kaokao chocolate factory tour Small factory with a great staff. The whole family enjoyed this one. After a lesson on the background of chocolate and cocoa beans we made our own chocolate and from start to finish.
After our tour we also visited Mr. Sancho's on a pay as you go type of plan. We rented a cabana and swam for hours. Lunch was tasty - great guacamole!
This was by far our favorite part of the cruise. My 11 year old and 19 year old sons had a blast. We traversed about 12 lines during our trip. Our guide Michael was a great source of information and helped us to videotape a few of our lines.
We did the Altun-ha and Belize City tour booked through the cruise line.
The guide, Maria, was excellent. Her partner, Mr. Prim, was very hard to understand and didn't seem to have his 'patter' down, relying on us to ask questions to guide his discussion.
The ruins were very cool, and we were able to climb to the top of two of the temples.... what a view!!
The amount of time in this port made it feel unwise to take an excursion. we strolled around the port stores for an hour or so and went back to the ship for some r&r.
