Product Description
From the aerial view to the human perspective, Exploring Horizons travels off the beaten path to the remote corners of the world and finds those places where civilization moved in without taking over. Three stunning seasons cover a cross section of culture, adventure and amazing places that make up our global village. Shot in North America, Central America, South America, Europe & North Africa. Skim the surf of the Great Barrier Reef in open cockpit Snorkel with the sharks in Shark-Ray Alley Join the bonfire and jam with local Garifuna drummers Dive into the wonders of the Great Blue Hole Learn to dance the Punta with Jolly Roger Free dive with a local fisherman who finds his catch the traditional way The charming island of Caye Caulker in Belizes Great Barrier Reef is one of the last to remain protected from the onslaught of resort hotels and mass tourism. Only half a mile wide and four miles long, the island is peaceful and quaint and the order of the day is to go slow - an easy task as there are no motorized vehicles. The local Mestizo, Garifuna and Creole cultures provide an eclectic mix of music, food and atmosphere that perfectly compliment the wondrous delights of the Barrier Reef. From deep beneath the surface to soaring aerial perspectives - this show explores the pleasures of paradise, revealed through local eyes.

Misleading March 10, 2008
Pat (Michigan)
I found this DVD disappointing. Listed as 60 minutes, it is actually barely 45 minutes in length, with very odd 'breaks' as if for insertion of commercials when used by a PBS. Also the reference to the "Great Barrier Reef" is totally erroneous. I ignored the misnomer on the promo text and label packaging as marketing ignorance, but was appalled by that verbal misuse, not once but three times, by a primary documentary host. The Belize Barrier Reef is just that. As an educator, I am unable to use this DVD for that reason. Depictions of the island residents, their lifestyles, and accomodations are realistic. The segment on punta dancing is good but minimal, not quite enough for me to overlook the other discrepancies.
