It didn’t get off to a good start as the prearranged taxi that I paid £114 for wasn’t at the airport I waited for about 20mins then thought I should get a local taxi which quoted me $50 for the ride to Crooked Tree which was about 20km So I think Exodus ripped me off charging so much for a poor service The arranged taxi did eventually turn up and said he’d been there all the time which was a lie as it’s a v small airport and I would have seen him
The trip itself was great with a lot packed in and an excellent guide Jorge who was unfailingly good humoured and v helpful and kind He even offered to lend me his glasses when I lost mine! The accommodations and food were all good The Jungle Lodge in Guatemala didn’t offer any drinking water except in plastic bottles which rather goes against Exodus policy The ATM caves were interested but I felt were a health and safety hazard as there would have been limited access for rescue services or evacuation Also the ancient artefacts were on the ground just taped off so could easily have been damaged by visitors and some already have been. I felt the administering authority should have taken better care eg providing walkways,emergency exits etc Finally I felt Caye Caulker was marred by a lot of plastic pollution bottles etc along the shoreline and the corals out at the reef were bleached I know that’s not an Exodus issue but maybe you feed back to the resort how to improve the tourist experience
Great 8 days exploring Belize I had a really good time on my trip. We did several inland activities and it was fun and educational. The best part of the trip was the last 3 days in Caye Caulker, where we stayed 3 nights, it was nice not moving around and staying in one hotel. It was the perfect end to the trip ending on an island in the Caribbean, nice and slow paced. I would recommend this tour to others.
High adventure was what I experienced and but did not expect on this tour. It was also very active and pretty fast paced. Our tour guide, Shaq made all the difference in making our group a cohesive team which turned into friendships very quickly. Every guide should be a Shaq!
