This morning, even though we could sleep in until 7:00 a.m., we woke-up around 6:30 with the sounds of the birds and lizards that were surrounding our tree house and even inhabiting it with us. . . geckos are very helpful in keeping the house clear of insects of all sizes and shapes. They are also very amazing to watch catch their lunch or dinner with their long tongue. After breakfast, we were good to go at 8:00 a.m. for our first visit of one of Belize's Tropical Jungle. Cockscomb National Park and Jaguar Preserve was our destination for the day. Pedro, our guide, met us at the entrance and along with him and five other guests, we left. It was a hot day, so the wild cats were sleeping and keeping cool in their home. It was a great time to see lots of mosquitoes harassing the people in the group (remember: bug repellent is a must and your new fragrance for this trip), two tarantulas, lizards, ants of all sizes and shapes and hear beautiful bird's songs. Speaking of ants. . . Pedro took one of them, a leaf cutter warrior ant; in his hands. . . this little guy was pretty angry, with its mandibles snapping back and forth. Once the guide mentioned these mandibles could cut nails like butter and showed us a demonstration, everyone moved far away from the hive. . . awesome demonstration! After a great lunch, we walked to a waterfall and people enjoyed a nice swim that was very refreshing and cooling too. After about 30 minutes of so, we walked back to the van. On our way out of the Park, we stopped at a site of a plane wreck. On the sign, we could read that all three people who were on-board suffered of only scratches and made it through. It was interesting to see that this plane that was hidden in the jungle could only be seen as we walked into the forest; which was about 300 feet away from the road. After sightseeing the wreck, we left and went straight to the hotel and arrived around 4:30 p.m. We enjoyed a wonderful and tasty dinner and called it a day around 9 p.m.
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.
