All trips are private. This company never mixes groups. Those with Special needs are welcome. The ladder is custom designed to ensure that there is no challenge getting in and out of the water. The experience of having your own boat cannot be underestimated. Conversation is easy and fun and relating from the start. Also Lorne and Jolene can cater totally to what you would like to do without compromise for others. Grumpy and Happy is a licensed tour operator registered with the Belize tourism Board. « less

This was my first time snorkeling, although my husband had gone before. Lorne and Jolene picked us up at the dock of the resort we were staying at right on time. They also brought drinks and snacks for us in case we got thirsty or hungry. The first place we hit was Hol Chan. I was a little bit nervous... More

We booked with Jolene and Lorne based upon other reviews on this site. They arrived on time and immediately began to determine what experiences would best meet our needs. They soon understood that we were all novices at snorkeling and that most of us were also not strong swimmers. Suffice to say ours was a group of anxious newbies. We... More

Our family used Grumpy and Happy for two outings, snorkeling and then fishing. Both were huge hits not only for the fish and coral we saw or the amount of Red Snappers we reeled in but because of the professionalism and genuine friendliness of Jolene and Lorne. We were treated special from the moment we boarded their boat (right on... More

My wife and I booked weeks in advance based on trip advisor reports. Lorne and Jolene did not disappoint. Despite rain at pick-up time, it was sunny by the time we arrived to Shark Ray ally for snorkelling. Saw lots of fish, sting rays and several sharks. Guides lead us through corral formations and helped make my wife (inexperienced snorkler)... More

We have snorkeled all over the Carribean and Tahiti; been on guided trips and alone, and even been on an incredible safari in Kenya. Those were all great, but I feel completely comfortable saying that Lorne & Joy have the most professional operation I've ever dealt with. I saw so much, learned more, felt more at ease, and recommend them... More

After the recent snorkeling death the week before, we were feeling a bit nervous, and asked about this. They were both so very professional and explained what had gone wrong, at the fault of a young inexperienced tour guide. Jolene and Lorne were very professional and we felt very safe. They were patient with my 6 year old who was... More

Hi all, i am a very new snorkeler, and traveler at that. I arrived in San Pedro with rain and harsh winds, but was so excited to be on vacation it didn't matter. Two days later I went on my first snorkel expedition with Happy and Grumpy as my guides; it could not have gone better. The first day we... More

My 5 friends and I just returned from an incredible trip to Belize. We essentially hung out and relaxed the entire time. The last full day of our vacation was the best. We took a day trip with Lorne and Jolene and had the most incredible time. Not only is the boat clean and nice, but this couple is just... More

Jolene and Lorne provided us with our best snorkel trips ever. We have snorkelled some of the best warm water destinations in the world and we have never before experienced such a helpful, classy and friendly snorkel team. Our future plans include going back to San Pedro, Belize and heading out with Grumpy and Happy several times to the reef... More

Lorne and Jolene were great....They handled us with great care: Our group consisted of an Octogenerian (Mom is 88), a sharkaphobe city girl (mental girlfriend), and a fat law student (me). Believe me, they were patient! On the more serious side, Grumpy and Happy picked us up on time at our condo pier, were friendly and professional throughout, were extremely... More
