Sunset over the Liberty Clipper

Honeymoon Sailing in the Bahamas

After getting married in Montana in the summer, we treated ourselves to a honeymoon in January. We spent a week sailing on the Liberty Clipper around North Eleuthera and a few extra days relaxing on Governor's Harbour's pink sand beaches. It was the perfect getaway in the middle of Montana's winter.

Pelican Beach Resort - South Water Caye

Family Trip to Belize

We hadn't traveled for over three years, and with our oldest about to turn 5 we knew it was time to get both of their passports stamped! We decided to bring them to Belize, one of our favorite destinations, where we could swim, snorkel, fish, kayak and relax as a family.

Cormorant Point and Post Office Bay, Floreana

Floreanahad unique features. There was a giant, gnarly mangrove tree that dominated the crescent shaped shoreline. Erosion had made a secondary type of cliff, where a Blue footed booby and giant chick sat together and groomed. This beach had the green sand caused by the olivine crystals, while a beach on the other side of the island got different …

Suarez Point and Gardner Bay, Espanola

Our new guide was Julian, and he was knowledgeable and friendly. We were still in good hands! Our group disembarked by a small lighthouse. Walking the path was made even trickier because mother sea lions and their cubs saw no reason to give us passage. Not that we minded much. But our guide never wanted to put us or the animals in a situation …

Cerro Brujo and Kicker Rock

Cerro Brujo. This is what is left of a tuff cone. (That is where the lava enters a very cold ocean, causing an explosion. It creates a different shape.) This is also one of the first sites visited by Charles Darwin. The sun came out for our visit here, which was welcome. We rode the dinghies along the cliff face, giving us only an indication to …

Punta Pitt and Tortoise National Reserve, San Cristobal

Next stop: Punta Pitt, San Cristobal!
We had a leisurely walkon a strangely colored, greenish beach, made so by olivine crystals in the sand. Lava lizards abound. We then turned inland and hiked up a dry river run that flows freely in El Niño rains—they have to take travelers elsewhere during those years. It must be gorgeous to see it …

Galapagos, October, 2015
I cannot describe to you how fortunate I feel, to be invited to explore more of these mysterious islands. And how strange and marvelous the circumstances! To be speaking to you again along these lines is truly a gift—a gift given all because I won a contest! Readers voted for me to win Adventure Life’s Blog …

Flying Tropic Air and Dangriga

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 …

Playing in the warm shallow water on South Water Caye

Relaxing on South Water Caye

We spent our days on South Water Caye with no plans. We were able to play in the sand, swim, read, take naps, play games, kayak, fish and snorkel whenever we wanted. Meals were served in a two hour window so we could loosely plan our activities around that. But the best part about this type of vacation was we didn’t really have to plan much. …

Going fishing!

Guided Activities on South Water Caye

Since we were traveling with small children, we were nervous about going out on the scheduled activities the lodge provided. The lodge was small, there were only about 12-14 guests and we didn’t want our kids or our needs to affect their experiences. At the same time, we wanted to get off the island and enjoy all there was to do as well! So …

Delicious dinner at Pelican Beach Resort

Meals and Lodging At Pelican Beach - South Water Caye

Pelican Beach Resort - South Water Caye was such a great place to vacation for our family. It is comfortable and nice without feeling fancy. Our cabana was up a flight of stairs facing East, which meant we had incredible views and strong winds that kept our room cool day and night. We left our french-style doors open all day long and shut them at …

Bahamas bone fish

Fishing in the Bahamas

We couldn’t come to the Bahamas without a few days of fishing! Our first afternoon on Harbour Island, we wandered out into the flats just north of town and saw a huge bonefish swimming right up to us! Of course, we didn’t have our fishing gear and when we returned later the tides had changed and the flat was dry. We would have to come …

Dunmore Town and Harbour Island

We spent the last few days of our honeymoon relaxing on Harbour Island, the “Nantucket” of the Bahamas. It was quant, cute, and expensive, just like Nantucket. We arrived by a small flight from Nassau and then took a water taxi across the little straight between North Eleuthera and arrived at the Valentine’s dock, our home for …

Loving the sand in Governor's Harbour

North Eleuthera Beach Time

We spent our last afternoon and evening on North Eleuthera, north of Governor’s Harbour on possibly the most beautiful, pristine beaches I’ve ever seen. The sand was white and perfect. The water was smooth and a vibrant Caribbean green. The crew took us to shore on the zodiac and set us free to wander for as long as we wanted. We were …

Walking the beach near Governor's Harbour

Governor’s Harbour

We docked at Governor’s Harbor where we would spend the afternoon and evening. Evan and I decided to go for a walk to the other side of Eleuthera and explore the white-sand beach on the rougher side. We walked through town, popping our heads in a few souvenir and coffee shops and then trekked up and over the hill to see the beautiful pink …

Relaxing on board the Liberty Clipper

Sailing on the Liberty Clipper

Life onboard the Liberty Clipper was very slow-paced. Jason, the cook from North Carolina was a pretty amazing cook, especially considering how small the galley was on the boat! (Jason even nailed my all my favorite meals, all in one day. We had biscuits and gravy for breakfast, Macaroni and cheese and pulled pork sandwiches for lunch and steak …

Exploring Nassau

Nassau, Bahamas

We arrived late in the evening into Nassau, quickly cleared customs and grabbed a cab to our hotel. We were staying in the old part of town, just a couple blocks from the main port where the large cruise ships were docked. Our cab driver doubled up and took another solo guy to his hotel first, and then gave us a fun local introduction to Nassau …

Adventures Await in Beautiful Belize

After taking an action packed trip to Costa Rica with Adventure Tours last year, we were ready to book another memorable trip with the tour company. On their site, Belize peaked our interest.

Off the coast is an incredible dive site called The Blue Hole. It became famous by Jacques Cousteau in the 1970s. While on his ship, the Calypso, he charted …

Colored pencil drawing of Galapagos sea lion

Mosquera Island

On our final day of the cruise, we were up early for a visit to Mosquera Island. It is small, with a beautiful beach. The largest group of sea lions we encountered on the trip lazed on the sand or in the vegetation. The lighting was gorgeous--the benefit of the early embarkment. Sometimes photography was more difficult in the harsh, mid-day sun, …

pencil sketches of the Darwin finches

Rabida Island

Rabida is dominated by the color red. Red beach, red paths, red rocks everywhere.

We hiked up above the beach and had a nice view back down.

Along the way, we got to see the Galapagos dove. It's a pretty bird, with iridescent purple along the side of its neck.

More Darwin finch sightings, and it is today's artist inspiration.

I found …

Flying to the islands, and Bachas beach

Galapagos began to show off immediately. As we were coming in for a landing, we spotted two yellow-orange land iguanas off the runway.

Darwin finches and lava lizards dodged in and out between groups of travelers.

We could smell the warm, moist air of the ocean. We were greeted by our guide, waited for our group then transferred to a bus, then …

Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
