Manuel Antonio National Park-Costa Rica

Adventure guide, Rey, breezes by our table during the cocktail hour. “Make sure to bring your phones tomorrow. Trust me,” he smiles, before moving to the next table. Being firm instruction followers, we pack our phones in our daypack as we prepare for our day at Manuel Antonio National Park. Our skift lands on one…
Life for Life Turtle Project Hike-Costa Rica

Hiking boots laced and poles in hand, we make our way to the Life for Life Turtle Project. At times, the hiking trail is narrow. At one point, we must step aside to allow a horse to pass. We learn that it is Ricardo’s (Life for Life’s operator) sons who are leading the horse home.…
A Day in Golfo Dulce-Costa Rica

The morning begins with a border crossing. A small boat approaches, spilling out a group of agents who board our Uncruise ship. The agents are quick and efficient, and soon, we are stamped out of Panama, and stamped into Costa Rica. Since the border crossing takes up a little extra time in the morning, our…
Snorkeling Granito de Oro Island-Panama

“There’s a hawksbill turtle laying at the bottom,” says Liza. “Here, give me your camera and I’ll see if I can get a shot of it.” I hand my gopro over to Liza. She dives to the bottom to get a shot of the turtle, but the turtle is not content with an imagine of…
Morning on Coiba Island-Panama

We are up at sunrise, and what a spectacular sunrise it is. We’re not avid bird watchers, more avid animal of any kind watchers, so when the opportunity arises to go on a bird watching hike, it sounds like the makings of a wonderful morning. Light continues to seep into the sky as our skift…
Exploring Isla Iguana-Panama

The morning is filled with excitement, as we board the skift, eager for our first off ship adventure. With Jenny as our guide, our skift cruises around the shore of Isla Iguana, an island, wildlife refuge, in Panama. As red throated frigates circle overhead, Jenny imparts information regarding their nesting and mating habits. As we…
Playing Hide-and-Seek in San Pedro

We stand and watch as the water taxi glides away. We missed it by mere minutes. Now we must wait an hour-and-a-half for the next taxi. We settle down under a palm tree on the beach and put things into perceptive. An hour-and-a-half sitting on a beach beats an hour-and-a-half in a cubicle any day. …
Munching in San Pedro

While researching for our Belize trip,I read a lot of blog posts and articles that compared Caye Caulker and Ambergris Caye. In the end we chose Caye Caulker because it was quiet, chill, and easily traversed by foot. Still, we wanted to spend at least a little bit of time checking out the island that…
Places to Watch Sunrise and Sunset on Caye Caulker-Belize

We divided our time. We watched the sunset twice at The Split, and twice at the backside beach area. If you are on the island, I recommend both as each offers its own unique experience.
