    Had an absolute blast. Easy to find them right outside the cruise port, very nice air conditioned ride out to the caves, the whole crew took very good care of all of us and made sure we had fun. They got us back to the port with plenty of time, but never made us feel rushed. Highly highly recommend!

    We had the best time on our Lamanai tour with Julian! He was so knowledgeable about the wildlife, temples, and really fun to spend the day with. We got picked up and dropped off, it was such a smooth experience. The boat ride was gorgeous! The temples at Lamanai are amazing and Julian had brought a delicious lunch with a habanero pico de gallo that was so good!!! I was recommended this tour company by a friend and am so glad I booked it, I will be recommending it to all of my friends!

    Exotic adventures snorkel tour with Apollo and his crew was wonderful! We took a tender from our ship to Rendezvous Caye, a pretty little island near the reef. The tender ride was safe and comfortable. The snorkel tour was a 1 hour guided tour to help visitors see the fish while staying clear of the delicate reef. There is a guide up front, a string of snorkelers, and a lag guide. My husband got a cramp in his leg, and she got him safely back to shore. We had a great time relaxing on the beach, listening to regaae music, drinking rum punch, and eating delicious bar b que. Restrooms are available. It was a fun day, worth the price. But what impressed me most was that this tour operator, Exotic, had a medic as part of their crew.

    We took the Belize City Highlights Tour as an excursion through our cruise ship. We like general tours of places we have never been and that is exactly what this was. Our guide, Melissa, was adorable - wonderful sense of humor, great energy, patient with questions, clear with instructions and did not rush us. We have previously been very disappointed with ship excursions but this one did not disappoint. It was just what we wanted - a little taste of Belize in a comfortable, air-condidtioned bus! For the amount of time we had in Belize, the length of this tour was perfect and still gave us some time to explore on our own. If you are not beach or water people (we are not), and you just want to acquaint yourself with Belize, this is a great tour.

    We met Carlos at the port who then left us with Captain Chino. We had the best time in Belize!! We got to swim with sharks and stingrays in the most stunning waters I have ever seen! We also snorkeled by the barrier reef and stopped in for a fabulous lunch in Caye Caulker. This team was amazing and so friendly. I'd definitely book with them again!

    We spent two fantastic days touring with Carlos.
    His knowledge and easy going attitude, along with his sense of humor made each day a great experience.
    Both days were well worth the price.
    In addition Carlos was attentive to our special need to get John home for his nap.
    In summary, Carlos was PFG!

    This excursion is perfect for cruise go-ers who have limited time at the port and gives you a brief history and peek into Belize history. We were late getting to the meet up point for our tour and thankfully our guide Wentworth waited for us! Wentworth was informative, professional and showed us the beauty of Belize. The tour started with a mini city tour of Belize City (I hoped it would have been longer as there is much history) and then began our 40 min drive to Altun Ha. These Mayan ruins have much beauty and history. After about an hour at the site, we made our way to the included lunch at a local restaurant (with delicious food) and finally made it back to the port with 2 hours to spare, giving us enough time to browse the shops and get on the water shuttle back to our Carnival cruise boat.

    We arrived via the Sun Princess and met our guide Carlos at the port. My 2 adult daughters and I, along with another couple, headed out for the drive to the rain forest. Carlos pointed out many things along the way and talked about his country. We stopped to pay for the excursion at their office, and then we were off to the rain forest. We had to cross through water several times to get to the hiking trail, and Carlos assisted me across. After the hike through the rain forest, we arrived at the cave and our tubes were there waiting for us. Carlos tied the tubes together and led us into the cave. He pointed out many formations in the cave and described what they looked like . . . . such as George Washington and an ice cream cone. We saw bats in the cave too! So much fun! After our excursion we headed back to their office area for a traditional belizean lunch of rice and beans and chicken. It was delicious! We then drove back to the port area and Carlos once again pointed out many things along the way and answered all of our questions about Belize. We absolutely loved this excursion.and highly recommend it to people of all ages. It was such a great value too. We will definitely be cavetubing, with the same company, on our next cruise adventure in Belize.

    Javier worked with me through email to create a great experience for our family trip and allowed us to have a personalized experience in Belize away from the crowds and something that worked with our cruise ship schedule. The barrier reef in Belize is remarkable and something to see.

    Excellent dive shop. Booked with them while on a cruise ship. Guides were incredibly thorough & ensured we made the best out of time in Belize. Visibility >85 feet. Saw nurse shark, eel, ramora, lobster, parrotfish & DOLPHINS. Surface interval included delicious sandwiches, chips & drinks. Highly recommend & will be diving with them again

    We recently did the tour to AltunHa and river cruise excursion on our Carnival cruise to the Western Caribbean. Our excursion the day before to Chachobben in Costa Maya was a bit lackluster, but this tour was amazing! Nuri, our guide, was largely responsible for that - he was wonderful, so knowledgeable about Belize, and answered everyone’s questions without missing a beat. The ruins were great and the rain held off for our entire trip so we were able to climb to the top. The lunch was good and the river cruise was great! It was cooler than usual out so in hotter weather, the long boat ride might not be as enjoyable but we did see many animals and it was overall very enjoyable! Seriously though, Nuri deserves a ton of credit - he is an amazing guide!

    What a fun experience with our tour guide Bean. I cannot say enough good things about this tour and Bean. He was so knowledgeable, funny and we felt safe with him. We hiked the Maya Ruins Xunantunich, stopped for some fabulous lunch and then a hike through the jungle and cave tubing at Nohoch Che'en Archaeological park. The whole day was incredible!

    The beauty was pretty amazing. Jonathan was a true professional and gave us a lot of interesting facts and information about his country on the bus ride over to the caves. Nohoch Che’en Caves were something I’ve never seen before. The Mayan underworld was amazingly interesting & fascinating

    Carlos was our guide from Belize City to the boat pickup for a Laminai. He was waiting for us at the municipal airport with waters and delicious breakfast burritos. We learned a lot from him about Laminai, local wildlife, and Belizean culture and the people. On our way back to the airport he drove us around some sights in Belize City so we could learn more about the history. He was a wonderful guide and we highly recommend him and Vital Nature and Maya Tours!
