Home > Belize Tours > Belize Adventure Week > Additional Information
Of all of our adventure travel tours, Belize Adventure Week is our most popular of our multi-sport tours in Belize. No other Belize multisport trip provides so much action! If you are searching for the cost for windsurfing in Belize, for example, consider that by choosing one of our multi-sport adventure packages, it is easy to stay within your budget, because everything is included. On this Belize adventure trip we visit Mayan ruins and view many Mayan artifacts in the caves of Belize.

Belize Adventure Package Parameters
Grade:
Vigorous, participants should be able to perform two continuous hours of moderate exercise without becoming overly fatigued.
Age Limits:
Min.-10*; max.-70; no exceptions permitted to age limits (see below)
Weight Limits:
Sometimes prospective guests ask if we have boats that can hold a person of 240 lbs, for example. This is difficult to answer because sometimes a heavy person is very fit and sometimes they are not fit at all, and this does make a huge difference. In general, persons over 200 lbs will not be able to do every sport we offer, unless they are young and very active already. Here are our best estimates for weight limits for each sport: river kayaks: 225 lbs; sea kayaks: 225 lbs; surf kayaks: 200 lbs; windsurfing: 225 lbs; fishing kayaks: 225 lbs; kitesurfing: 210 lbs, surfing: 200 lbs.
Group Size:
Min.-4; max.-12
Deposit:
$450/person, payment of deposit implies acceptance of our Reservations and Cancellations policy.
Small Trip Surcharge:
All trips have a minimum requirement of 4 adult guests; however, we will run a trip for two to three adults for a surcharge of $300/person. When you sign up for a trip, please be aware you will be charged this additional fee if fewer than four adults sign up. We will bill you two weeks prior to departure for this additional fee if it applies.
The reason for the small trip surcharge on Belize Adventure Week is that we don't break even on this package until we reach four guests. During the inland portion of this itinerary we are driving hundreds of miles in a 15-passenger van. With gas at $6/gallon in Belize (June 2012 rate) and staff costs the same regardless of how many are on the trip, we run this trip at a loss for 2 or 3, even with the surcharge.
------------------
*Children ages 10 and 11 may not be able to participate in all activities. It is at the discretion of the guide, based on safety reasons, to assess the child’s physical capabilities for each activity. If the guide decides that it is unsafe for the child to participate, a parent will either have to sit the activity out with the child, or hire a babysitter at a cost to the parent of $25 US/day. This assessment can only take place after the guide has met the child and also is weather-dependent (high water due to rain can drastically alter the difficulty level of our activities.)
Extending Your Stay on the Island
No number of days is enough time on our island!
We do not offer individual days on the island. If you book two trips “back-to-back” (back to back = trips with overlapping overnight accommodations with Slickrock), you will receive 10% off the first trip and 25% off the 2nd trip. Belize Adventure Week guests often book the Adventure Island at Glover's Reef First Half itinerary so they can stay on the island for a full week to take advantage of more Belize scuba diving and Belize snorkeling. This discount is not available for those booking through an agent eligible for commissions, only for those booking directly, and also not available in addition to any other discounts you may already be receiving. On holiday dates that are blocked for discounts, the 25% back-to-back discount is dropped to 10% for the 2nd trip, the first trip receives no discounts.

The Boat Ride
Transfer to and from the island is one of the most crucial aspects of any island resort. We own our boat, and we take care of the maintenance and repair. Our boat is kept in excellent shape by our competent staff. After all, we are riding on this boat all of the time ourselves. The importance of this aspect of the operation cannot be over-emphasized. There is no additional charge for this ride, it's part of the all-inclusive package.
Long Caye is 35 miles offshore and 65 miles from Belize City. Our boat leaves each Wednesday and takes about 3 hours; 45 minutes of this ride is an open sea crossing between the Belize Barrier Reef and Glover’s Reef. View our map of Belize, Central America to see our route; we cross the Barrier Reef at Tobacco Caye.
Our boat is 41 feet in length and covered for protection in any kind of weather. It is common to experience rough seas over this stretch, with large swells and spray. We hire professional captains who have spent their careers handling boats in all conditions, and we are confident in the safety of our passengers. Yet some guests, while safe, may feel concerned if they are not accustomed to traveling on the open sea, and those susceptible to seasickness should take precautions. Be assured that we do monitor weather conditions and safety, and our captain may decide to cancel the boat trip if conditions are deemed dangerous. When this happens, (and it does) we provide other activities.
