Fishing
Turneffe and Glover's Atolls are both known worldwide for incredible flats fishing. The grand slam of fly fishing (tarpon, permit and bonefish) is a realistic goal at both resorts. Offshore fishing could net you wahoo, sailfish, marlin, and more.

Unspoiled, the way it ought to be. Protected lagoons lined with mangroves form virgin flats that are home to schools of tailing bonefish and occasional permit. Experienced English-speaking guides will whisk you around remote areas that are rarely touched by other anglers or local commercial fishermen, offering you an exclusive and highly personalized fishing experience.

Offshore fishing will put you in the middle of barracuda, snapper, wahoo, and kingfish. If you're into casual fishing, throw a line from the dock to schools of bonefish and snapper.

Selected catches may be kept at your or your guide's discretion. Bonefish are all strictly catch-and-release. Trolling on the outside of the reef is great for wahoo, grouper, barracuda, jacks, and mackerel.

Our fishing package includes your own personal fishing guide (maximum two persons with guide) for eight hours a day who will assist you in having a successful fishing experience. You may choose to troll or drag or fly fish in the flats or from shore, or fish from our 25-foot open boat.

Be sure to bring your own gear, as the resorts do not provide fishing equipment.

Snorkeling
There are 2 boat trips per day to the best local snorkeling sites, one in the morning & one in the afternoon, and are included in the Snorkel/Vacation package. All are excellent snorkel sites at which you will see stingrays, groupers, eagle rays, nurse sharks and much, much more.  Or, take kayaks out to the reef that is only 2-300 yards from shore. There we have tie-down buoys to secure the kayaks so that you are hands free to snorkel the day away.

Kayaking
Feel free to explore the lagoons around both resorts and the surrounding reefs in our complimentary single and double kayaks, available for your boating pleasure.
