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.
*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! Guests booking directly will receive 25% off the 2nd trip when two island packages are booked back-to-back. We do not offer individual days on the island. 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, 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%.

The Boat Ride
Long Caye is located 35 miles off shore and 70 miles from Belize City. Our boat runs each Wednesday and takes about 2 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.
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 or winds are too high. When this happens, (and it does) we provide other activities.
Our boat is 41 feet in length and covered for protection in any kind of weather. If you arrive late for any reason, you will have to charter a boat to the island. Available charter boats are generally 25-28’ in length and cost up to $600 US (May 2008 rate) for a one-way trip to Long Caye. We strongly recommend you fly in a day early to avoid having to make an open-sea crossing in a small skiff. Local Belizeans do this crossing in all conditions, but most guests are not used to traveling in a small boat in rough seas.

This Belize adventure package is all-inclusive. The most comprehensive Belize multisport tour, we supply all equipment for river kayaking, surfing, sea kayaking, and caving. Our windsurfing school is one of the best in the country. None of the other adventure travel tours in Belize pack so much into one week, and include so much in their trip price. If you are wondering what to do in Belize, join us for beginner whitewater kayaking, discovering Mayan artifacts deep in caves, scuba diving, surfing, sea kayaking, sport fishing, jungle hiking, underground river, running, snorkeling, windsurfing, free diving, surf kayaking, and kayak kite sailing! If you want more information on Belize resorts at our private island, visit our Long Caye private island page. If you would like to read more about the atoll, visit the Glovers Reef page.
