Question: How are the days organized? Are all activities set on specific days (like windsurfing on Mondays, kayaking on Tuesdays, and so on...) or is there flexibility on the agenda? Could we do 3 days of windsurfing and no kayaking? Or what if we want to chill out one day and not do anything? 

Full Week and First Half:

Friday, Day 1: Arrive at Belize International Airport. Taxi to the Belize Biltmore Plaza Hotel for 5:30 p.m. orientation, dinner, and lodging. Our guide will wait for everyone before starting the orientation, and attendance this evening is required. If arriving a day or more early, consult our Belize page for Belize City hotels and activities or our Other Things to Do in Belize page for multi-day excursions in other parts of the country.

Saturday, Day 2: After a group breakfast we walk to our private dock two blocks from the hotel. From here we travel two to two-and-a-half hours to Long Caye (65 miles from Belize City), crossing the Belize Barrier Reef south of Tobacco Caye.

We will love to help you plan your trip to Belize!

Arriving on the island, we unload the boat together and begin our tour of your new home for the week! (Tour in progress at right.) Next you enjoy your first Belizean food. You then move into your cabana, explore the island or take a brief siesta before our first sport orientation, we snorkel right off our shore! After a Belize snorkel orientation, everyone can snorkel as much as they like, as long as they have a buddy to join them. Group snorkel excursions are also scheduled throughout the week. Visit our snorkeling page for more underwater images and a list of creatures we often see.

Sunday, Day 3: This morning we conduct the Belize sea kayak orientation, which is a brief explanation on the beach (in progress at right) followed by a practice session in the water. Our expert guides cover paddle strokes, entering and exiting the kayak while in the water, 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, and fishermen can fish anytime.

Monday, Day 4: Scuba diving classes! The first Discover Scuba/Resort course is offered this morning for beginning divers. This course allows non-divers to learn to scuba dive and continue to dive for the remainder of the week. Others enjoy a morning paddle. Both windsurfing lessons and the kayak surfing orientation 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. Our surf boards provide great action for experienced board surfers..

Tuesday, Day 5: Paddle 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. With a buddy you can sea kayak, snorkel, surf kayak, windsurf, surf, or just relax. Kite boarders can also use the equipment they brought with them at any time.

Second Half Itinerary: On Tuesday Second Half guests fly to Belize City and stay in a hotel on their own, so that they are present to meet us the next morning. We have several recommendations of places to stay in the city, visit our Belize City hotels page to read about them:  We meet the Adventure Week group at 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday at the Biltmore Hotel in Belize City (see Options for Second Half Guests Before the Trip) and launch two blocks away. We arrive on the island before lunch, where the Full Week trip is already in full swing. After lunch and a tour we snorkel the coral reef just off our shore.

Wednesday, Day 6: Begin with a kayak rolling lesson followed by a snorkel around the island. First Half guests depart just after lunch, arriving in Belize City by 3 - 4 p.m. (Nothing is included after lunch on the First Half itinerary, see Options for First Half Guests After the Trip.)

Belize Adventure Week and Second Half guests arrive on the boat that takes the others back to the mainland. Full Week guests stay on to experience sport fishing, one-on-one paddle stroke clinics, stand-up paddling, or kayaking to The Channel to snorkel.

Thursday,
Day 7: Full Week guests: After an early morning surf session 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.

Second Half guests: We start with sea kayak orientation, see the description on Day 3. After lunch, all groups become one with the Glover’s and Adventure Week guides leading non-stop activities. Windsurfing and kayak surfing orientations are given for any guests who want them. 

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 extensive library, and full-moon paddling. Our Belizean cooks prepare fantastic feasts for us, which we enjoy in between this wide array of activities. Please visit our Glover's Reef menu page.

Saturday, Day 9: Snorkel to "The Wall", where an underwater cliff drops from 40 to 2,600 feet in less than a mile. After lunch we load the boat and return to Belize City. Our arrival time cannot be predicted since it depends on factors such as weather and the schedule of the group coming out to the island. Therefore, guests should not make other plans for Saturday night, and this is why we include the last night's hotel stay and meal in the trip price. After checking into the Biltmore, we enjoy dinner at our favorite restaurant.

Sunday, Day 10: Earliest day to fly home.

Slickrock Belize: We specialize in sea kayaking trips and scuba diving trips in Belize, and this is our most open itinerary. You won't find a better spot for Belize kayaking trips anywhere in the country, this is the premier all inclusive sport resort in Belize. The actual day-by-day kayaking adventure will vary according the group's wishes and the weather. View A Map of Belize to see a detailed map of Glover's Reef.
