SPECIALIZED ADVENTURES:

Many Specialized Adventures are also available, including:

Native Fishing: Fishing becomes a cultural adventure when it’s done jungle-style. You’ll catch live bait using the local bottle method and use the most basic of equipment. Paddle out along the banks of the lagoon with a local fisherman and settle into a quiet cove to land Big Mouth Bass and other local species.

Howler Monkey Trek: Observe troops of Howler monkeys as they start the day foraging high in the jungle canopy. Babies cling tightly to their mother’s backs under the protective gaze of the dominant male whose call can be heard for miles. Learn about the species’ lifestyle, social dynamics and infant rearing practices.

Sunset Airboat Safari: Board one of our custom built Florida style airboats for an exciting trip into the New River floodplains; cocktails, snacks and nature watching over sunset. Drinks and snacks included.

Crocodile Encounter: Travel by airboat into the surrounding floodplains and observe and even assist if you wish, as one of our naturalists endeavors to capture, collect data and expand our understanding of the endangered Morelet’s crocodile. Something that most people only see on television!

Night Spear Fishing: Travel by pontoon boat to a choice fishing location, strap on a headlight, board your canoe and go night spear fishing with a local expert.

Birding Expeditions: With almost 400 species documented within a 3 mile radius, this lodge is definitely Belize’s premier birding location. Habitats range from vast wetlands and broadleaf forest to pine savannah and all are easily accessible by boat, trails, vehicle or canoe. Our guides will tailor your activities to access your target species in an environment where 200+ species in 3 days is far from unusual.
