We 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.
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.
