Donna & Mark

The day begins as we make our way to the mainland and up the Old Belize River. While passing through, we will encounter numerous amounts of wildlife including crocodiles, manatees, iguanas, and monkeys while having a continental breakfast. After cruising through the river, we will then board a van that will take us to the spectacular Belize Zoo. Home to an impressive array of large cats, primates, reptiles, and birds, this habitat gives us the opportunity of viewing the prolific wildlife of Belize in one location. Then we will head to Jaguar Paw Resort where lunch will be served. After lunch our guide will gear us up with all appropriate equipment including headlights and tubes for the caves. We will start our first forty-five minute jungle trail to the Caves Branch River and its winding path through the Mayan mountains and numerous ancient caves once inhabited by the Mayan people. We will be transported back in time as we float down this river! Our guide will point out various plants, roots, and herbs once used by the ancient civilization.

With your wonderful gift we'll spend a night on the town, dance, laugh, and let loose wherever we desire.

We will travel back in time, follow pathways used by the Maya peoples, and discover lost worlds that have been hidden deep within the jungle for centuries. We will take a tour as our guide unveils the mysteries and secrets of the Maya underworld. We will witness spectacular visions of the jungle while trekking across rivers and remote jungle trails. We will go back over two thousand years in history as we learn about the Maya civilization and witness first hand how the ancient peoples used these amazing caverns. We will see burial chambers with calcified remains, ceremonial vessels and other cultural artifacts left by the Maya centuries ago. Artifacts are often looted from caves following their discovery. The passage through this cave is known to only a few select guides, who have permission from the Belize Department of Archeology to take visitors to this special cave. To this day, the cave has not been looted and nearly all of the cultural artifacts have remained in place as they were originally found in 1989. We will start off the day with an early flight to Belize City to meet and greet our tour guide. We will travel the scenic western highway towards Guatemala to the village of Teakettle. From there we will head south to the Tapir Mountain Nature. We will take a nature trail for forty-five minutes on a flat, clean, and shaded path which has three knee-deep streams to cross during this jungle hike. At the end of the hike we will arrive at the camp ground just outside the cave. We will sit down for lunch and orientation about the history, geology, safety rules, and regulations of the cave. After the orientation and lunch, we will start off with a swim in the fifteen foot long and fifteen foot deep cave; life jackets are available for non-swimmers. We will arrive to the main chamber to view artifacts such as ancient Mayan potteries, skeletal remains, stone tools, and beautiful formations.

Encountering the dolphins is a once in a lifetime experience that showcases these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat of Belize. We will be amazed as our trainer motivates us with his speech on conversation and takes us through an exhilarating experience as we come into direct contact with them. We cannot pass on this exciting opportunity!

We'll have a drink or two on you at the local bar or at our favorite saloon. Cheers!

On our honeymoon, we will try our luck with the sharks! From Blackjack to Poker, we will have a good time playing a game of cards!

We will join one of the trained staff members for a lagoon kayak tour behind the property. It is common to catch a glimpse of crocodiles, juvenile fish populations, and a variety of rare birds prevalent in Belize. The canopied canal ways leading from lagoon to lagoon display a variety of orchids, termite nests and a host of other interesting sights.

This is the Highway to Tower Hill. Here, we will once again board another boat that will take us down the winding New River Lagoon for forty-five minutes where Belizean wildlife at its best comes alive. We will encounter the many species of birds, monkeys, crocodiles, interesting plant life, and culture as we pass the Amish and Mestizo communities along the way. Once at Lamanai, lunch is served along with sodas, beers, and rum punch. Lamanai, also translated to submerged crocodile, is dated a pre-classic structure in the Mundo Maya. This is the only Maya site in Belize that has its own private museum, where all the artifacts found by the archaeologist, Pendergast and his team, are kept. Our experienced tour guide also provides a detailed and informative briefing on all of the artifacts. The tour covers approximately five to eight of the Lamanai Maya Temples. While touring this site, huge masks depicting dead rulers and gods seem to materialize out of the rainforest amid the chatter of bird life and the haunting call of the Howler monkeys. Our guide will point out the Copal and Raman trees, which were of great importance in ancient times. After a completely once in a lifetime experience, a leisurely journey back will retire our day.

We'll revel in the excitement of maybe landing the big catch of the day, and book our boat now to enjoy first class service from the experienced crew on our great day of sport fishing. Then it's back to the hotel for the coldest beverage in town.

We are so excited to go snorkeling on our honeymoon, floating through the cool blue water as we swim eye to eye with exotic marine life. Paradise found!

Leaving from Las Terrazas' private dock, we will sail south towards Hol Chan where we will sit back, relax and watch the sun set on the Caribbean. While on the cruise, we'll enjoy some of Belize's best Belikin beers or rum punch and listen to some uplifting Caribbean music. The Sunset Cruise includes beer, sodas, rum punch and snacks.

With your wedding gift, we'll toast to a round or two on you. Cheers!
