Abraham and Cyle were fantastic guides/captains. They picked us up at our hotel (Ramon’s), had some suggestions of what we should do, and gave us a great tour. We had went to Hol Chan, went to Shark Alley twice, fed the tarpons, did some fishing, and ate lunch at Caye Caulker. Everything was very flexible including pick up time, what we did, and how long we stayed at each activity. I would STRONGLY recommend spending the little extra money to get this boat rather than going with a larger tour group.Roger_F

The snorkeling it self was amazing. Hol Chan you see so many different types of fish and swimming with the nurse sharks at shark ray alley was definitely something everyone should experience. As far as the custom tour, I wouldn’t recommend anyone to pay extra as you don’t customize anything. Your lunch is provided on Caye caulker at a sports bar; you can pay extra if you choose something from the menu. We assumed, after we ate we could leave, no that was not the case. We were told we needed to stay on the island for 2.5 hours to shop and explore. When we told the guide no thanks, he said stay at least a hour. Once, again we said no, we do not want to stay. This tour says we can opt out of Caye caulker if we like, but that doesn’t seem like it’s allowed. So we told them to just take us back to San Pedro at that point and even faked an illness since they clearly weren’t going to take us anywhere else. Also make sure you know the island of caye caulker. Our guides had left us after lunch and we became lost trying to find the boat. As far, as paying for the custom, don’t do it, unless you want the private experience. The snorkeling is amazing but there are many other options as far as excursion companies.Jessica_S

The crew of Abraham and Cyle were very nice and accommodating. Very open to customizing trip to meet out desires. They even were thoughtful enough to move our trip later to get better weather when others went out regardless of weather.
