Snorkeling off Long Caye, Glover's Reef.Next we transfer by boat to Slickrock’s exclusive Water Sport Center on Long Caye at Glover’s Reef, an underwater national park. Here we base from our private island, surrounded by coral reefs and the aqua-blue Caribbean Sea. We use sea kayaks to access Caribbean snorkeling sites and other islands in the atoll. In addition to sea kayaking and snorkeling we have top-notch surf kayaks and surf boards to take advantage of our private wave, and basic windsurfing rigs for beginners and expert rigs for advanced sailors. Belize dive packages are available just down the beach for both certified divers and beginners. Our island is also the perfect location for sport fishing and kite boarding, so bring your gear if you are experienced in either of these sports. Fishermen are always pleasantly surprised to discover that we even pay for their fishing licenses so they can begin to fish right away!

Our eco-resort is powered by the sun and wind only, and you will enjoy cabanas perched on the shore, a huge open-air dining hall where you enjoy cold drinks and home-cooked meals, ecologically-friendly composting toilets, and showers pumped by the sun. Long Caye offers a backdrop few locations can match. We are the only adventure tour operator in Belize with a private island!  To find out more about the atoll, visit our Glover's Reef page.

Surf kayaking off of our island, Long Caye.Inland our lodging is in private, family-style accommodations, and the meals prepared by our lodges include a wide variety of foods, including fresh seafood, tropical fruit salads, and traditional Belizean fare. Cold beverages are always available and included in the trip price.

Accommodations

Maya Mountain Lodge: 
Conveniently located but surrounded by jungle, Maya Mountain is nestled beneath the rainforest canopy. Situated on a large parcel of private land close to San Ignacio, this friendly, family-run jungle lodge boasts an excellent staff and their meals are superb.

 

Maya Mountain Lodge Parrot Perch porch.We stay in "The Parrot Perch", a private family-style house with private rooms and baths, and a huge porch where we enjoy cold drinks after a long day on the river or in the caves. They also have an outdoor dining pavilion, a pool, internet access for guests, and beautifully tended gardens. The setting immerses you in the daily rhythms of the surrounding jungle, and the birding is excellent right on the grounds. Basing out of Maya Mountain for the inland part of Adventure Week allows our groups a perfect blend of accessibility and comfort.

Long Caye at Glover's Reef:
When we first moved to Glover's Reef in 1992 our goal was to create a facility that feels non-developed. Throughout the Caribbean there are very few facilities that are rustic by design. On Long Caye, development means fifteen cabanas, a well-stocked kitchen, solar-powered pumps, a composting toilet, three dozen sea kayaks, a bunch of sailboards and surf kayaks, and a dive shop (the only thing not owned by Slickrock). There are no air conditioners, no maid service, no flush toilets. But there is a fridge permanently loaded with Fantas and Belikin beer. It’s the best in adventure travel — right down to the excellent Garifuna chefs who cook your meal and then sit down with you to dine.

For more details on island accommodations and our island facilities visit these web pages.

Depending on your experience, our Water Sports Center is either the cushiest camp or the most rustic resort you have ever seen. We keep the island in as natural a state as possible, and there is no plumbing; electricity is minimal, we operate on solar and wind power. Two single or one double bed are in each cabana, and the ever-present breeze keeps the temperatures well below what they are on the mainland. Our dining hall is the center of island life, complete with solar-powered lights, propane stove and refrigerator (for cold beer and soda!), and our extensive library. We drink collected rainwater, and we bathe with well-water pumped by the sun (not heated, the showers are about 75 degrees). Composting toilets complete this ecologically friendly set-up.  Please visit our Long Caye page to view more photos of our island.

Belize Biltmore Plaza Hotel.Belize Biltmore Plaza Hotel:
The Biltmore is a full-service hotel located on the outskirts of Belize City, three miles from downtown and near the International Airport. The Biltmore has a business center, beautifully landscaped courtyard, swimming pool, great restaurant, bar, gym, gift shop, tour desk, and internet cafe. It’s perfect for guests who are arriving early or staying late, or who have just a few extra hours in the city. You can also visit the Biltmore's web page.
