Schnorcheln Sie mit Turtles, Rays und Sharks auf der Perfect Tropical Isle Silk Caye





Beschreibung
Silk Cayes ist ein Meeresschutzgebiet, das aus 3 kleinen Inseln besteht, die früher als Queen Cayes bekannt waren. Dieses Meeresreservat beherbergt über 25 Arten von Rifffischen mit einer Vielzahl von Korallen und anderen Meereslebewesen! Der Silk Caye ist aufgrund seiner Lage und seines Schutzstatus eines der gesündesten Gebiete im Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System. Es ist ein großartiges Ziel zum Schnorcheln, Tauchen oder einfach einen Tag auf der Insel zu verbringen! Schnorchler erkunden die Riffe rund um die Inseln. Taucher erkunden die Barriereriffwand und andere Tauchplätze, die die Silk Cayes zu bieten haben. Als Bonus hat jeder kurz vor seiner Rückkehr nach Placencia die Möglichkeit, mit Rochen, Haien und (normalerweise) riesigen Schildkröten in einem Gebiet zu schnorcheln, in dem die örtlichen Fischer ihren Fang säubern - wenn die Tiere die Bootsmotoren hören, denken sie, es sei Essenszeit und zum Tauchboot kommen.

My wife and I had an unforgettable day at Silk Caye. She snorkeled while I dived, and we shared a pleasant trip together on the boat and on the island at lunchtime. We saw all the wildlife we good have hoped for. Oliver was a great dive master.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us—we’re very pleased to hear you both had such a memorable day at Silk Caye. It’s great that you were able to enjoy the trip together while doing different activities, and still connect during the boat ride and over lunch on the island. That balance is something we aim to make seamless for couples and families. We’re especially glad you saw all the wildlife you were hoping for—that’s always a highlight of the Silk Caye experience. I’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Oliver; he’ll appreciate the recognition. Thank you again for choosing to spend your day with us. We hope to welcome you both back for more adventures in the future.
Breathtaking experience. My daughter and I had an incredible experience at Silk Caye with the splash dive team snorkeling. We so so much beautiful coral and fish. Then we went to last spot of the day hoping to catch sight of a sea turtle, sharks and an Eagle Ray and we were lucky enough to see all 3 within minutes of entering the water. The staff at Splash Dive were so knowledgeable and kind. We will never forget this experience! Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience—we’re very happy to hear you and your daughter had such a memorable day at Silk Caye. That bonus snorkel excursion on the way back is always a great spot to see sea turtles, sharks, and eagle rays all in one stop—that’s always a special moment out on the reef. We’re also glad you enjoyed the coral and fish at this marine reserve. Your kind comments about our team mean a lot. Providing a knowledgeable, supportive, and welcoming environment is something we take seriously, and it’s great to know that came through during your trip. Thank you again for joining us—we hope to welcome you both back for another day on the water in the future.
We did three tours with Splash during our time in Placencia (2 Adults + 2 children aged 7&10), and they were all fantastic. - Firstly we went snorkeling at Laughing Bird Caye (with Kiran and Sigourney, who did such a great job). Saftey equipment was provided, the team were great with the children, and we all had so much fun. - Our second trip was Monkey River with Ian as our guide. He was fantastic and we saw loads of cool things. Really intersting guide who managed to keep both adults and kids well engaged! - Our last trip was another snorkle, this time to Silk Cayes. It was saving the best until last for sure. It is about a hour out to the site by boat, but in my mind well worth it - and the kids loved being out on the boat so the time passed quickly. This time we have Karzon Santos as out guide, and he was great. Again safety was strong with vests for the kids so they did not tire - we saw lots of cool things and Karzon was really informative and enthusiastic about the nature of Belize. Ian was also on the trip with some divers (from the Monkey River Tour the day prior) and educated the kids on the issue of Lion Fish and showed them some he had caught. Fantastic entertainment and education rolled into one! Surfice to say we had a wonderful few trips with Splash, and would definitely recommend them. Reliable, safe, knowledgable and friendly. (Final shout out for Kendrick who we met in the main office, his enthusiasm and friendly nature makes him a great asset to the team - you couldn't help but leave happy after a chat with him!)
