the tour Company

Placencia Wildside Adventures like many of the tours companies was created by a local of the Village. Our Tour company offers remarkable snorkelling, diving and Fishing Trips. Our Tour Guides are well trained pleasant and informative. 

The Tour Company is headed by Guide and Captain, Conrad Villanueva Jr, son of a fisherman that loved to share his experiences with others. It is 100% Belizean owned and staffed, touring with us brings your money to Belize and supports or local economy directly.

Our Tour Operator was created for those that want to avoid the commercialization of touring in Placencia.

We cater for small or private groups. Our shared tours have a maximum of 18 passengers on a boat, even though we are able to serve private groups up to as many as 48 passengers. Conrad and his crew have worked with the bigger companies for many years and saw the need for a more personal touch to tours.

And so it began, now there is a tour company that would provide you with an affordable private tour catered to your group need, whether it’s your significant other, your family, your friends, your co-workers or even a group of random strangers that just met each other we will make a tour to suit your needs. A young company with years of experience in safety and customer satisfaction, let us show you the best of Belize.

Blue Turtle Snorkeling is fully licensed and insured as per the laws of Belize to execute tours by the Belize Tourism board.
