Delicious

Fun experience and great food. Learned a lot about Central American an Mayan food, and tried some new (local CA) fruits / veggies, as the staff was fun and knowledgable. In addition to making ceviche, we made three pupusas (one was a dessert pupusa), each. So much food that we asked for to go boxes! Tour was slightly shorter than 3 hours - about 2 hours to make the food and then we ate around noon. This is hosted in the restaurant - open air, so it's a bit loud with golf carts and such passing by.

They never told us we had...

They never told us we had to take a boat to another island from where the ship docked . If we had missed our boat it would have cost us more then we lost . We had no way to contact them until we got back to the states . So we lost all the money we paid . Learned a lesson book threw the cruise ship only

We understand your situation and the frustration this may have caused. The location of the class is clearly stated in the activity description, and we regret that you did not have the opportunity to contact us in advance, as some participants do via email or phone to let us know about a possible delay or difficulty. This would have allowed us to offer you alternative solutions. If you ever return to Belize, we would be delighted to welcome you back and offer you this course under better conditions.

Learned a new skill!

Our kids and us really enjoyed this activity, we learned a new skill in a relaxing atmosphere and got to taste the fruits of our labor. The teachers were helpful and knowledgeable. It was a good break from the other more physically active activities we were doing on vacation.

It was like visiting family!

My husband, son, and I attended this cooking class on 3/17. We had a blast. The food was delicious, and we were being taught by the family's elder (grandma). Grandma gave us a lot of kitchen gems that I plan to use at home, and she taught us a lot regarding food preparation. I highly recommend this tour!

Operator response

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled you and your family had such a great time. It means a lot to hear you enjoyed the food and learned from grandma—she truly loves sharing her knowledge. We hope to welcome you again soon!

Had a great time with authentic experience!

My daughter and I wanted an “experience” on our trip to San Pedro and this certainly was a great pick! She made shrimp ceviche and I made the lobster ceviche (u pic the seafood u want to use)! We made 3 different papusas and learned much about the mayan culture! Then we got to sit down with all who participated and have a meal of what we had made! Learned about how important the sunshine is to mayans and eggs! and all their cosmetic uses! So much info-the times goes by way too quickly! thank u for an awesome time!!

Operator response

Thank you so much! 😊 We loved sharing this experience with you and your daughter. It was a pleasure cooking together and talking about Mayan culture. So happy you enjoyed the ceviche, pupusas, and the time around the table. Hope to see you again in San Pedro! 🌞

A very special and irreplaceable experience - 11/10!

My friends and I had an absolutely wonderful time doing this cooking class in Belize! Our instructor Oscar and his mother were so sweet and kind! Oscar translated the instructions and the class in English while his mother spoke in Spanish - which made for a super authentic adn very special experience. We loved that while learning about the meal we were cooking - we also got a brief history and cultural lesson from them as well, along with cooking tips and tricks. After cooking we sat down and ate our food with the rest of the class family style, it was great! Everything was so delicious and we had enough food to take home and eat on for the rest of the day! I look forward to makign my own Ceviche and Papusas at home someday! I would come back to take this class over and over again, it was marvelous!

Operator response

Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 We’re very happy you and your friends enjoyed the class with Oscar and his mother. It means a lot that you appreciated the cooking, culture, and family-style meal. We hope you enjoy making ceviche and pupusas at home, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime! 🌴👩‍🍳
