Beyond expectations! Then again we weren't sure what to expect. Lovely stay at the lodge, met other like-minded travelers (many had their trips planned by Adventure Life) and the owner was a gracious hostess. It felt like you were one happy family, visiting with a favorite aunt.

The company was easy to work with and planned my trip as I requested. Transportation from the airport to my hotel was without any issues. My hotel was wonderful. The 2 guides I had were exceptional. I have no complaints.

I had a certain trip i wanted to do. I called Adventure Life and told them what I wanted. The trip was arranged within 2 days per my itinerary and the cost was very reasonable. The person who assisted me was knowledgeable, competent and friendly.

Our trip to Guatemala was the third time we booked with Adventure Life and once again they did not disappoint. The itinerary, transportation, hotels and especially the guides we perfect. We will definitely book with Adventure Life again in the future.

Agent (Tess) worked closely with me to help work out a custom itinerary for us in Belize. Since we had several specific requirements she made several recommendations then modified the itinerary when we wanted to bring another couple with us. Nice job!
