Half Day Snorkel to Laughing Bird Caye

We had the best time with Mario && Tony. Mario gave us so much information about the reef and was very fun and knowledgeable during our tour. We highly recommend this trip and would love to do it again!!

I did both scuba diving and snorkeling at laughing bird, and I will say the snorkeling is much better! Pretty much everybody I talked to said the same thing. I felt like we gotta go to the amount of time in the water ! The tour guides were also very nice. Specifically, Peter. He was interesting to talk to. You guys have got a good one with him!!!

Pickup was easy and on time. They didn’t confirm the pickup other than the email, but no confirmation was needed- they showed up! Guides were friendly and very well versed in the local areas and reef and sea life. After arriving on the island, which was one of the most breathtaking places I’ve been, we had a short safety briefing then hit the water. Got to see a lot and learn about the area. It was one of the best snorkel tours I've been on! Half day is enough, trust me!

This was the perfect way to start our day, and with a half day trip, we were able to do other activities in the afternoon. The guides and captain were wonderful, friendly, accommodating, and extremely knowledgeable. The sights were as beautiful as we imagined as we swam among the diverse marine life that the island waters have to offer. Amazing experience that I would do again and again.

What a wonderful experience! Definitely recommend the snorkeling at Laughing Bird Caye. It's beautiful, water clear, saw lots of fish and coral and other sea life our guide pointed out, even nurse sharks! Captain Jak's Tours are top notch, professional, on time, friendly and knowledgeable guides.

The staff was so friendly, knowledgeable, funny and made sure everyone was safe and having a great time. I recommend using captain jaks for excursions on the area!

It was simply a great day from the pick up at our rented house to the return. The guides were awesome. The boat ride, snorkeling, and lunch were great. A must excursion when traveling to Placencia!

We had an excellent half-day trip to Laughing Bird Caye. Be prepared for a lot of swimming while snorkeling as you swim halfway around the Caye. Most aquatic life that I have ever seen on a snorkeling adventure. Side note- we also rented a golfcart from them, and it was great. They had it ready at our VRBO upon arrival and picked it up, so convenient.

Our experience with Captain Jak’s was a mixed bag and unfortunately a lowlight of our trip to Belize. The day we were supposed to out in a full day snorkel tour to Silk and Moho Cayes, a cold front came through and we were told Captain Jak’s was rescheduling us for the next day. I got no confirmation of a hotel pickup for the next day so we drove ourselves into town to meet the tour. Our reservation had apparently been lost in the rescheduling shuffle, but they did accommodate our party to go out snorkeling that day. Since the weather was apparently still rough offshore, we were diverted to Laughing Bird Caye—but I wish we had not gone at all. Our guide was unpleasant, even roughly accusing me of taking more than one piece of chicken at lunch !, the wind was so strong I couldn’t get the rice at lunch into my mouth without blowing away lol, and may of the corals seemed bleached. It would’ve been a shame to miss snorkeling entirely on our trip, but I definitely don’t think the tour was worth what we paid for it. I will go with a different tour provider when we next return to Belize.

Incredibly knowledgeable tour guide who expertly led us to identify multiple types of fish and coral, a blue crab, a giant lobster and a cucumber fish. Only challenge was regarding logistics.. specifically changing the date booked on Viator wasn't communicated to the operator.
