Creator's Key Takeaways

We were going to do a different included excursion, but somehow we on our part made a reservation snafu and so we pivoted to do this feebased excursion to the mangro forest and we're glad we did it.

Viking did a great job of organizing and coordinating all the tenders to get its passengers into the country for the tours.

Their boat ride was fun and different from the one that we had in the Everglades.

All in all, this was a fun little excursion.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you have mobility issues, the excursion is labeled as easy and should be manageable.
Consider the airboat tour in the mangrove forest if you have a port stop in Belize.
