We just created a new webpage with a month-by-month description of the weather conditions in Belize. Storms, wind, dry and rainy season, and hurricane season are all discussed. It’s good to know the weather as the season progresses, because it helps to choose your vacation date based on which sports you are interested in. Windsurfers and kitesurfers should look at January-February, snorkeler

Slickrock has added 3 new ‘cruiser’ paddleboards to our collection of SUP’s this season. This style of paddleboard is designed for longer distance paddling tours, and the boards have a more defined keel for better tracking and a pointed bow to cut through chop. This allows the board to cover more distance efficiently, and is the design used in racing and long distance paddling. We will start

Last week I was on Trip Advisor answering questions about Belize, and someone requested help finding a map of the jungle lodges in Belize. This is something I have always wanted also. There are over 70 jungle lodges in the country, and many of them don’t have a map of their lodge on their own website, so it’s hard to figure out how far they are from town, which road they are on, etc. W

Ospreys are found at all times of the year on Long Caye. There is a large population of ospreys in Belize, and they inhabit practically every island found in the country, since the barrier reef and atolls provide a perfect habitat for these fish-eating raptors with the abundance of fish present. We commonly have two pairs of osprey nesting on Long Caye, and they patrol the island constantly to kee

Many people wonder how to get to Belize from Cancun because occasionally flights to Cancun are so much cheaper. ADO Bus Line, Mexico’s largest bus carrier, has just started direct bus service from the Cancun airport to Belize City. The trip costs around $90 RT and overnight schedules are available to allow travelers the convenience of not having to take an extra day to make the connection betwee

I just found out about this. I hope everyone will consider registering on-line to vote for Belize. In 1991 Islands magazine did a cover story about our kayaking trip off Placencia. This was before we got our own island and moved out to Glovers Reef. You can see the full article here: https://www.slickrock.com/islands.htm. Islands magazine is now holding an online election to choose which country w

Occasionally we get this question… people rightly figure that if they are going south, they want to stay south and see more than just one country. What a great combination! Belize for the coral reefs and Mayan ruins, and Costa Rica for the cloud forest. Only one airline flies between the two, but there is only one stop, so it’s very doable. Taca Air can get you between the two in under four ho
