Nadir was a great guide! He was a great storyteller while telling us the history of the ruins. While on the pontoon boat he cooked us a very delicious meal and encouraged us to explore the water and the waterfalls. We had an amazing time 10/10 would recommend.

Our guide Nadie was so knowledgeable about the ruins and also provided us insights on the culture of this beautiful country. We also took the tour of the river, swam in the waterfalls and enjoyed a leisurely trip down the river while eating a delicious meal prepared on board by Nasir. Giovani was also a great host. He added humor and always extended a hand when we needed help maneuvering the trails. A great trip. Even enjoyed the bumpy ride to the river.

Our morning started with Dave taking us to the ruins where he was great at sharing the Mayan history, customs and how Belize still respects parts of that culture today. Next, he took us to the pontoon experience on the river where Giovani was also great about sharing information on the river, dam and wildlife. They grilled for us while we swam and were just a great group to joke with and get to know. Couldn’t have asked for a more personable team.

Giovani was a great guide. We had such a great time learning about the ruins and then floating in the river. The BBQ on the boat was so good!
