Adventure Island Belize – Full Week

Belize Adventure Travel Deals – Sports Vacation Packages

PICTURE YOURSELF ON A PRIVATE ISLAND, lost in the Caribbean and forgotten by the world. No modern conveniences, no schedules, no problems. It sounds like a fantasy, but you can experience it yourself on Long Caye Resort in Belize at Glover’s Reef. This is the best of adventure travel deals in Belize.

The Best Vacation Deal in Belize

Because everything is included, you don’t even need your wallet for the whole week. These are the best adventure deals you can find in Belize. There are no hidden costs, apart from scuba diving, flights, and travel insurance. We include just about everything, including teaching you to kayak, windsurf, snorkel, and stand up paddleboard, which is available all day, every day. Our menu is fantastic, the food is plentiful, and snacks are available all day long as well.

Each day we introduce a new sport. We begin by paddling to a magical snorkeling site. Another day finds us in surf kayaks surfing the only surf wave in Belize just off our shore, or scuba diving Long Caye Wall. At night we enjoy Belizean home-cooking.

Slickrock spares no effort to ensure that our tour is the best eco tour in Belize. In addition to the luxury of a secluded, private island with arguably the best beach in Belize, our gear is top-notch: we have surfboards, a fleet of 40+ sea kayaks, fishing and surf kayaks, paddleboards, and windsurfing gear for all ability levels. Belize dive packages are available just down the beach for both certified divers and beginners.

Our guides are among the most experienced professionals in the business. Our facilities are rustic, private, and comfortable; featuring thatch-roofed Belize beach huts perched right on shore. We have a rainwater collection system for drinking water, unlimited showers pumped by the sun (air temperature), and ecologically-friendly composting toilets. Our menu consistently receives rave reviews, and cold beer and soda are included in the trip price. Our boat leaves right out of Belize City for our guests’ convenience.

No Experience Needed

This trip is designed for those looking for an active Belize vacation, although no experience is required. Each sport is introduced, taught, and guided by expert guides, and each sport is suitable for a complete beginner in good shape. People who are in decent physical shape and have a good attitude will do fine. Hundreds of our guests have commented that this is the best vacation of their lives. Come see for yourself why our guests return year after year!

Accommodations

Long Caye at Glover’s Reef

7 nights

We first moved from Placencia, Belize out to Glover’s Reef Atoll in 1992. Our kayak adventure out of Placencia was run like a river trip, kayaking from island to island, camping out, and cooking over an open fire. We wanted a little more permanence on the island, but our goal was to create a facility that feels non-developed. Obviously when you build a building, that is development. But we created a resort that is exactly where we would want to go on vacation, environmentally-conscious glamping on a private island.

On Long Caye, development means sixteen cabanas, a well-stocked kitchen, solar-powered water pumps, a composting toilet, a hammock palapa, a dock just for watching the surfers as well as the sunrise, three dozen sea kayaks, a bunch of sailboards, surf boards, and surf kayaks, and a dive shop (the only thing not owned by Slickrock).

There is no air conditioning, maid service, wifi or cell phone service, and no flush toilets (since we only offer eco tours in Belize, we make sure we flush nothing into the sea.) But there is a fridge permanently loaded with Fantas and Belikin beer, and your cabana sits just feet from the Caribbean Sea. It’s the best in adventure travel — right down to the fabulous Belizean guides who teach you to surf all day and then sit down with you for dinner.

Depending on your past experience, our island facility is either the most comfortable camp or the most rustic resort you have encountered. We maintain the island in as natural a state as possible, and there is no standard electricity or plumbing. Think Swiss Family Robinson, or Gilligan’s Island. Every cabana is right on the shore and the tropical breezes keep the temperature well below what they register on the mainland (see Belize temperature). This all adds up to one of the best beach resorts in Belize.

Each cabana has single or double beds, a solar-powered light, and a porch with hammocks and lounge chairs (see the island accommodations page for more photos and information).

Our dining hall features solar and wind-powered lights and music, propane stoves and solar-powered refrigerators to chill our water, beer, soda, wine, as well as our extensive library.

We drink filtered rainwater, and we bathe with well water pumped by the sun (not heated, the showers are about 75 degrees). Composting toilets complete this ecologically friendly set-up. Our spacious island (13.5 acres) and idyllic facilities ensure your comfort without compromising the adventure of living on an undeveloped and uncrowded island. Best of all, there is a hammock waiting for you under the palms. See our island facilities page for more detail.
