An early morning breakfast prepared us for our first day of excursions. We departed with fantastic guide Mario to a day of zip-lining and cave tubing a short drive from Pook's Hill. Our first experience zip-lining was a blast as we cruised through jungle treetops and over rivers.

A relaxing float took us through a series of caves in the gently-moving river. It felt great to cool off in the water while enjoying the ancient formations and water features of the caves. It was a nice time to talk with Mario and get to know about him, his family and what life is like as a guide in Belize.

That night we met some newly arriving guests at the lodge and set out for a night hike to see the night life of the jungle. We were able to find quite a few creatures during our hour long search including a kinkajou, tarantula, scorpion, boa constrictor, and lots of frogs!

Belize adventures
I've worked with Adventure Life before in planning trips and appreciate the quality of trips they put together. They use knowledgeable local guides, comfortable lodgings, and assist with transportation. I find trip planning stressful, so am happy to turn it over to them. They work within our parameters of time, budget, activity level, and types of activities to give us great experiences!

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.
