1A full-day snorkeling trip from Placencia — swim with nurse sharks and turtles, lunch included on Moho Caye.
“Captain Nick and Carlos were fantastic! The snorkeling experience was incredible, and Moho Caye was beyond belief. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend Captain Jak's.”— awalters5
2Half-day tour with snorkeling gear provided — explore marine life at Laughing Bird Caye, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
“This snorkeling trip to Laughing Bird Caye was the best I've experienced. The island was stunning, just as you'd imagine a remote Caribbean location to be. The Splash Team, especially Duce and Kurzon, were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. The barbecue meal was excellent, scoring a perfect 10/10. Birdwatchers will love the pelicans and laughing gulls for great photo opportunities. I'm also grateful to Sharon for making the booking process easy. Keep up the fantastic work!”— Danny F
3Full-day trip from Placencia — snorkelling at Silk Caye with reef fish, rays, sharks, and turtles, including a visit to a local cleaning area.
“This experience was the highlight of my week. Splash and the entire team were extremely professional and attentive. They arranged hotel pickup, making everything run smoothly. Our trip featured snorkeling around the island, followed by a delicious homemade lunch and more snorkeling at the reef. On the return, we visited a well-known spot for turtles, stingrays, and nurse sharks. Erin's knowledge and engagement were impressive. I wholeheartedly recommend this experience; it was fantastic, and you will not be disappointed.”— Wendy_Z
4Three hours by boat — wildlife spotting along Monkey River, swimming opportunities, native lunch at Monkey River Village, and manatee watching on the return to Placencia.

5Two hours on a boat and guided rainforest hike — spot crocodiles, howler monkeys, and end with manatee watching on the return journey to Placencia.

6Three hours of snorkelling in Laughing Bird Caye's waters — guided exploration of marine life, followed by a local lunch and time to relax on the beach.
“We enjoyed an outstanding half-day excursion to Laughing Bird Caye. Get ready for extensive snorkeling, as you'll swim a good distance around the Caye. I've never encountered so much marine life on a snorkeling trip before. Additionally, we rented a golf cart from them, which was very convenient as they delivered it to our VRBO and handled the pickup.”— RussU2525
7Three-hour river tour with a local guide — spot Howler monkeys, toucans, and crocodiles, plus an authentic meal included.
“We participated in an excursion arranged by our resort. Our guide had great knowledge about the various species we encountered, including howler monkeys. Be sure to apply bug spray, and consider using coconut oil beforehand as you will be trekking through the jungle.”— ganyon
8Full day of fishing and snorkeling in Placencia, including cleaning and filleting your catch for takeaway.
“We had an amazing snorkeling experience with Edlin in 2019, so we returned with family in April 2021 to Laughing Bird with him again. We also enjoyed several days of fishing with Randolph, catching tuna, Spanish mackerel, and king mackerel. Our hotel prepared the fish, and we had a fantastic meal. It was an excellent experience, and we plan to return.”— Noahbegley
