Awesome trip!
This was an incredible experience - taking a boat 2.5 hours into the ocean to snorkel a reef was not something I had done before and it was exhilarating. Halfmoon Caye was incredibly beautiful and was a comfortable place to stop for lunch. All the food served was incredible - we had a full breakfast spread of fruit, coffee, and banana bread before we left and the lunch (especially the coconut pie!) ... more was fantastic. The only minor complaint I had was that our snorkels would take on a lot of water (there were two of us and we both had this experience with our snorkels)- I did not have this experience with gear on another tour. The crew were personable and professional - they stopped the boat when we observed dolphins and whales. They also played music and checked in with us often. This was an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime trip and I recommend it heartily.

Great trip
We snorkeled and had an amazing time. The guides were great and there was a guide specifically for the snorkelers. The lunch was great. It is a long way out and back with rough seas depending on weather but I would definitely recommend this trip. They even picked us up from our resort by water for free. Half moon cay was the prettiest water we have ever seen out of all our Caribbean area travels.

Bucket list for sure!
Wowsa! An absolutely incredible day! From the pick up at our dock, to fresh banana bread (thx capitán!) even the 2 hour trip out there, we say mama & baby dolphins! While at the 3 snorkeling locations, Chris helped us see so many fish, rays, puffers, lobster, coral, & even a baby reef shark! I can’t even imagine any way that the day could’ve been better. On the way home we even saw whales!! Lunch ... more was delicious too. You will not be sad at the end of this day!!

Snokelling in the Blue Hole
The reef in the area is very beautiful with different types of corals (better than the reef closer to the coast) which makes the snorkelling an unforgettable experience. Staff on the boat is very polite and professional .
