Smooth seas near HamanasiWe had a nice relaxing morning, and Xanadu arranged an afternoon snorkeling trip with a local dive/snorkel operator to the Mexico Rocks, a site that is on the northern section of the caye. The boat came right to the Xanadu pier, picked us up as well as some other travelers participating in the excursion, and continued 25 minutes out to the reef. The seas were calm, but the sun was really hot. Sunblock is a must for this trip, and I recommend wearing a hat and shirt, at least for the boat ride. This was the first snorkeling trip that we did in Belize, and we had a great time. The area where we were snorkeling had very interesting coral reef habitat for tropical fish. The highlight for me was seeing a group of squids that swam in a perfectly synchronized line. As we approached, they seemed to move in unison, turning and changing speed, but never changing their formation. We snorkeled at the first site for about 30 minutes and then hopped back in the boat and traveled to another area to get back in the water for 45 minutes. Carrie was glad she brought a long sleeve, synthetic shirt that she could wear since she did get a little chilled being in the water so long. After snorkeling, we were dropped off at Xanadu, and we then headed out to enjoy another dinner at a small restaurant next to Xanadu that had good lobster.
Adventure Life has been great throughout my planning process for our up and coming Galapagos cruise. Kevin Moore, in particular, was very helpful in assisting me in making choices and providing me with options. He was also very patient, as I worked through figuring out what I really wanted in this vacation.

Clara Tort has been our Travel Advisor for Buenos Aires, then for Iguazu, then for Mendoza and Aconcagua Trekking, and then for Patagonia and Fitz Roy trekking. She has navigated with us through our travels, and now we are coming back for more- onto Machu Pichu and Peru.

Mary Curry made the experience wonderful for the second time. She is the reason we returned to Adventure Life to book our second cruise on WindStar. She is tireless, well informed, pleasant to work with and totally reliable. If you offer employees bonuses, give her one! there who answered to phone to help us book shore excursions were also very good and easy to work with - and we demand rather an lot of help.
