The day we arrived in Belize City, we were scheduled to fly on a small flight from Belize City to Dangriga Since we were traveling with small kids, I wanted plenty of time to get from our international flights through immigration and customs and to our Tropic Air flight with plenty of time. I had given us about a three hour window, and once we checked into our Tropic Air flight, they told us that they were going to put us on the flight that left an hour earlier so we didn't have to wait. I was thrilled as we were ready to be done traveling and relaxing in our hotel! We grabbed some lunch in the airport and I went to the Tropic Air counter and asked if they could help us contact our hotel to change our pickup time. They took care of this for us and we were able to just relax and wait for our flight.
We were put on the small plane to Dangriga, and within minutes were airborne. After a quick 15 minute flight we landed in Dangriga and our driver drove us the block to our hotel, the Pelican Beach Resort in Dangriga. We were able to check in and relax in minutes! The restaurant served great food and drinks and our room had a beautiful view of the Caribbean from our front porch. We also were just feet from the airstrip so got to see planes taking off a few more times that afternoon. Luckily they don’t fly at night but the kids enjoyed watching them take off right over the dock.
The front desk let us know that we would be departing for their South Water Caye location at nine the next morning, so we slept well and packed our bags again for the morning boat ride. The ride took about 45 minutes to get out to South Water Caye. We were on a large panga that had several rows of seats, and brought a couple staff members with us. The ride was beautiful and easy, and before we knew it, we had arrived to our little piece of heaven!
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.

Jess was very easy going and answered all our questions. It’s not easy dealing with 6 people at once but she did an outstanding job!

Kassandra and the Adventure Life team have been incredible! Kassandra was very knowledgeable and attentive to our asks while making sure we kept within our budget. This was our first experience with a travel agent and we were blown away by the booking/initial exploration service. We will use Adventure Life again.
