About
Meet the Stars
Key to success in any business is having the right team, the right ethics and in this case as well, the right choice of vehicles. Our team of guides and back up teams work hard to plan and execute perfect day tours all around Belize. From our base in Belmopan, we provide transfers, tours and transfers with tours all over the country. In some cases where it does not make sense financially or logistically to provide a service ourselves, we use our trusted partners in the North (for border crossings) Belize City (airport to ferry transfers) and occasionally deep south (shorter transfers in the South).
Nick Davies, A British/Belizean, started Darah Travel in 2010 and Darah Transfers and Tours in 2012 and is proud of the way the team provide safe, reliable, fun trips throughout Belize. Meet the team, we’ve got you covered!
