Miguel did a fantastic job giving us history & context around the Mayan Temple, followed by fun kayak ride on the river with Luis and a wonderful Belize lunch.

Our guide Louise was not friendly and not helpful. There was not any private area for us to change our cloth after the kayaking. Also he offer us the lunch in bad area with a lot of animal poops and bad smell which we declined .. it was really bad experience . I will not advice going with this company .

We were very fortunate to have Eddie as our guide. It was just my husband, myself and Eddie on this tour. The ruins are compact and close to San Ignacio. Eddie was very informed about the ruins and equally versed in kayaking down the white rapids. The Mopan River can be very tough. My husband fell out of his kayak several times and Eddie was there for the rescue. Take this trip only if you are willing to fall off your kayak and get wet, Take this river seriously and have a great time. The scenery is beautiful.
