Should you desire to make arrangements for activities prior to arrival, just let us know. Please keep in mind that various weather conditions may require a change of plans or even a cancellation of an adventure in extreme cases.
Fly Fishing Fly fishing is always a favorite activity for guests of Cayo Espanto who have their own equipment. Because hundreds of bonefish have made their home around Cayo Espanto, the angler will usually find great success all around the island. The hard sea-bottom immediately around the island provides for unusually easy wading. In addition to wading around the island, guests may hire a guide and boat for some wonderful flats fishing for bonefish, tarpon and permit.
Scuba Diving Scuba Diving the second largest barrier reef in the world is not to be missed. Cayo Espanto is within 15-20 minutes of some of the world's best and most famous dive sites. Private trips are easily arranged. Guests who wish to dive the Blue Hole should be aware that it is an all-day trip usually leaving about 8:00 in the morning and returning at 6:00 in the evening. A private charter is available or guests may choose to go with a group from San Pedro. For truly the best diving in the most pampered environment, Cayo Espanto is the place to be. German Alamilla, our Dive Master, is available for private charter trips. When he is not on a private charter with our guests he leads our regular open diving and snorkeling trips. To guarantee diving with German, advance arrangements are requested, otherwise, we can not guarantee German's availability.
Snorkeling Snorkeling in Hol Chan, Belize's National Marine Park, has been named by USA Today one of the world's top ten snorkeling sites. Private charters to Hol Chan are available or guests may choose to join a boat from San Pedro. Glass bottom boats also provide another window to the underwater life below.
Spa We now have full services with an on-site massage therapist. Our Spa offers manicures, pedicures, facials, Aromatherapy and more... Call us for further details.
Boating Another favorite trip is a day with boat and guide for some fishing, snorkeling and conching (in season). After a morning of fishing and conching, your guide will grill your catch for you on a beach. After lunch, it's back to the water for some great snorkeling, all out fun and relaxing. You can also choose to visit other islands (some deserted and some with villages). Return just in time to watch the sunset and have cocktails before dinner.
Tours For landlubbers, daily excursions to the mainland of Belize offer fantastic adventure opportunities. The Mayan ruins of Lamanai are a must. River trips and visits to inland spas are included along the way. Once again, private charters are also available.
Birdwatching On nearby Cayo Rosario and Bird Caye is an experience for all. These islands are very close to Cayo Espanto and are home to many types of birds. (spoonbill, pelican, frigates just to name a few). The adventure allows guests to walk around and through mangrove. This tour is highlighted by the Belize Audobon Society.
Explore If you just want to go exploring in a skiff (our name for a 21-ft Mexican-made boat), one of the island's staff can take you out. The trip is always an adventure and full of unpredictability. Deserted beaches, uninhabited islands, beautiful waters and an occasional dolphin can make your trip very memorable.
Picnic How about a gourmet picnic lunch on a deserted beach for just the two of you? We will send an advance team to prepare the perfect romantic lunch site. Afterwards, we will deliver you to your paradise. Stay as long as you like and we will pick you up at a pre-determined time. Or, if you prefer, take our cellular phone and give us a call (we are only 10 minutes away).
