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!!
04/14/2019We 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.
06/24/2022We went on a cruise and took a water taxi out to the island. We walked right up and were able to go out on the boat in only twenty... read more minutes. It was just the four of us and we were all impressed with Captain Art. He was super knowledgeable and friendly and was able to show us so much under the water! We got almost 200 photos and he gave them all to us for no extra charge. We said we needed to take the water taxi back at 1:30 and he took us directly back to the taxi dock - it was so efficient and a really nice extra step. 10/10, you won’t regret it. We would do it again in a heartbeat!

The price for this trip was more than fair. If you love rum punch this is the adventure for you. And I caught a small grouper, as well!
01/01/2022I 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!

Most places are still closed due to covid, but we worked with the hotel to put together a group for a snorkel trip. It was a beautiful day on the... read more reef. Everyone — from an experienced diver to a nervous snorkeler — had a wonderful time. The guides were knowledgeable without hovering. There were four stops planned, and our guides added a fifth when they spotted a pair of manatees. Just magical. The price did a full-day trip includes a box lunch, drinks, snacks and a great set of photos dropped to your phone. Highly recommend Anda De Wata.
10/22/2020My 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!!
11/01/2021I 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.

I booked two tours with Anda da Wata: night snorkeling and the Hol Chen all day snorkel. Kat and Art were great making sure all the details were taken care... read more of. The night snorkel enabled me to see lobsters and crabs as well as squid, even an eel.
The all day trip included a trip to the reef, several snorkels and lunch on San Pedro. Hights included shark alley and the coral reef. The crew were fun and knowledgeable. Definitely would go again
12/10/2021We went on 2 separate snorkeling tours from Caye Caulker with "Under the water tours" ( with a creole accent that sounds like Ande De Wata Tours ). Both... read more trips were great. The first was a half day, and the second was a full day. The half day was perfect way to start since we were tired from traveling, but still wanted to see some amazing underwater life as soon as we arrived on the caye. We were the only 4 on the boat that afternoon, so it was like a private tour, Their boat is fast, and we spent very little time from the dock to the first snorkel site. In fact, we zipped between the 3 destinations, leaving lots of time to snorkel. Colorful fish and coral everywhere. And our guide ( and one of the owners ) Art, is pleasant and patient, as we have different skill levels in our family. A couple days later we called at 7:30am to see if we could book the full day snorkel trip to Hol Chan Marine Preserve that day. And there was room for the 4 of us. In fact, there were only 2 other people booked for that day, so again, it felt like an almost private tour. While other tour providers had 10-20 people bobbing in the water trying to all stay together, Art had the 6 of us deftly dodging those groups and getting to the good spots away from the crowds. That full-day trip to Hol Chan was the highlight of our 12 days in Belize. The ocean that day was calm, almost glass, and the underwater rays from the sun bathed the bottom in a rainbow of colors. We saw everything, fish, coral, sting ray, nurse sharks, and turtles. It was the perfect day for our family. With pineapple and rum served-up on the quick ride home. A couple days later i dropped by the office and within a couple minutes, i had over 200 hi-def photos air-dropped onto my iphone that Art took while we snorkeled.
01/01/2022I did the full day snorkeling tour for the 2nd time and will continue to use them when I am in Belize. Can't say enough good things about the Captain... read more and guides.

02/01/2022My 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!
04/17/2019Night snorkeling was incredible! This tour and all of their crew were super accommodating in making a last minute trip happen and truly wanted us to see everything we possibly... read more could "anda da wata" at night. Even after I lagged too far behind and missed seeing two octopuses, my guide was determined to find me one – and he did! RIGHT before we got back on the boat. We saw it all, even surprisingly bioluminescent plankton! Just a forewarning unrelated to the company itself, don't wear a one piece bathing suit – tiny translucent fish that swarm the waters at night, especially around squid, can get stuck in your suit and lead to a traumatizing after-dive shower... But for sure use this company and go night snorkeling! They even take and will send you a bunch of complimentary Go Pro footage!

Kat 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.
12/01/2021My 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.

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!

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!!

There were several stops and different things to see each time. Shark Ray Alley was the best and the lunch on San Pedro was great.

To top off a great tour Art did a magnificent job as a cameraman- providing us with pics to seal the memories.
