Self-Guided Kayak Fishing
Anglers are encouraged to bring fishing gear, with fishing licenses covered and fishing kayaks provided for exploring the atoll’s interior. Surrounded by a National Marine Reserve, Long Caye boasts the healthiest fish populations in Belize, as noted by the National Fisheries Department. Our fishing kayaks come fully equipped with tackle storage, rod holders, fish holds, and anchors, offering a convenient alternative to shore or dock fishing.
The versatility and stealth of our sit-on-top kayaks make accessing prime fishing locations a breeze, enabling anglers to reach spots otherwise inaccessible without a guide and boat. While trolling on the outer reef may not always be feasible, just 100 yards from your beachfront cabana lies the outer wall, home to an array of sought-after species, including grouper, dorado, permit, kingfish, and marlin.
Guided Kayak Snorkeling
Slickrock embraces eco-friendly exploration, prioritizing non-motorized equipment for snorkeling adventures. You’ll have ample opportunity to explore renowned Belize snorkeling sites via kayak, including a scenic trip to Middle Caye. The underwater possibilities are endless thanks to over 700 patch reefs within Glover’s Reef Atoll. Expert guides will ensure you feel confident navigating your kayak to the best snorkeling spots.
One such spot is The Channel, nestled between Long and Northeast Cayes, where sightings of Bermuda Chub, Black Grouper, and Spotted Eagle Rays are common. Just a half-mile kayak ride from the island lies The Aquarium, a favorite snorkel site known for its picturesque shallow reef, perfect for capturing stunning underwater images while standing.
