Fevalius was our guide and he was AMAZING! He promptly picked us up out our AirBnB and drove us from San Ignacio to the area where the activities were. The entire car ride he was giving us information about sights we passed as well as informing us about Belize in general. It was very informative and we learned a lot about the country, the history, the flag, the wildlife, the flora and more. We did the zip-lining first, which had some beautiful views of the forest and we even got to see Howler Monkeys in the trees. Then we hiked for the kayaking tour, which allowed us to stop and swim in the river. Fevalius stopped a few times to point out some interesting plants, leaf-cutter ants and even to let us hold a tarantula that was on a tree! The caves were gorgeous to kayak through, going into a bat area and turning off all our lights, passing by waterfalls, and learning more about Mayan traditions. We got to stop and swim and jump off of rocks too. 10/10 would recommend and I feel that we had the best guide from your company!
