I can not recommend these guys enough! We did the night snorkel and hol Chan tour. Guides were very knowledgeable, fun, and personable! They really went out... read more of their way to make sure everyone had an amazing experience. Even let my friend and I wear their tshirts in the water when our backs were getting burned! They also take photos of you and the underwater creatures durring the trip and send them to you after so that you don't have to worry about taking photos yourself. Go with these guys! You wont have regrets!

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!!
05/04/2019We were having a difficult time finding a tour company to take us to Lamanai during the slow season - several companies didn’t have enough guests to offer the 12... read more hour excursion. We stumbled upon Anda De Wata after being referred from the tour company across the street.
I really wish I remember her name, but the woman at the office on Nov 28 was SO nice. She explained the tour in detail, and the company arranged water taxi tickets, ground transportation, and tour admission for us.
Our taxi driver, Richard, was super informative. After the water taxi, he picked us up from the terminal and took us on the hour or so drive to Orange Walk. He pointed out tons of points of interest and offered a lot of knowledge about Belize City. When we arrived in Orange Walk, we met our tour guide, Eduardo who took us on an hour jungle cruise to Lamanai.
Eduardo’s tour was absolutely fantastic. Can’t recommend him enough. He took us to all the points of interest and taught us so much about the local ecosystem. You can tell he really cares about Belize and the environment.
The tour was the highlight of our trip - Anda De Wata was so great at arranging it for us even during slow season!

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.

We booked a tour to Lamanai and while all went well, I would look for a different company next time. The main problem was the transportation from Belize water taxi... read more to the riverboat part of the tour. For private transportation and $150 per person I had expected a nice tour van with a guide. instead we were handed off to a taxi driver and had to squeeze in with another couple - 3 of us across the back seat of a very old sedan. I am 5’2” and barely had knee room in the back behind the drivers seat. The interior door handles were missing and the car almost bottomed out on every bump. The driver was perfectly nice but it was a very uncomfortable hour drive each way.
Lamanai was nice and lunch was very yummy. Our boat almost crashed into another speeding boat on the drive back and we were very rushed through the site on our tour. It was a lot of travel that day - 3+ hours from Caye Caulker to Lamanai - for an okay site and river tour. Maybe more exciting for someone who hasn’t been on a Florida river but otherwise it’s pretty much the same. Wouldn’t do it again.
03/07/2020This was my second time snorkeling with Captain Art and Anda De Wata Tours. I had a phenomenal time once again and was able to swim with a manatee... read more for the first time! Incredible experience all-around. I highly recommend trying the night dive or Hol Chan day trip. Best of all, Kat and Art provide high quality pictures that are taken with an underwater camera by one of their qualified staff. This was included free of charge. Very nice touch.
07/06/2022We had an amazing experience with Anda De Wata Tours. We had a super relaxing and gorgeous time during the Island Tubing - the rum punch was delicious and the... read more water temp and boat speed was perfect for a sunset cruise.
The next day we enjoyed a full day tour and saw just about every creature under the water possible! Captain Chuckie knew exactly where to take us and was excellent in teaching us about the sea life and what we saw. Lunch on San Pedro was just right. The food was yummy Belizean food and was just the right amount of time on that island.
I highly recommend Anda De Wata to anyone visiting Belize. The staff was friendly and accommodating from start of inquiry to receiving pictures after the snorkeling trip. The pictures alone are worth it! They made it so easy to enjoy the tour and not worry about taking pics of each other - they did that for us! All around a wonderful experience and I highly recommend them.

07/01/2021We did the “booze tube” at sunset and had an ABSOLUTE blast. Easy, reasonably priced, and a fantastic end to any day in Caye Caulker. Rum punch was delicious, sunset... read more was gorgeous, and the experience was delightful. Would absolutely recommend to anyone.
10/18/2021I 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

My friend and I booked a half day snorkeling trip with Captain Art and Cruz. They met us at the water taxi dock where we had arrived from San Pedro.... read more We snorkeled at 3 different sites. There were other boats in the area but we were anchored away from them so we never crossed paths with snorkelers from other boats. This was a huge plus! When we got to the nurse sharks we didn't have to compete with others to see them! The coral gardens are beautiful. After our 3rd site we came up to a very nicely arranged fresh fruit tray. The pineapple was outstanding. They had a couple of additional surprises for us when we arrived back at Caye Caulker but I don't want to spoil it for you. Captain Art is very personable and knowledgeable about the reef system and its inhabitants. It's a very personalized and relaxing tour. We were provided with good equipment. All of the other tour boats had at least 20 people. That's too crowded for my liking. I highly recommend Anda da Wata!!
11/01/2021Amazing 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.

Our hotel Colinda Cabana arranged for our whole day snorkeling trip with Anda da wata tours. Our hotel dock was right next their boat dock so from our room... read more we just walked over. We were greeted by Captain Art and skipper Barry. Art gave us a briefing of how our day will unfold. Which was very helpful as I get a little anxious in the water. The gear were clean and in great condition. He took us to so many snorkeling sites, and was very attentive to us. The corals and sea life in Belize are truly amazing. He took us to Hol Chan, Shark Alley, a wreck site and even stopped to find manatees. We had fresh cold water and drinks in the cooler. He also took us to San Pedro for lunch and had time to explore the island for a little bit. He had a go pro and took great picture of us in the water. Art is the way to go when you want to snorkel!
08/01/2021Kat and Art have a great set of tours available along with a friendly, helpful and fun staff. We went on the full day Hol Chan snorkeling tour with... read more a midday lunch stop at San Pedro, as well as an evening tubing float with rum punch. Both were really fun and we felt pampered the entire time. Their snorkeling equipment is high quality too so don't bother buying your own in advance, they'll take care of you! And they provided a number of nice touches like a fruit platter during a break in the snorkeling, rum punch, underwater pictures of our group, all included in the price! Nothing but good things to say about this company and will definitely look them up on our next visit.
12/01/2021We had the best day today with Anda de wata! The full day snorkeling tour was an amazing trip and our guides were amazing! Lunch was great and we saw... read more turtles, rays, sharks and many colorful fish! And a small group! Definitely would recommend to everyone!

03/12/2023After 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.
