Belize travel review – Our biggest fan

Chuck and Kelly Cray joined us on the island last April with their 2 daughters ages 7 and 10. I was there at the time, and it was a really great week. My favorite trips are the ones with lots of kids because the presence of kids on the island makes everyone more playful. The guides especially love the kids because they are missing their own kids, because they are gone at home for 2 weeks at a time

Belize 1 week itinerary

If you are planning to visit Belize, likely you have around 8 or 9 days to spend on your vacation. Most people like to do a combination of island and inland. Then they get the best of both: incredible Caribbean island with white coral sand and tall, shady palm trees coupled with deep jungle full of tropical birds, exotic flowering plants, and Mayan ruins. Our island packages to Long Caye are some

Do you ever wonder what it’s like to work for us?

Laia Lanaquera Donet was one of our kitesurf instructors in Belize 3 years ago. Instructing on our private island at Glover’s Reef, at times she was our only instructor and was responsible for our entire kitesurfing program. She only worked for us for one year unfortunately, because after working for us one winter, she got a permanent position as a school teacher in Spain, where she lives. W

Hermit crab shell exchange

When guests first arrive on our island in Belize, we take them on a tour. In about 45 minutes we show them everything they need to know about the island for the week: where their cabana is, where the bathrooms are, how to check out and return our sport gear, where to find the cold beer, etc. It’s my job to conduct the tour, and one of the odd things that happens every single week is I can

Island well water

There are two kind of water on our Belize island: rain water and well water. Rain water is collected on our roofs and we use it for drinking, cooking, and tooth brushing. Even though we have over 15,000 gallons of storage capacity, we conserve this water. Once we run out, that’s it until the next rainy season. Right now we are just entering peak dry season. So it’s crucial to have well

Island DownTime

Every once-in-awhile the island will be the host of what we will call “inclement” weather, somewhat beyond the type of weather that brings us excellent surf for kayak surfing… … or just the right wind for windsurfing. And since, for Slickrock, the number one priority on the island is safety, water activities could be canceled. If this happens, hopefully everyone has read the inform
