Bid farewell to the rainforest and welcome the turquoise waters of the Caribbean. Our motorboat charter takes us 36 miles offshore to the sun-drenched cayes of Glovers Reef Atoll.
Upon arrival, you’ll receive a camp orientation before settling into your ocean view tent cabana. After 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 Atoll has to offer.
Our itinerary is flexible each day, 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.
