My mom and I went for a visit to the Belize Botanical Gardens and we were so impressed. We were greeted by Roxi upon arrival who made us feel so welcome and set us up with a guided tour. The grounds were truly nature beauty at its best. We had a wonderful guide named Enilson, who was asked many questions by those in our group and he was so knowledgeable. It was such a lovely morning and I can highly recommend it to anyone that is even slightly interested in local Belizean flora. I will certainly be back again.

I’ve been all over the world but have never done an “iguana” tour and it was so much fun. We enjoyed seeing the iguanas interact not only with us but with each other. We were able to pet them and feed them and took lots of great pictures. Tours run every hour and the location is perfect as was our tour guide. The tour was $9 USD p.p. but worth it. Located in the Ignacio Resort Hotel which is beautiful and there’s plenty of parking. Kids will love this. Stay and have a drink by the pool afterwards.

The only thing wrong Was it wasn’t long enough. So much information I wanted to spend the whole day. Luis was very knowledgeable about the plants and how to make teas etc. we will go back again next year for 4 days. We really enjoyed the day there!!!
5. 1000 Foot Falls

The funnest part was the drive there in our 4x4 rental. At our time the roads were dry - travelled in March. Wouldn't have wanted to try the road in the rainy season. Was fun bumping along the washed out roads in our 4x4 and made the experience humerous. The view at the end to see the 1000 foot falls itself wasn't overly spectacular but we enjoyed our excursion as we went out and about when we wanted to - not with a group on a tour.
