- KJDGlosGloucester, UK58 contributionsJust turn up and tours are on the hour. Great value and a worthy cause. Really interesting presentation, plenty of questions, and of course, the opportunity to hold a baby iguana for a pic for your socials. The walk from town was ok but it is up a big hill. Grab a taxi if your mobility is not 100%.Written 19 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- KJDGlosGloucester, UK58 contributionsDefinitely worth checking out while in San Ignacio. We walked from town and it was fine but be warned, it's on top of a very steep hill. Interesting museum on the way in and you can walk in, on and amongst the ruins unlike in other places.Written 19 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Noelle501Belize City, Belize30 contributionsA small group of us visited the gardens on a Sunday. The only guides available were Maggie and Daisy who were fantastic. I’m attaching photos of the guides so you know which ones I’m talking about. They made sure we saw everything, didn’t rush us and we never had to use our map to figure out where we were because they lead us around the loop at a perfect pace.
The gardens are so beautiful and well maintained and good signage is everywhere. It’s a peaceful, beautiful and educational place to spend the day. The drive out is pretty also and the road is way better than it used to be - at least in this dry season!Written 7 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We learned a ton about chocolate and our eyes got opened about its history and also the Mayan use of it. Their hour presentation was solid and included grinding the beans into chocolate paste which we made into a wonderful drink. Highly recommend!Written 5 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Deanna2 contributionsWonderful guides, highly enjoyed our experience. Made our first-timer riders at ease, but gave them chance to build their skills/confidence when ready. Extremely relaxing and enjoyable tour.Written 7 December 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- RalphToronto, Canada2 contributionsIf you love Hot Sauces, this is the place to go.
The factory tour was great and full of valuable information.
The tasting experience was not to be missed, the only place in the world to try all the products that Marie Sharp produces!Written 24 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

My wife and I had a a couples massage at Flor's Magic Touch on January 26 with Flor and Willie and were very impressed by their expertise. These are true professionals who know how to relieve the soreness we had after lots of hiking and adventure activities around San Ignacio. Prices are very reasonable. Only disappointment was that we didn't have time for a return visit.Written 1 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Leah HMilwaukee, WI2 contributionsAbsolutely beautiful ride. While other tours went to villages or through fields, this tour went through the forests and the mountains. David was friendly, funny, and informative. All levels of riders can enjoy this ride. Seriourly, a horse from the pasture we rode through joined our procession and made the exact same trip we did, so if you want to be a passenger and not do anything, you will still end up at the same area as the rest! For the morning half day ride, you have the option for a more advanced ride up a steep mountain area that shows off the strength and skills of the horses. The horses are well cared for and very well trained. I have been to places where the horses look like they are on the brink of death, but these horses had trimmed hooves, were well fed, and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend this small, family business to anyone traveling to Belize. The ride was so beautiful, and because you are under trees most of the ride, it wasn't too hot.Written 13 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rainey H6 contributionsWe did 4 tours with MayaWalk and every single one was phenomenal. We did the Tikal day trip, ATM cave tour, El Pilar + Birdwatching and Xunantunich. Our guides were experienced, knowledgeable and patient on all of the tours. I lost my phone at Tikal, and our guide went above and beyond trying to help me recover it. The office staff was flexible in re-arranging, helped coordinate shuttles and luggage transfers, sent us photos and generally did an outstanding job.Written 13 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Christyna HAtlanta, GA25 contributionsThis hidden Gem spa was exactly what I needed after the long bus ride to Belize. If you want to feel relaxed I would highly suggest you try Gretels spa!

