Trip Itinerary
Meals: Lunch & Dinner
An 8am boat charter from the town dock in Dangriga takes us beyond the main Barrier Reef to our private basecamp on Southwest Caye, Glover's Reef. Upon arrival, your guides will introduce you to your new environment, give you a camp orientation, and allow you to settle into your tent cabana. Before lunch, our guides will show you the fundamentals of sea kayaking, snorkeling, and marine water safety in preparation for either a paddle or snorkel to a nearby patch reef. One of 700 coral sites Glover’s Reef has to offer. After lunch, we get back out on the water where the adventure continues.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Our itinerary is flexible in order to accommodate individual and group preferences, as well as weather conditions. Activities include paddling, snorkeling the inner and outer walls of the reef, stand up paddleboarding (SUP), learning to sail a kayak, fishing, spear-fishing and a variety of other surprises. In the mornings we host informative sessions on the history of Belize, its unique marine ecosystem and the local culture. Just a stone’s throw from shore are excellent fishing waters, where guests can fly fish for bonefish or tarpon. Guests who prefer a more leisurely pace can always take time to kick back in a hammock and relax with a good book!
Evenings at Glover's Reef are filled with happy hour gatherings, games, music, cold beverages, cultural presentations and incredible Caribbean sunsets.
Meals: Breakfast & Lunch
Many guests choose to wake up early on this final morning and have a leisurely coffee on the dock. You may want to watch the sun rise over the atoll, then enjoy a hearty breakfast and get out on a paddleboard or snorkel one last time. The boat charter departs after an early lunch to take you back to the mainland, arriving at approximately 2:00pm. Your trip finishes in Dangriga at the town dock. Our helpful staff will assist you with connecting to the next leg of your journey.
