Last year’s lucky winner, Kiki Humes, enjoyed four nights aboard one of Belize Sailing Vacations’ luxury catamarans, sailing alongside the world’s largest living barrier reef, and three nights at the award-winning Rainforest Lodge at Sleeping Giant nestled in the foothills of the Maya Mountains. You can read more about her experience here.

          I was so thrilled to have won a trip with Absolute Belize / Belize Sailing Vacations! Not only was it an incredible getaway, but I had the opportunity to visit many places that my clients ask me about. 
          I loved the 4-day sail and had the opportunity to visit many islands, including San Pedro and Caye Caulker. The staff onboard was incredibly kind and accommodating, and the food and drinks served on board was phonemical with fresh and local ingredients. In addition to exploring some local islands, we had the chance to snorkel the barrier reef every single day, and utilize the kayaks/paddle boards on board. The amount of marine life we saw in those four days was truly incredible and unexpected. It was everything we could’ve ever needed and more. 
          We transferred to the Sleeping Giant Lodge where we spent three nights. The property is tucked in the mountains with gorgeous views and beautiful jungle sounds. The food onsite was also so fresh and amazing! We spent our two full days adventuring off-property, visiting the ATM Cave and Xunantunich. The ATM cave was a bit physically challenging, but something I am so glad to have experienced! What we saw in the cave was truly incredible, and our guide helped us navigate through the cave telling us stories of the past. The ATM cave is an experience I will never forget. Xunantunich was also a very fun excursion, mostly because we really connected with our guide. He brought Xunantunich to life for us, and also shared some insight on what it is like living in Belize. He spotted everything – from birds to spider monkeys, he was one of the best guides I’d ever spent time with! We felt comfortable and cared for throughout the entire trip. 
          It was a treat getting to experience luxury life along the sea and then some cultural time in the jungle with some incredible adventures. Such a memorable trip perfectly executed by the Absolute Belize team. We felt so spoiled with amazing food and top-notch experiences! I know my clients are in great hand with the Absolute Belize team – very thoughtful planning process and some of the best guides and drivers!
