What a great tour, very interesting and informative. And even though we are at the start of the blooming season, the flowers that were blooming were beautiful! Our tour guide Antonio and our driver Rickie were wonderful hosts. They explained all about the herbs and spice and even brought some to the cart for us to smell and taste. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour…very pleased.

An awesome tour where you were able to touch and taste all the spices that they grow! Even great on a rainy day as the teak hand built tour wagon is covered and comfortable. The tour guides were incredibly knowledgeable and fun and had us totally engaged.

WOW!!! I never knew what it took to get spices to us!!! Sabastian and Ray gave us a wonderful tour of the spice farm. We tasted raw spices and learned so much! They have built little cabins entirely of teak (even the furniture) grown and milled right there on the farm, and soon you will be able to stay there in the beautiful surroundings. Make sure you visit the farm, you won't regret it!!

Fantastic place. The tour and lunch were excellent and the staff was very friendly and helpful.
Just as we were about to leave the tour guide came to let us know one of our tyres was flat. He and his team changed it on the spot! We were very lucky it happened there.
Had a very nice chat with the owner who, in the past 30 years since he has been there, has developed this incredible place.

This was part of our mayan ruins tour and didn't know what to expect. It turned out to be more fun and informative than expected. We learned a lot and they made it very interactive, by giving leaves or items to taste/smell. This was more worthy than one would expect.

We stopped by the spice farm on a Saturday mid morning. We decided to take the tour which lasted about 45min-1hr. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and taught us so much about all the plants and spices. We got to taste, smell and touch all types of plants: cinnamon leaf, lemon grass, mint, black pepper, turmeric, cacao pod and more. After being driven around the property we decided to eat a snack there and ordered some shrimp and chicken with sides. Everything was tasty. We also bought some spices at the gift shop area.

I picked up Several spaces to bring back to the United States, but my favorite is the cacao nibs that I grind up with my coffee beans in the morning for the best cup of coffee I’ve ever had! I was very impressed with the cacao from the spice farm, the chocolate factory, and those produced by the Tambren Villagers

I visited this farm while on a retreat with a group of people and we were introduced with many everyday spices that are grown on the farm. The highlight was seeing the huge lotuses and smelling and tasting the fresh flavor that we don't normally get to experience with store bought spices. I highly recommend the tour & buying the coffee beans if you’re a coffee lover!

My daughter & I visited on a tour thru Norwegian CL. We loved it. Our guide from the farm was so informative & interesting. He stopped often to explain & get samples for us to hold or to try. They have so many varieties of flowers, spices and plants! Plenty of picture opportunities. At the end, you can buy spices, snacks & souvenirs.

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?

Hi
Black little (very tiny) insect may be sand fly mostly seen in sandy beach area. We have Dr flies (like horse fly in US) not too much sand fly. It is seasonal.
I think a mild hydrocortisone cream (0.25 %) may help.
If infected ,may need antibiotics. Sorry this happened .How can I make it up to you
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.

We are wheel Chair friendly. Basically no steps
Probably the first such facility in S . Belize
Our guide keep a close eye on people who may need assistance and offer help .

We're considering this for our tour in January on the NCL ship. For buying spices and sauces, does the Belize Spice Farm take credit cards? What are the range of prices for fresh spices and sauces?
Thomas M

Yes we take Credit cards , the old fashioned way (no Good internet connection)
I will try to get you a price list, It is a long list
