Fabulous experience; hiking in the jungle, swimming in and behind a waterfall, learning about tropical plants and birds from our amazing guide, William. We were lucky enough to spot a toucan and Scarlett macaws. The icing on the trip was finishing up the day with a float on a tube down the jungle river….with a surprise appearance by a swimming wild cat! Our driver Hez ensured a safe and cool trip every time we got in the van. Huge advantage to coming during the low season, we were the only ones on the tour!!

We enjoyed a very good hike at the cockscomb with Untame Belize. From the booking process with Hamerlin to the our guide everything was amazing. The guide showed us around, we saw some birds, crocodiles, and other wildlife. We did the river tubing and waterfall swim as well. Ended the day with a delicious belizean lunch. We also booked our family transfers from International AirPort to and from PLacencia.

Our guide, Ricky, picked us up at our hotel in Dangriga and drive us to the Preserve. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area in general and the local flora and fauna specifically. We were originally skeptical of the value given the cost but those concerns soon melted away. We needed Ricky to access the trail and it was totally worth it. The lunch was also delcious.

If you like to get out in the jungle, see and hear the tropical birds, learn about the amazing Jaguar reserve and have a very tasty lunch, then book this trip! First of all, this company picks you up from your accommodation, which was a huge bonus since we were in Belize for a month and didn’t have a car, so we saved on taxis, which, of course, meant more for tips to the guides! Our driver, Charles, was so nice, professional and prompt. Our guide, William, was so knowledgeable! Our tubing down the river surrounded by nature, and likely a few nocturnal jaguars, was beautiful. We didn’t even mind getting caught in the rain, because it cooled us off and was gone as quick as it came! Highly recommend!

One of the highlights of our Belize trip, was hiking through Cockscomb Basin with local Mayan guide, Benedicto Choc. Benedicto is a local Mayan who shared his extensive knowledge and passion of the areas plants and many unique birds. Ben's luv & deep understanding of nature, culture and the area, added a dimension that will remain in our memories for years to come. The hike to the waterfall was filled with visual & sound immersion from start to finish.
The day previous, Benedicto's wife, Federica, graciously provided us a start to finish Mayan cooking experience at their home. Ingredients for our meal were all freshly picked by us with Ben's guidance from their garden. Federica took care of the chicken before we arrived. Our meal was delicious and the experience of learning to appreciate the process of Mayan cooking, was absolutely enjoyable.
Again, an unforgettable experience.
We also stopped at the Mayan Center to view locally made handycraft work which supports the community. We strongly recommend stopping by there.
Benedicto's contact info is: benedicto_choc@yahoo.com. His cell on What's App is: +501-667-7780.
