It was nice to have the morning to hang out and walk around the grounds of Pook's Hill and explore. We were able to spend time walking around the Maya sites found only yards away from the main lodge and also take a hike to the river. It is such a nice area for bird-watching, and Carrie became quite adept at recognizing the keel-billed toucans calls. After our final lunch, we said good-bye to Vicky and the other staff and drove to Belize City, a two hour drive. Our next stop was San Pedro on Ambergris Cayes, and to get there, we had a short flight on a Cessna Caravan, a 10-12 passenger prop plane that the Belizeans on our flight called the \"Scare-avan.\" But it was far from anxious, and I felt very safe and in good hands as we flew over the blue water en route to San Pedro. The landing strip is right in the middle of the town of San Pedro, and you can literally walk off of the plane and grab a taxi within 30 seconds. We stayed at the Xanadu Resort for the first two nights, and we enjoyed the beautiful and calm grounds. Xanadu has nice studio/efficiencies and a great pier that leads out into the blue water. We spent a lot of time hanging out on the pier, swimming and relaxing in the shade (the sun was really intense). In the evening we ventured into the city center and found a nice restaurant serving good Belizean seafood and cold Belikin beers. San Pedro is definitely a good destination for travelers who want to stay in an area with good seafood restaurants, and it is a good balance of quiet Caribbean charm and serenity and night life.
The agent had great response to questions and coordinated well to create an itinerary that met our expectations.

Kelly and Rhenee were excellent to work with on planning our trip. The logistics all worked smoothly and everyone was friendly and on time. Our accommodations were very good, particularly the incredible Patagonia Camp in Torres del Paine! Our guides on every excursion were outstanding and made the hikes memorable! Overall we had a wonderful trip with incredible memories!

Adventure Life is definitely a first-class safari tour company, and our representative was Franny Friesz. First of all, she responded immediately after we contacted Adventure Life. We told Franny that we had never been on a safari, and she was more than eager to offer a mountain of information about the trip. She informed us fully about all the ups, downs, and all arounds! She even prepared a number of packages for us to review -- even after we made changes to the areas we wanted to explore. Friendly, helpful, professional, and extremely knowledgeable -- these words describe Franny, and what a wonderful trip she prepared! We couldn't have asked for better service than Franny of Adventure Life. We HIGHLY recommend her and her outstanding company! Bon Voyage!

The staff at Adventure Life made planning my family's trip to the Galapagos Islands as easy as possible. They listened to what we were hoping to experience and made thoughtful suggestions about how to accomplish our vacation goals while meeting the needs of travelers ages 17-76! They patiently answered questions and follow up questions in the months leading up to the trip. They helped us trouble shoot and customize the trip in every way possible. The logistics involved in traveling from Boston to the Galapagos are innumerable. The Adventure Life staff helped us arrange every detail and the team they assembled in the Galapagos was tremendous. I have never done a trip this big before and after working with Adventure Life this time--would not hesitate one second in working with them again.
