5.00I was only able to be in Belize for less than a week and I had a long list of activities I wished to accomplish. With the planning and organizational network of Jabiru Travel and Tours I was able to do everything I wanted and more. I saw beautiful rainforest in the Cayo district with some fun activities like zip lining and cave tubing. I learned about the history and ecology of the country from my personal guide as he transported me between locations. I enjoyed touring Mayan ruins. I saw beautiful natural wonders including waterfalls and additonal caves. I was introduced to many wonderful animals at the zoo, butterfly ranch, and on a snorkeling excursion leaving from Caye Caulker. I was able to taste delicious tropical fruits including cacao at a presentation on the ancient history of chocolate. My accomodations were comfortable; everywhere I stayed had a shower, clean towels, air conditioning, and television. I had a great time and I highly reccomend Jabiru Travel and Tours.
