Permit on! Fishing in the lagoon at Turneffe FlatsToday we went out with Dion on his boat to do some fishing. The weather was not cooperating all that much, and we spent the first hour or so just avoiding the rain storms. Luckily, they are small and quick, and we got to do some fishing in between. We saw some permit in the lagoon, but the wind was pushing us the wrong way, so we decided to go out to a nearly-guaranteed spot for me to catch my first bone fish. We fished near the lighthouse for a couple hours, and I caught several off the boat! They put up an amazing fight, and these were just little guys. Now I see why people come all the way to Turneffe to catch bone fish. They are pretty fun! We fished in this hole for about an hour, but a huge barracuda kept swimming around and as soon as I would have a fish on, he would try to pounce on it! I felt bad after a while, that I was holding the fish on my line as the barracuda was ready to pounce, so we moved on from there around lunch time. In the afternoon, we chased some more permit around, and then spend a little time fishing on the flats. I fished a bit more but was mostly just enjoying the incredibly blue waters and relaxing on the boat. A pretty fun day for my first day flats fishing!
The holiday of a lifetime. The company is Alaksa-owned and thhat makes a big difference to the experineces you get i.e. meet genuine First Nations tribes people. The amount of wildlife was beyond my expectation, and seeing everything on sucha small, intimate boat made it even more spoecial and unique.

It was an outstanding, up-close, educational vacation of nature, culture, history, animals and geology! It was everything they promised! Binoculars were plentiful on the boat, but I'm glad I brought my own. Food was excellent. Rooms had black-out shades. Pack/wear multiple layers of clothing (I carried a small backpack when off the ship). Crew were delightful and very accommodating! Remember to jump FEET FIRST first when taking the optional polar plunge! Spend as much time outdoors as you are able and ENJOY!!!

Excellent travel advice and service
This is my second experience working with Adventure Life. I’m sold. Jess Heuermann is an experienced traveler and provides a lot of useful information when planning a trip. These are the questions I like to ask at the outset - What’s it like to go here, there, what would you suggest, what do people report, can we add any additional side trips? Jess took the time to answer my questions and seek additional information to share with me. Petchie Colina is outstanding in helping with travel logistics and final preparations. Adventure Life has excellent guides and offers private guides and small group adventures. We enjoyed the opportunity to talk with the guides and drivers to learn more about their countries, cultures and histories. A highlight was having the guides pick local restaurants where we could share meals together. Highly recommend.

Our six-day tour in Iceland went smoothly with one exception. We had asked for two rooms each night. Somehow we were booked with one room with three beds. It could not be fixed at the first hotel in Reykjavik because the hotel was fully booked. Once informed of the problem, however, Adventure Life rebooked for two rooms for the remainder of the trip. As an 85-year-old traveler, I appreciated that one could participate at different physical levels at many of the stops. Iceland is a great place to visit but on the expensive side.
