All were wonderful, but the very best were the 2 all day private trips with family and friends. Conrad and his very knowledgeable staff really worked hard to make sure we had a wonderful time. Our group varied in age from 11 years old to 70+ and they made sure we were all taken care of. There are plenty of excursions available in Placencia and we saw most of them in action. I’m sure their customers had good experiences but they were following a set program and herded around in a group. The Wildside guys found out what each of us was interested in and made sure we had the best possible experience. You just can’t do better than booking your trips with Wildside. More read less

Best “out of office” picture that one can take is from this tiny little island,if that’s even what you can call it.

Jimmy was a very knowledgeable snorkel guide and pointed out all the amazing sea life below. We stayed at our first stop for a packed lunch which was delish stewed chicken and potato salad and fresh fruit. Funny enough, it’s the best meal we had this whole trip!

From this stop we went to find some turtles and nurse sharks and boy did we ever!!! Stingrays, loads of fish, one big Turtle and the loadsssss of nurse sharks! After about another 40 min snorkel we packed it in.

Stopped at Rays Cayes on the way back for a mojito. Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day and friendlier guide.

Thanks you again for such a great day! More read less

The water was clear and the reef colourful and full of a variety of fish and aquatic species. Our guides were friendly and very knowledgeable. They took the time to point out the different species we were observing. The snorkel tour laps the island that the park is on, our group was smaller (we had 11 or so people), which was nice. Some wildlife highlights included Baracuda, giant lobsters, moray eel and taipans! read less

Largest I've Ever Seen!!! WoW!! I'm fully grown and could have ridden on its back --- but, of course, I would not do that~~~

The crew put together a substantial lunch on the beach for us. We were full.

The little sliver of land had a bathroom. I consider that a civilized creature comfort.

The only problem was with my snorkel. The mask was fine, but the snorkel leaked. I was constantly shooting water out to clear it.

Otherwise, a good day of sun, sand, and sea life. More read less

Our captain, Junior, and snorkel guide, Tulu were amazing. We arrived a few minutes before schedule and they were already ready to go. We headed out for our hour boat ride to Silks Caye. Tulu and junior pointed out so many things and even stopped once to watch some dolphins play. We were the first boat to arrive at Silks Caye and we had the whole place to ourselves! Tulu was in the water with us the whole time, pointing out all of the coral and fish. He was so patient and accommodating with our kiddos for their first time snorkeling. They were fascinated by all the creatures he was pointing out (christmas tree worms, sea urchin, fish and coral) After our snorkel, Junior had our lunch prepped and waiting for us. The food was delicious! We really had the chance to see all the other excursions that were there. The personal attention that we received by our private group was head and shoulders above what I observed...in my opinion! Next up was turtle alley. Upon arriving, we only had to wait a few minutes before we were surrounded by nurse sharks, eagle rays and sting rays. It’s was absolutely amazing! My kids had the time of their lives and claimed this the best day ever. On the ride home,... Best day ever!

It was a fantastic way to relax after all that swimming! Wildside Adventure...you did an outstanding job today! Big thanks to Tulu and Junior! More read less
