Salt Life EcoTour lives up to the hype! - Such a great day. The group was so helpful in planning the tour and directing ferry times, since we were coming from Ambergris Caye. The actual tour with Jamal and Charles was fabulous. We saw Tarpons, so many sea turtles, 2 different types of rays, so many fish and corals. They were informative and funny and welcoming. Food on board was delicious! 10/10 would do this tour again. Our youngest was 6 and the oldest 70+ and we all had an amazing time. Ive done other snorkel adventures but this felt the most personalized.

Book here, you won’t regret it! - Captains Phil and Jamal were the best! I was thoroughly entertained the entire time, Captian Phil kept a joke or two lol. My son and I had the best experience hands down. This was my son’s second time snorkeling and by the time we got to Hol Chan he was a pro!

Snorkeling bucket list - This was an amazing activity. You're on the water all day and the guides really try to make sure you are able to see as much as possible. They even went out of the way so we could see a manatee. Everything was so beautiful

25th Anniversary celebration. - This organization is amazing! Everything was as expected and as described. Our guides Phillip and Jamal were outstanding. They kept the entire group entertained and safe. They were extremely knowledgeable about the marine life and took great care in educating us on how to be mindful and eco friendly to the environment. Highly recommended if you are in for an awesome boating and snorkeling activity.

Would definitely recommend Salt life eco tours with Elvis and Ricky! - My husband and I had a wonderful time with our guides Elvis and Ricky. They were informative, funny, and helpful. We saw turtles, eagle rays, lots of fish, nurse sharks, baracuda, and they even brought us over to see the Tarpins because we were not able to see the manatees. The lady in the office made banana bread for my husbands birthday and we divided it up for everyone on board. It was delicious!! Great time!!

Fantastic Ocean Experience - My husband and I went on this tour and had an amazing time! Not only did we see a ton of marine life, but our guides/captains were fantastic. Charles and Jamal were friendly, helpful, and provided a great/informative tour. We loved each of the stops on the tour and would highly recommend.

You won’t be disappointed! - Captain Charles and Josh were great! They lived up to the “eco” in their name and know the waters, the sites and each species as if they were their own. If someone was uncomfortable doing something they’d gently push but didn’t make a person feel bad for still not feeling comfortable. Really trusted their expertise and felt safe with them! Life jackets were an option, but honestly recommended - one guy thought it was dumb and would’ve drowned without Josh who was incredibly professional, calm and able to swim him back to safety - it was amazing how easily he swam with the extra weight which only instilled more trust! Water and rum punch were provided, as advertised. Lunch was also good, and had been made by Charles and Josh, which actually made it better. More so if you had Josh’s homemade hot sauce! Don’t miss this tour!

Great eco friendly option for Hol Chan - We had a great day out with Salt Life Eco Tours. We got to see all the animals that we wanted (turtles, sharks, dolphins, manatee, fish etc.). The tour was well organised and the equipment was good. Our captain Loki and colleague Christine were very fun and knowledgeable. Food was okay. The only reason for the reduction from 5 stars was that other people on the tour got some great photos taken with the gopro and we unfortunately got none. This was because they split the group in two, and only one half of our group therefore got any time with it for pictures and videos. It would have been nice for them to take the time to get at least one picture of each person, I have had this experience on other snorkeling tours and it's quite easy to do. We liked that the company was Eco friendly and didn't feed the wildlife and emphasised the respect for the reef and the animals. The boats are small and comfortable (max around 10-12 people per boat). Overall it was a really fun day and we loved the experience.

Nice views, unimpressive service - This tour company took more bookings than they could handle. They asked us to be there at 9. Everyone was fitted before 9:45 (all 27 of us) and then we waited…. Eventually two sets left with 10 each, and our group of 7 was still waiting. We left around 11. I think they had to find a third person to come in and cover for their overbooking. Our actual guide was good, and we had a good time looking at fish and coral. But I’d like my hour plus back, and the tour turned out to be about 5 hours, though they advertise 6.5 hours.
