We rented SUPs from Contour twice while we were in Caye Caulker. It was hands down the best way to explore the island and get a workout in at the same time! We paddled around the entire island and saw the most beautiful wildlife. I recommend a half day rental if you're in pretty good shape! We rented the beginner boards the first day (bigger, more stable) and got the hang of it quickly so the second time we rented smaller boards and whipped around.

When we returned our boards, we sat down for with a beer with the staff and just chilled for awhile. Great people and great service!

I recommend taking a SUP tour with these guys if you're going to Caye Caulker. We (a group of four girlfriends) did the Sunset Tour and had a total blast. It was easily one of the most memorable parts of our trip.

The staff was great and the trip was unforgettable!

WOW! What an amazing adventure we had with the owner of Contour Ocean Ventures, Henry. My wife and I signed up for their full day stand-up paddle boarding and Hol Chan Marine reserve package. This package included half of the day stand up paddle boarding in a deserted mangrove island, a trip to San Pedro for lunch, and snorkeling in Hol Chan Marine reserve on the way back to Caye Caulker. It was an excellent value. There were a total of 6 people on the trip, including Henry, the owner. He purposely limits the tour size so that everyone gets the best experience possible. On our tour he brought a cooler full of beer for the group and a bottle of juice for my wife who can't drink beer. He also brought a fresh pineapple for us to snack on after snorkeling. Henry did a great job teaching us how to stand up paddle board and the equipment supplied was fantastic (including full water bottles). For lunch he took us to his favorite spot, "The Office" on San Pedro, which happened to have a Block Island, RI sign. That was cool. Oh, be careful of the haberno peppers! Since we were a small group, we took our time out on the water and were able to essentially have a private snorkeling trip at the reserve. It was epic! After we left the reserve, Henry took us to a sunken barge to snorkel that only a few people are aware of. We were on the water from 9:30am to 7:00pm at night and by the time we got back it was dark. My wife and I rented a house on the other side of the island which is extremely dark at night. Henry lent us his personal flashlights in order for us to cycle back safely. It was an amazing day and we can't thank Henry and his crew enough. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

My husband and I decided to try out the paddle boarding mangrove tour with Ronnie. First off the entire experience was just wonderful! Ronnie was great at making sure everyone was comfortable on the board (even for rookies like me). He was always on the lookout for sea creatures and pointing them out so everyone could see. We never felt rushed and it was a comfortable, enjoyable pace. The scenery was beautiful and peaceful. Beyond paddling through the mangroves, we drifted with the wind on the open ocean outside the mangroves before taking a break for snacks. Ronnie was great taking pictures for us. We also stopped at a great swimming hole so we could refresh in the cool waters before heading back to the boat. It was a great day and we decided to go back for some more time on the paddle boards with Contour. Outstanding crew and owners. This was truly a unique adventure in Caye Caulker and not to be missed!

Super fun and unconventional tour with Henry. We stopped in and talked about the tours he he offered and went with the mangrove tour. It was awesome and a great introduction to paddling boarding. Nice calm water with plenty of stuff to see. It was nice to paddle around in a quite, non commercialized space of Belize and Henry was a great guide. AND we mentioned we were going to San Pedro that day so he threw our bags on the boat and dropped us off at our hotel after the tour. Forget about the ferry when you can paddle board all day and get dropped off at your hotel!

We returned to Caye Caulker in May and to Contour Ocean Ventures to book a tour again: this time the full day Mangrove Stand Up Paddle Board Tour.

First we were not sure if we could do that (we are 60+), but the boards are so stable and easy to move, that we could enjoy the beautiful surroundings instead of struggle with our balance on the board.

Ronnie is an excellent guide and we had so much fun with our encounter with some dolphins playing around the boat for at least 20 minutes! It was unforgettable.

We did the mangrove paddle board experience with guide John. He was a blast to hang out with and treated us like long time friends. He was funny and knowledgeable and we spent a long day with him paddling through the mangroves, enjoying a nice snack and beers and soda in the shade and then ending with a really neat swimming site in the ocean and a close up encounter with a pod of dolphins. These guys are a lot of fun and it was a great trip! I highly recommend them!

I was in Caye Caulker and had the chance to do the Sunset SUP tour at Contour-Ocean Ventures. I have never done Stand up paddleboarding before, so I was eager to learn something new but also nervous about falling down. The instructor for the day, Henry, was AWESOME. He is extremely knowledgeable and fun. We took a 10 minute boat ride to a calm bay to learn to paddle around, then we went out to sea to a secluded area to watch the sunset. He even brought a cooler of beer for everyone to enjoy while we watched the sunset. The paddleboarding was a challenge but the water was so warm, I didn't mind falling into the warm sea. This is a very unique experience and if you are looking for a unique adventure out at sea, this is definitely something you want to try. Henry and Steffi own Contour and also have all day tours to different spots. We did not try the all day venture but I am 100% certain these would be fun and unique. There is no day at sea that is the same, and I fully intend on going back to Contour the next time I am in Caye Caulker. Kudos to Henry and Steffi for launching this awesome business in the little island of Caye Caulker!! Well Done!!!
