Anda de wata tours

  I guess we did the best choice with this tour. We had a really great day, they know how to get the best of every place and made it funny... read more too. We got to see turtles, eagle rays, stingrays, loads of nurse sharks, manatees and even dolphins.

  We originally booked a full-day trip, but had to settle for a half-day trip due to a miscommunication about our card being pre-charged and then me not bringing it to... read more the island with us from Belize City. I packed as light as I could for the trip. Any how, all turned out perfect and the half-day trip was perfect. Our guides, Vick and Zander, were very knowledgeable about all of the sea life on the reef and were very patient with a family that joined us on the tour with two small children. The fruit snacks were amazing, the underwater sights were to die for, and teh guide service was top notch! I'd book with this company again in a heart beat!

  I have to start by saying that "we" were my 5 years old daughter and myself. It is funny cuz I did not expect to go with that company at... read more all! I had a tour book with a reef friendly company and they choked us in the morning. My little one and I started to walk around and it was fully booked everywhere we asked, or people didn't wanna deal with a 5 years old... And we found Anda De Wata Tour. We were warmly welcomed and we felt the good vibe of the place. So, we did at first the full day snorkeling and I was scared it would be too long for my little one. But with the help of the crew, she did awesome and loved it so much, we came back the next day to do the half day tour. Both days were amazing. They took time to explain everything we were seeing and the guide took my baby with him all the time -- which gave mommy a much appreciated little break 😛 They have a private photographer and he took crazy good pictures. All I can say is thank you Anda De Wata Tour's for two amazing and special day snorkeling. Good memories will for sure stay with us for a very long time. I recommend this company without any hesitation. More

  After doing a half day snorkel trip with a different company we knew we wanted to do more snorkeling but not visit all the places they stop. So we booked... read more a private 3 hour trip with Anda De Wata. It was amazing! John showed us so many different corals, plant and underwater life. We felt fortunate to be with a guide who obviously has a passion for sharing his knowledge. We were so lucky to see a Spotted Eagle Ray (he was very patient when I sort of scooted up beside him because I was a little scared of the ray!), but our absolute favourite was the Yellowline Arrow Crab! Thanks for a great afternoon, it was a highlight of our trip.

  My friends and I were on a bachelorette party in Belize and we booked our snorkeling excursion through Anda De Wata. Our experience was nothing short of top notch excellent... read more customer service from the time we checked in at the booth and got fitted for gear, to the time we were dropped off at our dock. Captain Art and Xander were both knowledgeable, passionate and courteous and they truly made our experience unforgettable. I loved that they provided free photos with their own gopros and delivered the photos immediately after the excursion ended. I wish Art and Xander could've hung out with our crew for the remainder of the Belize trip. They were that amazing!! Also, Art's wife handled greeting us at the booth and when we took the ferry back to the mainland. I didn't catch her name, but she is also a sweet sweet lady who helped ensure our experience was great!

Overall, if you come to Belize, you MUST book a trip with these guys or else you'll regret it!!

  This was our second day of snorkeling and we loved it! This operator had equipment in good repair, was respectful to the wildlife, very good at identifying the aquatic life... read more around us, had a better method than the first operator for attracting nurse sharks and sting rays to us to interact with, provided a beautiful fruit tray to enjoy after snorkeling, was straightforward in their pricing and offered a cash discount and took pictures of the fish while we just enjoyed snorkeling. Highly recommend tours with them!!

  My boyfriend and I did the full day snorkeling package which was $160 USD for the two of us. The two man team that took us out were very knowledgeable... read more about the areas that we were snorkeling and their camera was awesome, so we got some incredible pictures of the turtles and sharks as part of the package. The two guides were also good at judging which areas would be crowded and they adjusted our schedule accordingly. This allowed us to have a lot more interactions with the wildlife. I actually liked Belize’s barrier reef more than the section of the Great Barrier Reef I dove on this time last year. Lunch was a modest portion size which left me content, but my 6’0 Airman required a snack/2nd lunch. Also, don’t wear a cute bathing suit wear a t-shirt and shorts!! My boyfriend and I put on sunscreen but we still got very burned because of getting in and out of the water frequently. It was also a full day of direct sunlight as we floated on top of the water. All in all an exceptional experience! I would highly recommend this company and the full day package!