WOW! This is a great review in both the sense that it is very positive and very detailed and covers the tour experienes in a very complete way. Thank you for taking the time to share. We’re very pleased to hear your family enjoyed all three tours with us. I am happy to hear that your trip to Laughing Bird Caye with Kiran and Sigourney set the tone, and that they helped make the experience both fun and comfortable for your children. We’re equally glad you had such a positive outing on Monkey River with Ian—he has a real talent for making the wildlife and surroundings engaging for all ages. Saving Silk Cayes for last is never a bad strategy, and it’s good to hear it lived up to expectations. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Karzon Santos as well. He, along with Ian, takes pride in sharing knowledge about Belize’s marine life—especially important topics like lionfish—so it’s rewarding to hear that came through in a way that was both educational and enjoyable for your kids. We also appreciate the mention of Kendrick at the office. First impressions matter, and we’re glad he helped start your experience on a positive note. Thank you again for recommending us. It was a pleasure having your family with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Placencia in the future.
This was the highlight of my week! Splash was very professional and the entire team was very attentive. They coordinated pickup from our hotel and made everything seamless. Our trip included snorkeling around the island, then a break for a homemade delicious lunch, back to snorkeling out at the reef. On the way back, we stopped at a popular spot known for turtles, stingrays and nurse sharks. Erin was very knowledgeable and engaging! I could possibly recommend more! This was a great time and I highly recommend! You won’t be disappointed!
Thank you, Wendy, for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We’re very pleased to hear that your day with Splash Dive Center was the highlight of your week. It’s great to know that the team made everything feel seamless from hotel pickup through to the end of the trip, and that you enjoyed both the snorkeling and the homemade lunch on the island. Silk Caye and the surrounding reef are special places, and we’re glad you were able to experience such a variety of marine life—including the turtles, rays, and nurse sharks on the way back. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind comments to Erin; she’ll appreciate hearing that her knowledge and approach made a difference to your day. Thank you again for your recommendation. We hope to welcome you back for another great day on the water in the future.
Great caring and professional team. Always ready to advise and guide. The spots are amazing. The material is of good quality. A guide will introduce you to the flora and fauna, a second ensures safety. The captain manages the promenade , which is unforgettable. Only downside... the meal is light. Have an extra snack as physical activity at sea stimulates appetite.
Thank you very much for your thoughtful review. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the day with our team and that you appreciated their professionalism, guidance, and attention throughout the trip. It’s great to know that you enjoyed the snorkeling spots, the quality of the equipment, and the way the team works together so that one guide focuses on marine life while another ensures everyone’s safety, while the captain takes care of a smooth and enjoyable ride. Thank you as well for your comment about the lunch. We appreciate the feedback and will take it into considerationfor future guests to bring an extra snack, as a day in the sea definitely builds an appetite. We hope to welcome you again for another unforgettable day on the water. Merci beaucoup pour votre commentaire élogieux. Nous sommes ravis d'apprendre que vous avez passé une excellente journée avec notre équipe et que vous avez apprécié leur professionnalisme, leurs conseils et leur attention tout au long de l'excursion. Nous sommes heureux de savoir que vous avez aimé les sites de plongée avec tuba, la qualité du matériel et l'excellente collaboration de l'équipe : un guide se concentre sur la faune et la flore marines tandis qu'un autre veille à la sécurité de tous, et le capitaine assure une navigation agréable et sans encombre. Merci également pour votre remarque concernant le déjeuner. Nous prenons en compte vos commentaires et nous en tiendrons compte pour les prochaines sorties : prévoir une collation supplémentaire, car une journée en mer, ça creuse l'appétit ! Nous espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau pour une autre journée inoubliable sur l'eau.
Our tour was yesterday and it was a pretty amazing trip. The island was like a dream and the water was beautiful. Moses was a great guide telling us all about the islands we passed on the boat ride and then was very knowledge about all the different fish and coral. After lunch we saw dolphins from the island so we hopped in the boat and they took us over to see them. Moses used my phone to get a recording of them - Amazing! After we went to the place where fisherman clean their catch and swam with sea turtles, rays, and nurse sharks. My 9 year old daughter was scared to get in so Moses took her with him and swam with her to show her all around. My mama heart was filled to see that kind of care and attention to make sure that she had a good time.
