Matt was helpful and knowledgable. We followed his recommendations and were glad we did! There was one misalignment with what the itinerary said we were getting and what was actually provided - the snorkling day said the following:
"Today we will eat breakfast and then we will go ahead to the Ragamuffin office (Tour operator for snorkeling). They will be in charge to lead you for the rest of the day. The tour will start at the dock, where you will be able to see sharks on the shore that get fed by fish, in the meantime, you will be waiting for your boat to start the adventure on the beach. We will go for 1 hour deep into the beach to try at first our gear for snorkeling and then we will deeper into the coral reef to see the wonders Belize has to offer in tourism. The guides on board will take care of you and will make you pass a great time on the beach with snacks, lunch, and some alcoholic drinks or without. This will be a full-day tour."
However, the tour was a half day group tour with a total of 11 participants and lunch and drinks were not included.
Hotel Reviews
The hotel was clean and the property was gorgeous. We enjoyed having our own bungalow. However, the bed was small and the interior was a bit underwhelming.
The room was large, with two double beds. The restaurant had a well developed menu and the location - in the national park - was awesome.
The room was large, with 2 beds. Clean and comfortable.
Activity Reviews
We love this activity. It was physically demanding and really worth the work!
The transfer included a tour if Yaxhá Maya Ruins, which worked really well. The day was well designed.
We really appreciated visiting Tikal at 4:00 am. There was almost no one in the park. The sunrise on the day we were there didn't amount to much, but it didn't matter. We were at the site for 5.5 h - all of this was fascinating.
The boat and tour of Yaxhá Maya Ruins was interesting, providing a enriching undersyanding of Mayan civilization.
The tubing was relaxing. Passing through the cave system in an inner tube was enjoyable. The cave portion of the tour was surreal.
We enjoyed the snorkelling. The trip include coral reefs, nurse sharks, sting rays and tarpons. We thought the half day was an appropriate amount of time to spend doing the activity. However, our itinerary said the tour would be a private full day event, including snacks, lunch, and some alcoholic drinks or without. This. was not the case. There were 11 participants, which was crowded and congested at times.