  I took 24 students from Ambergris Caye on the Manatee tour. We loved our guides but overall the experience was good but not great. In our case it... read more was a bad decision to do the tour from San Pedro on Ambergris Caye because the boat ride is nearly 2 hours to and from the Manatee reserve. The boat you are taking is a high speed boat but its a lot of time speeding around in the sun on uncomfortable seating. In hindsight, do this tour from Belize city or perhaps Caye Cauker.

As for the tour, the manatee visit was what is advertised but for our students not that exciting as you are not swimming with the manatee, just watching them surface (noses out of the water). After this part of the tour we went to Golf Caye for lunch which is very nice and you can snorkel from here as the reef is connected to the Caye. The snorkel was great and the guides great at showing us things but as this was the first time some of our teens had ever snorkeled it would have helped if the guides had ensured that the masks correctly fitted each student and that kids had a little more instruction on how to use the equipment. Perhaps separate the groups and have the experienced folks go in one group and the first timers go in a second group after 10 minutes more of one-on-one instruction.

Lunch was good but other tours have provided more food. After lunch we rode the two hours back to ambergris Caye and because we had to be back by 5pm we missed doing a second snorkel that was supposed to be included. Was if our fault not to know that the long boat ride would impact our ending time for this tour or should the tour company have made this more clear? Probably a little of both. When you book don’t make our mistakes and consider doing this tour from Belize City.

  We visited Belize from June 16-22, 2019 on a family vacation of 8. We decided to snorkel on Caye Caulker with ADW tour of the Marine Reserve, stingray & nurse... read more sharks and Coral Gardens. What an amazing experience for all of us!! John, Chuckie and Dondreon (photographer) were super friendly and extremely helpful for those that were snorkeling for their first time. We saw a manatee (a rarity there), beautiful marine life, a conch shell nursery, a moray eel, exquisite coral, stingrays, nurse sharks up close and personal, and the tarpon fish near "the split" of the island. Included in the $45 deal were the downloadable pictures from our own trip....WHAT A BONUS!! We LOVED the trip and highly recommend their tour for any excursion of Caye Caulker!

  Thank you to Lexi and our guide Richard. While we enjoyed our experiences thoroughly, having a personal guide to transport and export us from location to location was key.... read more Plus, we had great conversation. Thanks so much. Can't wait to do it again.

  My wife, son, and I had a full day snorkeling trip to Goff Caye. Ours guides were Didron and Chucky. Both guides were knowledgeable and professional. The reef was spectacular.... read more While we were snorkeling, Chucky prepared a tasty BB-Q lunch.

  For the $65USD per person you get the best snorkeling trip on the island with a great lunch included. It's BYOB on the boat so I recommend grabbing a bottle... read more of cheap rum and some mixers. They'll provide the cooler. More

  Great experience. Great price. Great everything.

AMAZING PHOTOS!! Very happy with this free added bonus. No one else was offering this service, and were charging the same price!... read more />
Andy and underwater photographer Didrum were our guides and both very enthusiastic and professional.

Loved it. Highly recommended.

  Super easy to work with and fun. These guys have their act together. They tried to make everyone feel comfortable in the water and the guides were knowledgeable and... read more skilled. One of the best parts they took tons of underwater photos and then uploaded them to our phones. Very cool especially when most of our time was “anda de wata” give them a try!

  Amazing full day tour snorkelling. All equipment included, water and fresh fruits and a yummy lunch in San Pedro. 5 dives with a highlight of shark rat alley. We saw... read more three different types of turtles and also saw stingrays. John and his crew were fantastic explaining everything throughout the day. A definite highlight was getting our pictures at the end of the day which is included in the price. Can highly recommend.

  We just had an amazing full day snorkeling with this company and it was incredible!

Compared to the other operators offering the same, and at the same price,... read more this won hands down.

The equipment was included, good and well maintained.

What swung it for me was that the photographer was included in the price.... and the photos are AMAZING!!!

Our guide Andy and underwater photographer Didrum were very professional and highly knowledgeable.

They were both happy, funny and friendly characters, enthusiastic about their work and island. It really makes a difference to the trip when the guides have a happy energy about them.

Our active 7 year old had only just learnt to swim, and they were amazing with him, patient and interested in his experience. This was his first time snorkeling, and to do so with sharks, turtles, rays, a manatee and a multiverse of fish and coral species made it a journey of a lifetime, and even maybe a future passion and profession...

We stopped at San Pedro Island, had a very good lunch which was included in the price.

I highly recommend this conservation conscious company, and a trip to Hol Chan Reserve, Shark Ray Alley and Coral Gardens.

Thank you to all the staff, you are wonderful. Thank you.
