Day 1: Arrive in Belize

Arrive at the Belize International Airport where you will be met by a representative and transferred to the dock in Belize City. Make sure you are dressed comfortably and don't forget sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat! From Belize City, you will board the transfer boat for the spectacular 30-mile journey to Turneffe Atoll. Turneffe Flats is located on the eastern side of the atoll, on a picturesque point with coconut palms and a white sand beach. Upon arrival, you will have drinks and a brief registration at the main lodge, then check into your air-conditioned beachfront cabin. The rest of the day is yours to settle into your new Caribbean home - enjoy the white sand, the sound of the sea breeze through the coconut palms, and the view of the surf breaking on the pristine coral reef for miles in both directions. This evening, meet your fellow guests and enjoy hors d'oeuvres and cocktails before a delicious dinner at the main lodge.

Day 2-7: Turneffe Atoll Adventures

Rise this morning for your first full day of tropical adventure! Each day begins with fresh coffee or tea served on your veranda, followed by a delicious breakfast in the main lodge. Depending on the package you choose, spend your days enjoying all that Turneffe Atoll has to offer. Scuba divers can enjoy various dive sites around the Turneffe Atoll, including the opportunity to dive the infamous Blue Hole. Fishing enthusiasts can spend their time fishing with their guide in the lagoon and by skiff on the flats for bonefish, permit, and tarpon, among other tropical species. A typical day on the atoll includes a number of guided excursions with your adventure guide. The excursions are flexible and tailored to meet the interests of the group, while offering a great variety of ways to explore the surrounding atoll! You can enjoy world-class snorkeling, dolphin watching, and kayaking, among many other activities!

At the end of the day, relax on the large breezy veranda, snorkel, or wade the flats to try and spot tarpon, permit, and bonefish. Each evening your chef will prepare fresh island cuisine served in the dining room by your friendly, helpful staff.

This was my first experience with Adventure Life - and I couldn't have been more pleased with the trip. The guides and local staff in both Buenos Aires and Uruguay were terrific - extremely helpful and accommodating. I really enjoyed meeting the friendly staff in Buenos Aires in person (I left my bags with them for the afternoon).
