One of the best we have ever had. The whole trip was memorable for two main reasons – the variety of scenery and the superb wildlife. (more)Tim Graham
Included memories are - Spider monkeys swinging jumping above us to reach the trees on opposite side of jungle river, finding red eyed tree frogs at night... an incredible display by the resplendent quetzal during a courting session (more)Paula Cooke
The stay at Laguna Lodge was an amazing start with river trips and accommodation overlooking the river. Seeing Sloths close up and watching the antics of the capuchin monkeys was fun. (more)Jean Thirkettle
From

Memorable parts?
Seeing sloths close up in the wild

yes.
Overall rating?
Better than excellent! (more)Sue Deeley
From
£2,458
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Encountering Mexico made us challenge preconceptions and our understanding of what it is to be Mexican. Most memorable surprisingly were how safe and beautiful are the cities we visited and the welcome we received from the Mexican people, urban and rural. Monte Alban. The food was wonderful from street to fish restaurants on Holbox
Tips?
Read about Mexico before going especially through its literature, watch the BBc programmes on Mexican Art, Rick Stein on food. Travel... (more)Geraldine Newton

Memorable parts?
There were so many amazing moments but I would have to say our adventures in the ATM cave were a real highlight and snorkeling in Belize.
Tips?
Even if you are not vegan ( like me) this trip is for you if you love an adventure and delicious food. Bring water shoes for the ATM cave.
Local benefits?
Yes definitely. We were led by local guides at all the different activities and supported conservation groups such as the Baboon Sanctuary.

The most memorable part of the vacation was Tortuguero… Excellent (more)Claudia Bernat
Fantastic family adventure. A great mix of wildlife, activities and beach relaxation. All ran very smoothly, transport was efficient, people extremely friendly and the whole experience was very enjoyable. Highly recommended! (more)Jenny Brothwell
From
US $1,330

I loved the beach clean up on a nearby island. Really great, especially for younger divers. (more)Georgina Stevens
The most memorable part of the vacation was diving in a downpour. It wasn't scary, just interesting. (more)Brian Benner
All of it was pretty amazing. I didn't realize how small the island was and I loved it. Being able to dive 3 times a day and get to know the local marine life, while
learning about it was my favourite. (more)Irina Tyshkevich
From
US $1,735
excluding flights
Too many to mention, really - it was all memorable! But the most memorable parts were maybe the cloud forest, the mangroves boat trips, Copan, Tikal or the growler monkeys. (more)Kathleen Culliton
The most exciting part of the vacation was seeing the volcano Arenal in La Fortuna and the beach at Manuel Antonio. (more)Vanessa Adnitt
Costa Rica is a lovely place to visit but had we known it was so expensive we
would never have signed up to a vacation that didn't have a lot of included activities and meals included. (more)Ian Halliwell
From
£3,130
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Seeing the lava flowing at the Masaya volcano is a wow! (45 mins from Managua/Nicaragua); zip lining above the tree tops at Arenal. Watching the beautiful sunset, glass of wine in hand, at Arenal Observatory Lodge. Seeing Quetzals close up in the cloud forest. Hundreds of fireflies lighting up and dancing in front if us as the sun set. Seeing all the wonderful wildlife on offer in Costa Rica and Nicaragua.
Tips?
If driving use a satnav! Driving in Costa was... (more)Martin Blow

I loved the jungle lodge in Sarapiqui - a 2 hour tractor drive from the nearest tarmac road. An idyllic location in the heart of the forest. (more)Jeremy Rodgers
That's difficult as there were so many memorable moments. The zipwire above the cloud forest was a massive adrenalin rush. Helping to plant trees by potting bags of soil was great too and a great bonding moment for the group. (more)Sylvia Kenna
The most exciting part of the vacation was probably the turtle egg laying. (more)Abigail Croydon

The real highlight was making fresh chocolate with them from their Cocoa plantation. It was the nicest chocolate we had ever
tasted and a truly unique experience!
(more)Naomi Hatch
The most memorable was the early morning canoe trip from Evergreen Lodge with Ray Brown wildlife watching. Snorkelling off Caño island and seeing sea turtles. (more)Ruth Lambert
The stunning countryside, wildlife and how incredibly clean of litter it is, great not
seeing plastic rubbish everywhere...
(more)Vince Payne
From
US $2,830
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Snorkelling in Caye Caulker, Belize, was an amazing experience! Nurse sharks, stingrays and turtles, not to mention oodles of brightly coloured fish, seemed completely oblivious to our presence, and Hol Chan Marine Reserve, with its dazzling array of corals and fish, was stunning. What a fantastic day! Just as good, but for different reasons, was the memorable Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM) cave - wading through water; scrambling up, over and under rocks; and marvelling at the...

This trip was pretty disappointing. The itinerary changed constantly and there were only three of the nine days that were actually as written. We didn't stay
at Mizunte. (more)Amanda Madorno
Going to local markets and learning and tasting about different foods was the highlights. 11/10 had a fantastic time with great people who were all traveling alone. (more)Ian Robertson
I liked having the focus on food--we tried so many different things, all delicious. (more)Nancy McCormick

The most memorable moment was waking early in the morning to hear the strange bird calls and seeing the dawn. A vacation of a life-time. (more)Angela Wood

From
US $1,445

15 out of 10. Great experiences, culture, exchange, opportunity, choice...THE BEST. (more)Géraldine Poukens
Snorkelling with manatees, sharks and a turtle was pretty special but, in fact, every day on this trip was extraordinary... from volcanoes to markets, Mayan ruins to swimming in hot springs, eating at a Mexican family's home and taking a riverboat trip. Fantastic. (more)Jennie Walmsley
The scenery and people of Guatemala, the warmth of the people and climate of Belize and the excitement and colour of Mayan Mexico. One of the best small group vacations I have ever experienced. (more)Martin Braund

Fantastic trip with many memorable moments - swimming with the whale sharks was amazing and swimming with 2 manta rays and seeing their courtship ritual on the final day was magical.