- Ciara S1 contributionI haven't met Mr. Sanchez yet, but his communication has been quicker than any other service I have written in Belize (hotels, other shuttle companies, tours, and such). I love his quick response and eagnerness to help me. I will update with our experience once we work together. However, I had to note how appreciative I am of his response.Written 14 June 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ravi SLisbon, Portugal2 contributionsIt was an amazing experience staying with Laine and Evin. My family enjoyed every bit of time spent at the Ashram. We learnt a lot about yoga, vegan food, Kombucha, Gongs, and herbs.
We really loved the openness of the Yoga floor under the palapa. Doing yoga in the morning surrounded by bird sounds was quiet an experience. This prompted me to continue my yoga. And thanks to Laine I have started doing Yoga regularly.
Our thanks to Evin for the wonderful and delicious Vegan food, and introducing me to his wonderful Kombuchas. We had a short stay there, but both Laine and Evin felt like friends. We shared our spiritual experiences over cups of Kombuchas.
Definitely recommend to everyone who is looking for a serene experience!Written 31 December 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Elio was my tour guide yet again. He is such a wealth of knowledge of history and has witty sense of humour and a warm and gracious heart.
Elio picked me up at the Lodge at Chaa Creek where I was staying, with two other couples already in the van. They had just finished touring Xunantunich, which I had already seen two days prior. So I basically met up with an already formed group.
First stop was the grocery store in San Ignacio where guests were given an opportunity to pick up beer and snacks for the drive (drinking as a passenger is allowed here, so civilized). We then drove for about an hour to Caves Branch National Park where we chowed down on a plate lunch, involving a simple but tasty chicken dish, a rice and bean medley, and a salad.
Lunch consumed, we procured our equipment - life jackets and helmets with headlights - before hiking down a long winding trail (about half an hour in length, maybe a bit more), beneath a canopy of trees in the rainforest, slowly making our way towards the river. The forest was lush and green, packed with scents and sounds I have never experienced before. (By the way, the other guests carried their tubes with them along the trail, however I had made arrangements in advance to have my tube waiting for me at the river’s edge).
We stopped several times along the way (crossing/wading through the river at various junction points) to sample some of the medicinal habitat, including Cojones de Caballo (a ball shaped fruit with an interior flesh tasting like coconut), another medicinal leafy plant that tasted like plums, and we even crunched down on some termites - yes, that’s right termites, they actually tasted like carrots. All of this was optional of course. So much to learn from the healing and medicinal properties of the bountiful forests.
At the last river crossing, I picked up my tube and we all floated down the river, eventually arriving at the mouth of the cave (Crystal Cave), where we had the opportunity to cool off and swim before hopping back onto our tubes, where we finally entered the cave.
This is where we explored the stunning underworld, traversing through large chambers, sliding down mud ramps, climbing up and down rocks, squeezing through some pretty tight spaces (the cave ceiling at points just a few inches above our heads, requiring us to back float beneath them) and swimming through lagoons and cenotes. The cave system is adorned with shimmering rock and crystalline formations and strewn with ancient Mayan artifacts, including some broken clay pots that were left as sacrifices (along with humans) to the gods, in hopes of garnering their good favour. We also met on our underworld path bats flapping overhead, others clinging to the cave ceilings. As per Elio’s explanation, over the years, the bats have worn deep holes into the ceiling surface from the circular motion of their wings.
The whole experience, including the leisurely tube float back down the river was absolutely incredible and left me spell bound.
After our tubing adventure, we disembarked at the river’s edge and headed back to the parking stall where different vendors were selling their wares, including art and cocktails. So if you’re interested in picking up some souvenirs, phone pouches, water shoes, drinks, etc., you can do that here, just bring some cash with you. After refreshing ourselves with some pineapple and rum cocktails, we headed back to our respective lodgings, where I relaxed for the rest of the evening.
Again, I highly recommend booking with St. Leonard’s Tours, even if you are staying at a lodging that offers their own excursions. I know that I will definitely be returning and requesting Elio as my guide.
By the way, they offer customized trips and are very flexible, going out of their way to make your trip a memorable one.Written 23 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

John Paul Hales aka Wayne our driver was very professional and attentive to getting us across the border and carefully handed off to our driver Oogle ? In Guatemala. We were comfortable and well cared for the entire day. Ruben our guide in the park was knowledgeable, caring and had a servants heart for his customers.
The next day we toured the ATM caves in Belize. Dimas our driver was right on time, he also made sure we had plenty to drink and arranged for lunch and made sure we were well fed. Hector our guide made the walk in the cave and though the water an exciting experience. He explained in great detail all aspects of the cave and how the Mayans used the cave for their spiritual sacrifices. Hector made sure everyone was safe and able to maneuver through the cave and felt safe in the water.
We would suggest using Cayo Inland for your tours in the San Ignacio area.Written 23 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
