Excursion ... are you in?

Join us for a day trip on Friday, May 4 aboard the Seaduction catamaran. There's no more luxurious way to see what Ambergris Caye is famous for, and we've arranged for a discount through the Seaduced by Belize tour company.

Snorkel along the world's second-longest barrier reef. We'll visit the Hol Chan Marine Reserve and Shark Ray Alley and sail to nearby Caye Caulker, Ambergris Caye's sleepier sister island.

Don't want to snorkel? No worries. The boat is a great way to relax and see the reef and all its marine life.

With 20 people or more, we'll have the boat to ourselves, so please let us know in the next week whether you are interested in this excursion and how many in your party would attend.**

Cost: $60 U.S., if paid in cash or traveler's check. Regular cost: $75. The cost includes snacks, water, rum punch and lots of the local Belikin beer.

For more information about the trip, visit their site. Just scroll to the bottom and click on Caye Caulker.
