Description: From its origin deep within the Maya Mountains the
Sittee River snakes its way to the sea with its mouth just south of Hopkins.
Our trip starts near the Creole village of Sittee River and slowly heads
towards the ocean. You will have fun spotting green and orange iguanas
lounging in trees and maybe a crocodile resting at the water's edge. Parrots,
toucans, motmots, herons and egrets often can be seen -- and heard! We
have seen stingrays, manatee and crocodiles far upriver. If you are adventuresome
you can navigate up Boom Creek, a dense, vine draped tributary to Sittee
River. As we get closer to the sea the dense jungle gives way to large
mangrove forests.
Please Note:
A Belizean tour guide accompanies all tours.
We cannot control the weather! It may rain for days and you
may experience the rainforest in the rain! Come prepared with adequate
rain gear and a positive attitude.
Trip alterations may occur due to inclement weather or factors
beyond our control.
Comfortable hiking shoes or sturdy tennis shoes are recommended
for most inland adventures. Open sandals are ideal for resort wear
and the beach.
We have a healthy environment and creatures great and small
thrive. We recommend that you use insect repellent and sunscreen during
all inland adventures.
The national parks of Belize encompass natural habitats for
wildlife such as tapir, jaguar, monkeys, snakes and crocodiles. Even
though all of the above animals have been seen by our guests, we cannot
guarantee that any specific wildlife will be spotted during your adventures.
Hamanasi is not liable for any injury sustained on a tour.
We promote low impact tourism and request that our guests only
walk on prepared trails in the jungle.
As visitors in beautiful Belize we ask that you respect and
are sensitive to the local culture. |
