Small Trip Surcharge: All trips have a minimum requirement of 4 adult guests; however, we will run a trip for two to three adults for a surcharge of $300/person. When you sign up for a trip, please be aware you will be charged this additional fee if fewer than four adults sign up. We will bill you two weeks prior to departure for this additional fee if it applies.
Extending Your Stay on the Island: If you are like many of our guests, no number of days is enough time on our island! Divers especially appreciate more days for Belize scuba diving at Glover's Reef. Guests booking directly will receive 25% off the 2nd trip when two island packages are booked back-to-back. We do not offer individual days on the island. This discount is not available for those booking through an agent eligible for commissions, and also not available in addition to any other discounts you may already be receiving. On holiday dates that are blocked for discounts, the 25% back-to-back discount is dropped to 10%.
Combining this trip with our other packages: This trip is designed to dovetail with our other packages.

Kids at Glover's Reef: This trip is perfect for a family adventure vacation. Kids love our island. There is plenty for kids to do right on shore if they are too young to paddle. Kids love exploring the new environment and playing on the beach.
We do not have
guided activities specifically for kids. Each staff member has a full
roster of duties on each trip. Our client to guide ratio is between 2 to
1 and 7 to 1, depending on the group size. This does not allow for
guides to assist in the supervision that children require. Although
Slickrock accepts children at a discount on trips, parents must be fully
responsible for all aspects of monitoring their children. Due to safety
concerns, we have set supervision procedures that parents are required
to follow. Children between the ages of 3-7
must be with one adult in their party at all times. Children between the
ages of 8-10 must be within calling distance of one adult in their party
at all times. Children over 11 are still under the parent’s sole
supervision, but may spend time away from the supervising adult. All parents are responsible for enforcing the 21-age
drinking rule (Belize law) since we use a self-service beer and alcohol
system. One adult must accompany each child — single parents may not
bring more than one child under 11 years of age unless hiring a
babysitter — although couples may bring up to four children as long as
one adult stays with the children at all times. We do not provide child-care
services, although we can help arrange a babysitter. Parents are
encouraged to hire a full-time sitter to assist with supervising their
kids. It will cost $25 US/day for up to 8 hours/day of babysitting.
Slickrock will house (pending space) and feed the sitter at no
additional cost, the only cost to the parent is paying the sitter in
cash at the end of the trip ($200 US - Full Week, $125 US - First Half,
$100 - Second Half).
Since the sitter comes out on the boat with you, you cannot hire them
for a few hours here and there, they are on call for you for the full
trip. Parents may not ask any other guest not in their party to watch their
children. Parents must be fit enough to
paddle their young children in a double kayak if they plan to go
kayaking. Guides cannot do this as they need to be available to rescue
guests and they cannot effectively do this from a double kayak. Single
parents who wish to kayak alone must travel with another adult or hire a
babysitter to supervise their child under 11 years of age while they
kayak. Visit our Kids'
Rates and Restrictions page to learn more about special
prices for kids and for more about scuba restrictions for kids visit
the Scuba
Rates and Courses page.
The Boat Ride: Long Caye is located 35 miles off shore and 70 miles from Belize City. Our boat runs each Saturday and Wednesday and takes about 2 hours; 45 minutes of this ride is an open sea crossing between the Belize Barrier Reef and Glover’s Reef. View our map of Belize, Central America to see our route.
It is common to experience rough seas over this stretch, with large swells and spray. We hire professional captains who have spent their careers handling boats in all conditions, and we are confident in the safety of our passengers. Yet some guests, while safe, may feel concerned if they are not accustomed to traveling on the open sea, and those susceptible to seasickness should take precautions. Be assured that we do monitor weather conditions and safety, and our captain may decide to cancel the boat trip if conditions are deemed dangerous or winds are too high. When this happens, (and it does) we provide other activities.
Our boat is 41 feet in
length and covered for protection in any kind of weather. If you arrive late for any reason, you
will have to charter a boat to
the island. Available charter boats are generally 25-28’ in length and
cost up to $600 US (May 2008 rate) for a one-way trip to Long Caye. We
strongly recommend you fly in a day early to avoid having to make an
open-sea crossing in a small skiff. Local Belizeans do this crossing in
all conditions, but most guests are not used to traveling in a
small boat in rough seas.

Options for First Half Guests After the Trip:
Slickrock now offers an inland tour that dovetails with our First Half Island Adventure trip, and if you sign up for this option you will be met at our dock and driven to Maya Mountain Lodge in western Belize. Please visit our Mayan Odyssey trip page.
Consult our Other Things to Do in Belize page for recommendations of other things to do in the country. Although you don’t arrive in time to catch the last departing flight home to the U.S, you will arrive in time to catch the last domestic flight to other destinations in Belize. We can’t give an exact arrival time of our boat back in Belize City since weather often plays a part in our travel time on the water, but 99% of the time we do arrive in time to catch the last domestic flights and late afternoon busses for travel to other destinations. If flying out the next day, see our About Belize page for recommended Belize City hotels.
Options for Second Half Guests Before the Trip: Since you will be joining trips which are already in progress (Adventure Island and Adventure Week), there is no official pre-trip meeting or orientation before departure to the island on Wednesday. Most guests will already be in Belize doing other activities and will need to make their own arrangements to meet our group in Belize City. The boat will not depart before 9:30 am, so guests may opt to fly into Belize City that same morning (Wed) from their previous destination and take a taxi to the Biltmore Hotel to wait for our pick up at 9:30 am. For convenience, we recommend that guests arriving in Belize City the previous day should simply stay at the Biltmore Hotel in Belize City Tuesday night. If flying in the day before, see our About Belize page for recommended Belize City hotels.
