Anda de wata tours

  We 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.

  Our family had an incredible day on the water with Captain Art, Zander, and Lahji. Captain Art took us to Hol Chan Marine Reserve, Shark Ray Alley, and the Wreck... read more for the best snorkeling we've ever experienced. Zander was a huge help and made sure our kids (7&10) were having a great time. Zander was our guide in the water and identified the beautiful fish and coral we were seeing. We were also able to find manatees which was an awesome surprise. Lunch at San Pedro was delicious, be sure to try the Belizean Lunch with stewed chicken. Lahji captured some amazing underwater photos to remind us of our wonderful day. And to top it off, a tasty tropical fruit platter after all the snorkeling! We'd highly recommend Anda De Wata to anyone, especially families looking for a great day on the water!

  What an incredible experience! We let them know what was important to us, and they made it happen. We appreciate their dedication to this. What an incredible ex

Highly recommend tours with them!!

  We went on a full day tour with Ian and Al and it was awesome. The guys were very nice. We saw so many fish, sharks, stingray and even a... read more manatee! We weren’t supposed to stop but Ian was very alert and saw a manatee so we dove right in. We could see that he loves his job. Al also took many photos and videos of us under the water with the GoPro and we had access to those after the activity. We really enjoyed our day, thanks a lot!

  All encounters as promised. A special thanks to Cap. Artur, Carlos and the young guy whit the "born to dive" tattoo!! Great experience!!

  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!

  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!

  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.

  We 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!

  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.

  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!

  Best snorkeling tour on Caye Caulker! Captain Art showed us many great spots to swim with nurse sharks, sting rays, turtles and colorful fish! What a great experience! We had... read more loads of fun on the half and full day tour 🙂 Highly recommend both tours!
Big + because the crew took loads of underwater photos with their GoPro and we all got them for free!

  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

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.

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.

  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!!

  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 is the second time I’ve done this tour and it was amazing once again! We saw so much wonderful sea life and coral. I think this tour is really... read more unique because it stops for lunch on Ambergris Caye (which is really nice!) and also allows you to download all the photos of the tour into your phone afterwards. Shout out to our captain Artie who was great and super knowledgeable!
