Our Story
From our simple beginnings kayaking and camping along the Belize Barrier Reef, Slickrock Adventures has grown into a leader in adventure sport ecotourism. We pioneered the concept of using a multi-sport format to explore the most exciting destinations in Belize, resulting in the most distinctive active vacations available.
Slickrock’s private island is uncrowded. Part of Belize’s renowned marine reserve system, Glover’s Reef is a UNESCO World Heritage site and Long Caye is a world unto itself. We’ve developed the island with a light touch to maintain its rustic, tropical charm while ensuring that you are comfortable. Each cabana enjoys privacy and is perched above the pounding surf. Our fully-equipped kitchen keeps us well fed with seafood and indigenous dishes. Cold beer and soda (included in the trip price) and a solar-powered electric system, along with a thorough treatment program for bug control, are just a few of the “extras” you will not find on any other adventure tour. “Island life” is often the most unforgettable memory our guests take back home.
We swim to reefs from our beach, paddle to snorkel spots in our kayaks, and ride the dive boat ten minutes or less to each dive site. The lagoon inside Glover’s Atoll and the underwater terrain around it are rich with sea creatures of all shapes, sizes, and colors—from tiny flamingo snails and colorful living coral to elegant and powerful spotted eagle rays.
Whether secluded on our private island or exploring adventure sports deep in the jungle, you will naturally bond with fellow guests who are sharing your new, exhilarating experiences.
