“Selected as one of the top adventure trips by Outside Magazine “
An excellent-value short trip that lets you experience Belize’s spectacular outer atolls. Stay at our Adventure Basecamp on Southwest Caye, a 13-acre island within Glover’s Reef Marine Reserve. Paddle, kayak sail and snorkel as you explore this pristine group of tropical islands, including some of the 700 patch reefs in a thriving coral reef system. It is our favourite SUP destination, with excellent fishing for bonefish, tarpon and permit, as well as family-style Belizean handline fishing. Each day offers lots of flexibility, with a choice of guided and unguided activities.
