Looking east at Long Caye, the famous dive site, "The Wall" is visible in the lower left corner. The other side of the atoll, 6.5 miles away, is visible in the top of the photo.

Adventure Island Resort

When Slickrock first moved out to Glover's Reef Atoll in 1992 our goal was to develop a facility that feels non-developed. Obviously if you build a building, that’s some level of development. But throughout the Caribbean there are very few facilities that are this rustic by design. There is a hammock on Long Caye with your name on it!

 

 

On Long Caye development means fifteen cabanas, a well-stocked kitchen, solar-powered water pumps, a composting toilet, three dozen sea kayaks, a bunch of sailboards, surf boards, fishing kayaks, and surf kayaks, and a dive shop (the only thing not owned by Slickrock). There is no maid service; there are no air conditioners or flush toilets. But there is a fridge permanently loaded with Fantas and Belikin beer. It all represents the soft side of adventure travel - right down to the excellent Garifuna chefs who cook your meal and then sit down at the table with you to dine.

Adventure Vacation on a Private Island

We do not sell individual days on the island, nor do we sell accommodations only. The only way to stay on our island is to purchase a Belize adventure package. All packages include lodging and meals before and after the island stay, transport to and from the island, lodging, meals, beer and soda on the island, all national park fees, complete use of our sports gear, and instruction and daily guided activities.

There is No Substitute for Having Your Own Island

Long Caye at Glover's Reef, Belize rivals Half Moon Caye in beauty and is much less visited. When traveling all the way to Caribbean islands....make the extra effort to visit the most beautiful and remote island in the country. Long Caye is just a drop in the ocean. Other Belize resorts cannot compete with our location. We have the ultimate spot for Belize adventure travel AND PADI dive courses. Our Belize FAQ page answers specific questions about our Belize packages based on our Caribbean island.

Perched on the brink of the continental shelf, our island base of Long Caye lies on the slender coral ring of Glover's Reef, an atoll 35 miles offshore from Dangriga, in the middle of the Caribbean Sea. We’ve made sure our entire Water Sports Center blends into the undeveloped, natural atmosphere of this tropical island, unspoiled by the modern world.

You've Heard of Ambergris Caye?

Don't go to a crowded island! By comparison, in Ambergris Caye (right), where about 90% of the tourists in Belize visit, there are over 65 hotels with a capacity of 2000+ guests and 4000+ year-round residents. Compare that to our island: one facility, 32 guests maximum and about 8 staff. You can get away from it all with us, few other resorts can boast of such a remote and exclusive location.
