[gheardy]

Have any one ever done the crooked tree wild life before?

I will be in Belize second week in Feb on NCL.

I love to bird watching.

I heard a lot about Crooked tree.Seems like no one ever been there.

No one ever recomend Crooked tree wild life. :)

I'm bumping this up, because I would also like some info on this place. I found a tour operator who is offering a 4 hour tour to Crooked Tree and it sounds like something I would enjoy, but I would like to hear from somebody who's actually been there. Are the birds easy to see or are they hidden in the trees and you need binoculars to see them? Are there other animals there as well? Once at the Sanctuary do you drive through or do you get out and walk?

I have heard from a friend that when I visit Belize in a couple of weeks that Crooked Tree is something worth seeing. We're going to be on the Grand Princess and taking the tour through the cruiseline. We're only in Belize 6 hours and Princess will allow their tours off the ship first as one must use tenders.

Good Luck!!

Westcliffebob,

Please let us know your opinions on it when you return. I'd like to hear what you thought of the place, good or bad. Unfortunately our ship doesn't offer a tour to there (at least I didn't see it listed), so we'll book through an independant guide if we decide to go.

Gheardy,

I'm looking forward to your review of the excursion. Have a good time on the cruise.

Mslaabs,

I had a great time with ***** , We had 3 hrs on the boat. The water was very low, the boat had go very slow in the area of the Lagoon, When we got in the river then the boat went much faster. Through the Lagoon we saw all the birds like storks we saw 2 crocodiles, 4 howler monkeys on the river side, and few iguanas.

We saw much of the birds very close, we had use the binoculers for birds that is a distance away. The boat could not go where the water was very low. There is so much to see on the Lagoon.

Hey Chris Margret says she is waiting for you to be her neighbour. :)

Gheardy,

Thanks for the review. You said it was a 5 hour tour and you spent 3 in the boat. Did you spend the other 2hrs travelling to & from the Sanctuary? One more question, did ***** meet you at the tender dock?

[gheardy]

Mslaabs,

It was 1 hr traveling to the Sanctuary and 1 hr back to the tourist area.

As the tender arrive at the tourist area, There was Margaret standing with a sign with my name.They pick you up at the dock and drop you off back. We were the only group from the ship that was there at the Sanctuary. The ship does not sells Crooked tree wild life. mail mdstourstravel1@yahoo.com :)
