Always anxious when it comes to catching a flight, I was sure we were packed and ready to go on the first water taxi departure at 7:30 am. Sabrina was already up and had a handle on breakfast – we said our goodbyes and thanked her for a great visit. Of course, it was a beautiful sunny day. The ride back to Belize City was gorgeous! I could have ridden the water taxi back and forth all day, just enjoying the ocean wind and sun on my face. OK, I exaggerate. But it was sure nice to see the sun again. Once at the marina we shared a taxi-taxi with two other travelers who were backpacking through Central America. It is very common for taxis to charge by the person, not by the ride. Our travel companions thought the driver was trying to take advantage of us, but I assured them it is common practice to charge per person. Our driver, taking note of the wary clients, cut us a deal. Once at the airport, it was a breeze through customs. I noted a large pile of conch shells confiscated from a number of travelers' suitcases. Note: you cannot bring conch shells home from Belize. We flew back to the States happy and content, proud of our successful endeavors. Belize, thanks for treating the Conways so well. We'll be back.
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.
