Welcome to Black Rock LodgeThe nearest airport to us is not a major hub, and because of this our travel days tend to start a little early. This adventure began when we departed our house at 4:30 am. With a quick layover in Dallas we make it to Belize City at around 2:30 pm. It is nice that Belize is in the same timezone as home so that we didn’t have to accommodate the effects of jetlag. After making our way through customs we were greeted by our transfer to Black Rock Lodge. The 2 hour drive weaved through the Belizean countryside and we watched the changes in flora outside our window. Black Rock Lodge is nestled amongst densely forested mountains and next to the Macal river.
When we arrived at the lodge we were greeted with freshly squeezed mango juice and given a quick overview of what to expect for the next couple of days. After the introduction we are taken to our riverside cabana, settle in, have our dinner in the open air restaurant, and finally rest from our long day.
Jess was so helpful in talking me through some of the trip options I'd told her I was interested in, and then also bringing up similar alternatives with more flexible dates. Now that everything is booked I realize all the extra things she figured out for us as well, besides booking the transfers from and to each location, she realized that we wouldn't make it to my desired flight time on three departure date and was able to easily add another day so that even our departure day is stress free!

The trip planner understood what we wanted to do and see, and found what we hope to be a great match for our interests and style of travel.

Basically everything. The transfers from lodge to lodge were all timely and smooth (even though we arrived 3 hours late!) with great drivers. The lodges and food were all top notch. The guides were excellent and very knowledgeable about local history and wildlife. Chaa lodge stands out as exceptional. I ended up with an infection leaving Chaa, but they arranged for driver to stop at doctor, and he even got us to a pharmacy for prescription and a great drive to coast.
