    So many highlights. Sailing on the catamaran to go snorkelling with rays sharks and tutles over the coral reef at Hol Chan reserve. Birdwatching at dawn over the lagoon. Mayan sites were stunning and all different. Up close with Howler monkies at Shane's place. The sheer beauty of Belize and it's people.

    There was no particular highlight as the whole trip was a highlight. It was a fantastically varied trip which included so many different experiences & satisfied the different needs of the group. We were so fortunate to have Justin Wiltshire as our guide as he was so knowledgeable about all the plants & animals.
