Thanks to whoever wrote this great review on Trip Advisor, which returned us to the #1 ranked Belize resort on Glover’s Reef: I took the Belize Adventure Week trip in April and had an absolutely great time. Half of the trip is inland at the mountain region (Cayo District) and the other half is at Slickrock’s private Island. I traveled solo but never felt alone. Our group was small, just 4

Prominent stand-up-paddleboard website SUP Connect lists Adventure Island on Long Caye as one of five top “exceptional and unique” SUP destinations, along with Punta Mita, Mexico; Dana Point, California; Sauble Lake, Lake Huron, Ontario; and North Shore, Oahu, Hawaii.

We are closed from mid-May through mid-November; the first part of the summer is the rainy season, which then becomes hurricane season in the fall.

I’ve been back from the island about 2 weeks now. It hasn’t been an easy re-entry.

Ospreys are one of the most widespread raptors in our hemisphere, and can be found almost anywhere there is water. Belize is no exception, and hosts a healthy population of this majestic predator, often called the Fish Eagle. On Long Caye we have several nesting pairs of Ospreys which we observe every day fishing, fighting off competitors, and guarding their nests as they raise their young. Osprey

This is how we exit our kayaks to go snorkeling. It’s one of the first things we teach you after you arrive on Adventure Island.
