Owner's Message
Hello and Welcome to Hailey Bee Charters & Tours, where we want to assist in making your experience just that…Unforgettable!
Let’s introduce ourselves, as the owners of this adventure. Lincoln Garbutt, and Gaby Sanchéz, here to serve you and provide you an excursion you’ll never forget. We came together to make Hailey Bee Charters & Tours, after Mr. Garbutt experienced the loss of his daughter Hailey, whom their family lovingly called, “Bee”, because just as a bumble bee anatomically should not be able to fly, due to the body being heavier than its wings, Hailey “bee” refused to accept her limitations, and would do “her” in spite of what she was told she could, she should or would not do. She knew her strength better than her mother and father did.
At birth “Bee” was given a life expectancy of 2 weeks, due to a congenital medical condition known as Hydrocephalus “Water on the brain.” Her mother was determined to make every minute of the 336 hours given count, to make sure she lived the best 2 weeks of her life. Her mom’s strength, love and determination made it to where she became their miracle baby. Hailey lived to see 8yrs and 53 days! With a complex list of medical conditions. “Bee” was wheelchair bound, due to having cerebral palsy, being quadriplegic, g-tube fed, Epileptic, COPD & Blind. Even though unable to see with her eyes and enjoy the beauty’s of nature, Hailey Bee enjoyed the beauty of life…She listened closely to everything, whispers were non existent to her, she saw with her hands, as she always placed her hand over Lincoln’s heart and would bust a smile like no other because she knew her dad was with her. She would listen to her siblings whisper and would grunt as to let them know “include me guys,” and her smile would be the light that would pull her mom to come out of darkness. through her many hospitalizations & even though she always would fight to stay with her loved ones, mom would always tell her “you are the light and it will not go dim, only when you’re ready.”
The family would take Hailey “Bee” on cruises, beach camping & to amusement parks, such as Disneyland (her favorite), just to name a few of her adventures, since she, unlike the BEE, was unable to fly. During her many ocean & beach experiences, Hailey was her happiest and would (what seems like) pause/numb any illness symptoms, to enjoy her water life. Mom connected that and would make her most attempts to have her oceanside as much as possible. Hailey “Bee” was the true example of “Water & Life Cycles are One” water cleanses & refreshes all creatures without distinction & without judgment…As she lives now free, to be the “Bee”… our little honey bee forever.
With this shared Ms. Sanchez, has made the business with Mr. Garbutt, so that Hailey “Bee’s” legacy can live on and bring true meaning to “we only live one life and we must live it to the fullest” and that is our goal to have our customers enjoy the waters of Belize with tours that offer fishing, snorkeling, dolphin sightings, shark feeding & amp; for a moment share in “Bee’s” joy. We aim to provide you with the most pleasant experience as a tourist in beautiful Belize, with the least effort from you, our tourists.
