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

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

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
