Our snorkeling adventure with Shamir was the highlight of our trip. He communicated with us the day before so we knew where and when to meet him and what to expect. When we arrived at Hol Chan, he explained to us that it was “rush hour” and in that moment, I was so glad to be on a private tour instead of with many other guests. Shamir snorkeled with us and identified the various fish and marine life along the way, which was incredibly helpful. From there, we went to shark alley where he left it up to us if we wanted to swim or not. Of course, we did! From there, we went to Caye Caulker where we spent a few hours exploring and having lunch on our own. Then we fed tarpons (which was awesome, but not for the faint of heart - my whole hand was in a tarpon’s mouth!) and saw little seahorses. All in all, it was an awesome excursion and the highlight of our trip. Shamir was a great guide and incredibly knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend.
