guys! Thank you for an unforgettable time!! 💜

AMAZING experience spending the day with Wicked Adventures 🤩 - Alex and his crew do it the best ! Poncho and Garrett were so fun ! Professional, on time and they led us to all the sports so we can get the most out of our day - we snorkeled, swam with the manatees, relaxed on the boat, fed the tarpons, visited caye caulker and ate all the good food … thanks to them for giving us a memorable Thanksgiving 🧡

Perfect Day - My 84 yo mother and I were so well taken care of by Poncho and Kanton. If you’re on the fence on whether to do a private tour… just do it! We hit all the highlights, never felt rushed, and they were a wealth of info. Thanks guys!

Lovely experience, kind guides, awesome sea life ! - My husband and I went on a tour with Alex and Julio and had an amazing time. We enjoyed Hol Chan, saw 3 (!) manatees and spent at least 20 mins following them around, enjoyed Caye Caulker, saw sea horses, and fed tarpon. It was great all around. The boat was comfortable, Alex and Julio shared tons of information along the way, and they were able to arrange it for us very last minute. I highly recommend them. We were going to go with our hotel’s dive shop but based upon the large group size, and lack of room engagement from the dive shop staff, we were very happy to have gone with Wicked Adventures of Belize instead. Highly, highly recommend!

HolChan, Caye Caulker, Seahorse Spotting - First excursion in Belize and it couldn't have gone better. Alex and David were the perfect guides. It was my girlfriend's first time ever snorkeling and Alex was incredibly patient and helpful. Their local knowledge and fantastic personalities made the day so much better. I absolutely will use them the next time I am in Belize.

Amazing - Pancho and Greg made sure we saw a lot of Belize sea life. It was a beautiful day on the reef and Caye Caulker. My son got to jet ski for the first time so that was a lot of fun while on Caye Caulker. Each snorkel spot was beautiful and unique AND these guys have a knack for getting you there before the crowds. It was such a fun day from start to finish.

Such a great time! - Alex and Julio were absolutely amazing, making sure our trip was fun and packed with activities. They taught my teens how to fish, helped them get comfortable to swim with the sharks and manatee, and took us to an amazing spot in Caye Caulker to cook up the fish we caught. Aside from enjoying the awesome activities the crew had planned for us, Alex and Julio were simply amazing company.

Adventure of a lifetime!! - We had an extraordinary time with Wicked Adventures! It was the most impressive service we’ve had on a vacation, hence the long review. There is no way we would have had such an incredible time if it was not for this company. Most of the tour companies will offer similar experiences. However, our tour guides always went above and beyond. Our guides were Alex and Jhoan. It was really first-rate service. I cannot possibly list out all the extra things they did for us to make the trip magical. They were young, energetic, positive and funny, and they always made my young daughters feel safe and at ease. The constant positivity, friendliness, and energy brought so much fun to the trip. They were able to help my 77-year-old mother in and out of the boat and pull her around on the snorkel trips. They were so knowledgeable. They could find anything in the water from wildlife to shipwrecks. They found beautiful seashells for my mother. They would dive down deep for long periods of time and find all kinds of underwater life, from eels to seahorses, to barracuda. They always seemed to know when I wish I could have some footage of the family and they would take my GoPro and swim around us. They were always flexible, doing whatever we wanted to do. When we wanted to change our plans and go back to Hol Chan and to feed the sharks, they were able to do it. Everywhere we went, people knew them, and they were able to quickly get chum for the sharks. They were always responsive to chats and emails. I have an email chain over 60 emails long (because I’m very particular)! They did so many other things, but I don’t want to list them all. I’m sure every adventure is different. But I would not want to go out without them. We did four excursions with them which included Hol Chan, rays, sharks, finding a manatee, finding a turtle, coral gardens, Mexico rocks, Caye Caulker, visiting two shipwrecks, a cave where cold fresh water was coming up, night snorkeling, and feeding tarpons. Their boats were very clean and well-maintained. Some of our trips we were on their larger boat. A couple of times we were on their smaller boat, but it was still quite spacious for the five of us.

Learned so much and so fun - We went on a full day tour of snorkeling (Shark Ray Alley and Hol Chan), Caye Caulker, manatee spotting and a few other activities. It was well worth it to go with these guides. Sheldon took us out and he gave us a ton of history about the island and all of the spots we hit. I had taken the same tour with a different operator the previous year and though we saw the same attractions, we didn’t learn anything about the culture of the island or the geography. It added a lot to the tour. I recommend these guys.

Personalized and Fantastic - Hard to summarize how great these guides are, but I'll try! This is our 2nd time booking w/ Wicked Adventures of Belize; the first was 2020 and this one was just as amazing as the last! Our first time doing Hol Chan, we were a little nervous, but Alex & Pancho put us at ease and led us every step of the way! We saw creatures and coral we've never seen before and Pancho knew EVERY SINGLE ONE! He took the time to point out unique features or marine life and gave us history and cultural background information as well. As a self-defined nerd, I loved it- Highly recommend this company and ALL their staff, we love seeing them each time we visit and communication via email or other channel is extremely responsive and can adjust if weather had any impact on the day's schedule. Thanks, again, guys! We can't wait to book another trip w/ you, SOON! On our trip was saw Hol Chan, Shark Alley/Sting Rays, and were lucky enough to spot a turtle, manatee, and hand fed the tarpon and visited the protected Seahorse area on Caye Caulker. So worth the whole day of events!
