Testimonial
Thank you for making our first trip to Belize most memorable. Your organizational skills are outstanding – we were very impressed from the moment we stepped off the plane. The trips the wives went on while the men fished far exceeded expectations. They were most informative with very knowledgeable guides. Lastly, we cannot thank you enough for the friendliness of your staff and management – everyone from housekeeping, dining, etc. Hope to be back and bring the whole family.
