Happy New Year! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas, and may your 2022 be a good one. As we reflect on the past year, which actually goes back two years to the Covid situation that started to impact the business, I would like to reassure you that we are still here, despite bruises caused by Covid’s wrath. I have some very basic goals that I am 110% focused on. They are giving the Belizean

Dear Slickrock Friends, We’re a hop, skip, and jump away from opening, and it would be great to welcome you to our island this winter. We are running trips with a very minimum of 15 guests, and have more than enough space for you to feel a calming sense of mind that you’re likely in the safest of places to go on holiday (or vacation, my North American friends). Just close your eyes and

Dear Slickrock Friends, As we get within a whisker of opening for the season, we’re hopeful the world, indeed tourism, will get back to some sort of normality from November. To give you absolute peace of mind, we are continuing to implement safety protocols to keep you within a protective bubble. From the moment you exit the airport, to the moment you check in for your onward departure at

Dear Slickrock Friends, I trust all’s well with you and yours. I would like to wish Lucy Wallingford a very Happy Birthday today. She joined Cully’s journey way back in 1986, until retiring in 2018, although she is still a very valued member of the Slickrock family. Growing up in Austin, Texas, but residing in Moab, Utah, she was absolutely instrumental in Slickrock’s growth from

Dear Slickrock Friends, I trust all’s well with you and yours. As normality returns to normal(ish), we are concreting plans for next season. In the ten years, I’ve been involved with Slickrock, I have only ever seen dolphins twice before. Both times were in a smallish boat and in The Blue (2,500+ ft), which is between the Barrier Reef and Glover’s Reef Atoll. The very last trip o

Dear Slickrock Friends, I trust all’s well with you and yours. As the rainy season officially begins, we’re looking to navigate our way through the biggest crisis most of us have experienced in our lifetimes and Slickrock’s biggest challenge since it was established way back in 1977. My two biggest priorities are to look after the Slickrock family now and in the long term, as w
