Fabulous Education on All Kinds of Spices

Thirty years ago a Belize resident from India realized the similar weather and founded this farm to raise spices previously grown in India. Over the years, some spices were proved economic to raise and growing was expanded while others remained as small demonstration plots. Today...More

The tour was spectacular. Amazing information and knowledgeable staff. I would highly recommend. We went on to purchase a number of items at the gift shop. An employee offered to wrap two of the items to help keep them safe during our travels. Those items...More

Wasn’t sure what to expect after (disappointingly) visiting a chocolate farm earlier in our cruise. This place was awesome. The main building is beautiful, made from teak wood, as was much of the furniture. First we boarded a tram which took us through the farms...More

Thanks for the kind words and compliments. Sorry about the lunch being "expensive" We try hard to keep price as low as possible. Being in the jungle and not having grid power etc add to our expenses.

Got bit several times at the Spice Farm tour I got bit by a black flying insect several times. We did bring bug spray with us but I forgot to put some on. We sat in the back of the tractor ride and our daughter who was carrying the bug spray sat in the very front while we went through the tour and I kept feeling something bite my ankles I would look down and see a black flying insect. I tried to shake my legs as to not cause a scene and scream and ruin the tour for everyone but it kept coming back to bite. This ruined the trip for me as all I could focus on was my ankles as if I took my eyes off for a minute and I stopped shaking my legs I would get bit again. Now 2 weeks later I have these swollen bites that are uncontrollably itchy. Can someone tell me what bit me so I can look up how to treat the bites?

We are considering this tour in April - part of the NCL Ship. I read that the tour includes a lot of walking and stairs. Are the 100 steps that the fine print mentions all at once ? We are a group of 4 and one of the ladies has not great knees. Just want to know exactly how much climbing is needed etc. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
