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

Dear Slickrock Friends, I trust all’s well with you and yours. As mentioned in previous updates, I have spent 17 years developing an eco-friendly business plan, rather than the dream of having an island. The group of extremely decent people at Slickrock had a spark that I had a very good gut feeling about when I first met them face-to-face way back in 2011. Not only were they highly experien

Dear Slickrock Friends, I trust all’s well with you and yours. I’d like to wish our founder Cully Erdman a very happy birthday today. Forty-four years ago he founded Slickrock Adventures, from very humble beginnings in 1977. I class him as an inspiration, mentor, and good friend, knowing each other for nigh on a decade.

Dear Slickrock Friends, I hope all’s well with you and yours. I’ll do my best not to bombard you with a million and one updates, just once a month from now on in, as I know how annoying it can be to be over the top. I know it is last minute, but we have spaces left on 12th February for Valentine’s, and 19th March if you fancy some time away from it all in sunny Belize. Covid-19 T

Dear Slickrock Friends, We have celebrated George Price here in Belize today. He was the first prime minister when independence was gained from the United Kingdom in 1981. Today was his birthday and has just been declared a new bank holiday. He became a member of the legislative council (1964), mayor of Belize City (1958-62), first minister (1961), and then premier under the new system of interna

Dear Slickrock Friends, We have opened up 12th February 2021 as a week for general bookings, rather than the private charters for all other weeks until further notice. We’d love to welcome you to our special island, away from any stresses in your life with your loved one. Just close your eyes and picture the sun illuminating the blue skies and azure water during the day. Just the moon and st

Happy New Year! Dear Slickrock Friends, 2021 will get better as the world tackles Covid-19 slowly but surely. 2020 was certainly a year to write off, to say the least. Easter, summer, and Christmas like no other year in recent history. Even during the world wars, life went on. 2020 zoomed past, with more Zoom meetings than you could ever wish for. The team are beneficiaries of a long-term trust,
