belize adventure tours at Banyan Bay resort

Belize jungle river toursWhen you take an adventure tour to the rivers, jungles, and Maya ruins of Belize you may be lucky enough to do it with Daniel Nunez and his exceptional, first class guides, all hand picked and trained by him. Daniel was honored last year with a prestigious Ecological Award presented to him in Switzerland in 2003 honoring his excellence in environmental knowledge and concern for the Belizean wildlife that allows him to make a living. We at Banyan Bay salute Daniel for his enthusiasm with our groups and whether you are cave tubing down a river in Belize, searching out manatee in the Belize River, spotting a jaibaru along the Northern Highway, making monkey sounds at the Belize Zoo or simply playing with the dolphins on the boat ride back from the jungle while sipping on his famous rum punch at sunset, his trips are not to be missed!
