I spotted grey dolphins on the morning canoe trip. A roar similar to that of a tornado or jaguar echoed from the forest. I asked the guide what it was. It turns out that it is the sound of a howler monkey(Male). Like humans, they use a great deal of noise to display who's in charge. I spotted two Blue Morphis butterflies on the forest walk. How beautiful. We also found an orchid that neither guide could identify. They took many pictures to try to identify later. I felt like the explorers I read about as a child. It really felt too good to be true. I know that my words can't come close to describing the experience.
Today's List: Striated heron, great black hawk, great egret, ringed king fisher, pink and grey dolphins, common squirrel monkey, brown beared saky monkey yellow crowned brush tailed rat, bullet ants.
Today I tasted a Ice Cream bean plant. It is a pod with fuzzy white seeds. The fuzzy part of the seed taste like vanilla ice cream...Great
The Adventure Life staff, for me it's Franny, always listens to what I say about what kind of travel my wife and I want and expect. It never goes wrong. The motto at AL seems to be I will get back to you right away if not sooner. Requested changes and special requests are encouraged and acted on ASAP.

The trip planners at Adventure Life were very helpful and always replied to my inquiries right away. The excursions, accomodations, and local guides were excellent

Be sure to sign up for all the tours, otherwise you will be sitting on the boat since not all stops are moored at a dock. Some are anchored.

There were two best aspects to our trip:
1. The Adventure Life folks and the folks in Athens and Crete who supported our itinerary, guided us, and ran the cooking program were all superb.
2. Everything they all planned for us went without a hitch. When we needed a bit of help, they came through with really good answers.
We became aware of AL from a friend who had an excellent experience in a different location. So did we. We can recommend AL without reservation.