Thank you for sharing such a happy review of your Snorkel the Perfect Tropical Isle Silk Caye with Turtles, Rays and Sharks experience. Silk Cayes truly is a special place, and it’s wonderful to know the island, the clear water, and the marine life made such a strong impression. I have shared your kind words with Moses. He takes great pride in sharing information about the islands along the way and helping guests better understand the fish, coral, and overall ecosystem. Spotting dolphins and being able to capture that moment on your phone must have made the day even more memorable. We am really pleased to hear how he supported your daughter in the water. Creating a safe, comfortable experience for younger guests is important to us, and it means a great deal to know that his care and patience helped her enjoy swimming with the sea turtles, rays, and nurse sharks. Those moments are exactly what we hope families will take home with them.
They were an hour late picking us up. They packed the boat with almost too many people. Once we got there the guide was great in the water. Saw lots of fish, sharks stingray and turtle. Lunch was not great- bring your own food! But Belize is beautiful and the people are super friendly!
Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback. We’re very sorry for the delayed pickup and understand how frustrating that can be—this is certainly not the experience we aim to provide. This was a peak busy day and one of our vans broke down and that caused a huge backlog of pickup. And yes, on this peak day we were fully booked so the boats were full. I am happy that when we finally got you into the water you had a great snorkeling experience. For lunch we serve a traditional genuine Belizean lunch which usually gets excellent reviews with guests sometimes posting photos of their lunch at the caye. We try to cater to individual dietary requirements such as vegetarian, gluten free, etc when guests book iwth us. That said, we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the snorkeling itself and that your guide in the water helped make the experience worthwhile, with sightings of fish, sharks, stingrays, and turtles. Belize truly is special, and we’re happy that its beauty and friendly people still shone through during your visit. Your comments are valuable to us and will be shared with our team as we continue working to improve timing, comfort, and onboard services. Thank you again for joining us, and we hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity in the future.
We spent 3 days with Splash Diving and would definitely use them again. Our grandson did his AOW and nitrox certs and the entire family, divers and snorkelers alike, were treated to great reef sightings. Safety was clearly a priority and it was a real pleasure- and fun- to meet and be cared for by the boat and booking teams. communication was excellent. THANK YOU SPLASH!
Thank you so much for this very positive review of your three days with us. Congratulations to your grandson on completing his AOW and Nitrox certifications. It’s especially rewarding to know that both divers and snorkelers enjoyed the reef encounters and that our focus on safety, communication, and teamwork stood out to you. We will share your kind words with our crew. Thank you for choosing Splash and for spending part of your Belize adventure with us—we’d love to welcome your family back anytime!
The snorkelling tour was amazing. Cant recommend enough. Nice helpful guides showing a lot of reef and fish. Unfortunately we didn’t see turtles. Boat ride is pretty bumpy so be ready for that. Also - bring sunscreen with you. There are three separate snorkelling events during this trip and it’s good to reapply the sunscreen.
Thank you sharing your experience with Splash on Viator! I'm really happy that you had an amazing time snorkeling at Silk Caye and that our guides helped make the day enjoyable and informative. We’re sorry you didn’t spot any turtles this time — wildlife can be unpredictable — but we’re glad the rest of the marine life made the trip memorable. And yes, the ride can get a little bumpy depending on the seas, so we appreciate you mentioning that for future guests. Great tip about bringing extra sunscreen, too! Thanks again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure (with turtles next time!).
Excellent tour! While the weather wasn’t on our side today tour guides still made sure we had an amazing experience! We saw so many types of fish, some sharks, swam in the beautiful sea and had a great lunch! Our guides knew so much and taught us way more than I ever expected!
Kayla, thank you so much for your kind words and for joining us on the Silk Caye snorkel tour! I am really happy to hear that even with less-than-perfect weather, our team was able to make it a memorable and exciting experience for you. It’s always our goal to share not just the beauty of Belize, but also a deeper understanding of its incredible marine life and to turn our guests into ambassadors for Belize and Splash. You are hereby appointed ambassador pro tempore!
