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. Obviously if you build a building, that’s some level of development. But 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 water 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 these and other island amenities visit our web page. Please visit our beach cabana page to view more photos of our island facilities.

Biltmore Plaza Hotel:
The Biltmore
is a full-service hotel located on the outskirts of Belize City, three
miles from downtown near the 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 arrive early, stay late, or who have just a few
extra hours in the city. You can also visit the
Biltmore's
web page.

Picture yourself on a private island...lost in the Caribbean and forgotten by
the world. No modern conveniences,
no schedules, no problems. It sounds like a fantasy, but you can
experience it yourself on Long Caye resort in Belize
at Glover's Reef.
Each
day we introduce a new sport. We begin by paddling sea kayaks to magical scuba/snorkeling spots or to nearby islands. Another day finds us in surf
kayaks shredding the waves just off our shore, or scuba diving the underwater
"Wall" within swimming distance of our island. At night we enjoy
home-cooked meals featuring
Belizean seafood.

Slickrock
spares no effort to ensure that our tour is the best sea kayak trip in
Central America, if not the entire Caribbean. In addition to the luxury
of a secluded, private island, our gear is top-notch: we have
surfboards, a fleet of 40+ sea kayaks, fishing and surf kayaks, surf
skis, and windsurfing gear for all ability levels. We even pay for your
fishing license! For those
interested in diving, our dive shop offers dives and courses just down the beach for both certified divers and
beginners.

Our guides are carefully selected from the most experienced professionals in the business. Our facilities are rustic, private, and comfortable, featuring two-person, thatch-roofed cabanas perched right on shore and spaced for privacy. We have a rainwater collection system for drinking water, unlimited showers pumped by the sun (air temperature), and ecologically-friendly composting toilets. Our menu consistently receives rave reviews, and cold beer and soda are included in the trip price. Our boat leaves right out of Belize City for our guests’ convenience.
Full Week Itinerary (for more details visit Belize Adventure Island Itinerary)
Friday, Day 1: Meet at the Belize Biltmore Plaza Hotel for 5:30 p.m. orientation, dinner, and lodging. Our guide will wait for everyone before starting the orientation.
Saturday, Day 2: After group breakfast walk to our private dock two blocks away. From here we travel two-and-a-half hours by boat to Long Caye (65 miles), crossing the Barrier Reef south of Tobacco Caye. After lunch, move into your cabana, explore the island, and snorkel right off our shore after the orientation.
Sunday, Day 3: Our sea kayak orientation is this morning: we cover paddle strokes, entering and exiting the kayak, and rescue techniques. After lunch one guide takes a group paddling to a nearby patch reef to snorkel from the kayaks, while another guide offers windsurfing instruction. Certified divers may also begin diving.
Monday, Day 4: The first Discover Scuba/Resort course is often offered this morning for beginning divers. Others enjoy a morning paddle. Both windsurfing and kayak surfing orientations are offered in the afternoon. You may join one or both, then continue to practice these sports with or without a guide for the rest of the week. We have a near-constant breeze and a perfect set of waves breaking just off our shore, and our surf boards provide great action for experienced board surfers.
Tuesday, Day 5:
Paddle (or wind permitting, kite sail) five miles round-trip to Middle
Caye to tour the Marine Research Center, base for visiting marine
biologists. You may also choose “island time” and stay on the island.
You can sea kayak, snorkel, dive, surf kayak, windsurf, surf, or just
relax.
Wednesday, Day 6: Begin with a kayak
rolling lesson followed by a snorkel around the island. Later in the
day we continue to dive or to experience sport fishing. We also offer
one-on-one paddle stroke clinics, or kayaking to The Channel to snorkel.
Thursday, Day 7: After an early morning surf session or early
morning dive we paddle outside the reef to snorkel at a unique
channel-and-groove site. After lunch we take a low tide walk off the
eastern shore to find a myriad of starfish, sea urchins, and octopus.
“Hammock surfing” is another extremely popular activity. Dives are
offered 3 times this afternoon and evening.
Friday, Day 8: Our final full day is always the best. Get in more
diving, snorkeling, or shredding. Other options include paddling 12
miles round-trip to Southwest Caye, night snorkeling, reading from our
island library, and full-moon paddling. Our Belizean cooks prepare
fantastic feasts for us, which we enjoy in between this wide array of
activities.
Saturday, Day 9: One final dive or snorkel to “The Wall”, where
the ocean floor drops from 40 to 2,600 feet in under a mile. After lunch
we return to Belize City. Our arrival time cannot be predicted since it
depends on factors we cannot control. Therefore, guests should not make
other plans for Saturday night. After checking into the Biltmore, we
enjoy dinner at our favorite restaurant.
Sunday, Day 10: Earliest day to fly home, or continue to other
spots in Belize for the rest of your trip.

night (depending on what you want and if you are staying additional days
in the country) but you make all arrangements. You may read
