"As a travel writer and mom of two teenage boys, I've learned the hard way that typical cultural outings and walking tours don't cut it anymore. My older son still hasn't forgiven me for dragging him to both the Amsterdam Cheese Museum and the Tulip Museum in one day. So last November I tried something different: a one-week trip to Belize that mixed jungle, beach, and nonstop adventure."
"Oliver and his crew delivered a fantastic experience. They took us swimming with nurse sharks at Shark Ray Alley, where my boys dared each other to touch a shark (they did). They also got to try using spear guns to catch fish, and although they weren't lucky, they loved the novelty of the experience. While we fished off the boat, the crew dove for fresh conch that became an onboard ceviche snack."
A one-week Belize itinerary combined jungle and beach by splitting time between Ambergris Caye and San Ignacio. Staying in a beachfront three-bedroom suite at Pelican Reef Villas provided space to reduce sibling bickering. A private charter from the resort with Captain Oliver included snorkeling at Shark Ray Alley, close encounters with nurse sharks, spear-gun attempts, fishing, and fresh conch turned into onboard ceviche. The private charter cost about $630–$700, slightly above group rates but considered a good value. The trip emphasized adrenaline-driven activities, varied settings, and shared meals to engage teenagers and create memorable family experiences.
