After a successful trek, it was time for the volunteers to be rewarded with the final party! The group headed to Caye Caulker for a snorkel tour. Accompanied by 'Maggamuffin Tours', the group boarded a sail boat to visit the marine reserves which surround Caye Caulker.
The sites visited were Hol Chan, meaning 'little channel' in Mayan and a natural hang out for marine life, the next site visited was the aptly named Shark and Ray Alley, and as the name suggests it was teaming with Nurse Sharks and Southern Stingrays as well as a huge variety of other marine life.
The group then returned to Caye Caulker watching the sunset and celebrating all of their achievements with a glass of rum punch. They then finished off the evening with a meal at Rasta Pasta where they could choose from local sea food dishes, pasta meals and burritos.
The majority of volunteers will now remain on the island for a week to complete a PADI dive course, while others have headed back to the UK.
This expedition is one that will be remembered by Trekforce for a very long time. The discovery of the sink hole is a unique experience that can never be taken away from the trekkers, the project was more successful than anyone thought it would be, and then to finish it off the volunteers got to reward themselves with time on a Caribbean island. Their achievements illustrate that hard work and a team effort really does pay off!
The UK office will receive more photographs when the trekkers return, so keep a look out on the website for new images of your nearest and dearest coming soon!
