SUNDIVER BEACH RESORT
TRIP DESCRIPTION!
The trip begins in Belize City where you will board a small plane for your flight to the town of San Pedro on Ambergris Caye. Here we transfer to a boat for the final few miles to your your new home, the Sundiver Beach Resort . After checking in you have plenty of free time to explore the beach and the rest of the compound. If you are just dying to go fishing there are bonefish in front of your room, especially at high tide. You can wade the beach and maybe get that first fish out of the way! Dinner is served in the restaurant between 6:30 and 9:00 with a full 3 course dinner with wine included with most packages. Guests on the meal plan can choose from any and all menu items at the gourmet Creole restaurant at the resort.
The fishing day begins with a continental breakfast around 7:00 (or the time determined by your guide) then its off to the flats. The Mexican style Pangas and English speaking guides will put you onto fish quickly as the best flats are quite close to the lodge. About 50% of the flats are hard and pretty easy to wade. Some areas on the lagoon side are wadeable while others are best fished from the boat with the guide poling in search of fish. It is a perfect place for beginners to get the hang of flyfishing for bonefish. There are lots of fish in this area of Belize and not many have seen a fly before. If you can cast 30-40 feet you will catch bonefish here. If you can't cast that far the patient guides will help!
The nice part about this area of Belize (besides your family thinking you are not such a bad person after all) is the mix of fish available year round. Unlike the Bahamas or Florida Belize is far enough south that even during cold fronts, the flats stay warm enough to hold fish. Having Tarpon, bonefish and permit available year round is a very unique part of this destination. If there is an ideal place for a grand slam 365 days a year it is Belize.
If you are out fishing the lunches are boxed with sandwiches and chips and fruit the normal fare with plenty of soft drinks water and beer on board. Each boat carries a guide and two anglers. If you are not out fishing that day you have a full lunch menu to choose from each day at the resort. After fishing everyone tends to gather round the bar for some exaggerated tales of the day and get into the island spirit. If you are like me you will be patrolling the flats along the beach front for one more bonefish before dinner!
Dinner is served in our restaurant at your leisure. Each evening you will have full run of the menu inclu ding wine with dinner. If you were hoping you might loose some weight on this trip, you are mistaken. Dinners are 3 courses and delicious. The food is a great mix of Creole and Caribbean with fresh seafood always available as well as chicken and beef.
After dinner relax at the bar or take a water taxi into San Pedro for a change of scenery. Here you will find some shops, bars, and restaurants to visit.
For the diving guest the routine is pretty much the same except you will head out for the days dive right after breakfast. The second largest barrier reef in the world and the finest dive facility and staff in Belize await you. With the reef 100 yards from your cabana we are the logical choice for your diving vacation. Beginners through expert will appreciate the diversity of the sites and the quality of guides and instructors.
If you don't want to dive or fish everyday you can just enjoy a leisurely vacation relaxing on the beach or in a hammock. Everyone has unlimited use of all the kayaks, canoes, pools, volleyball which is included in all the packages. Add to that the option to buy a day of fishing, snorkeling, diving or any of the many different tours we have at The Sundiver Beach Resort.
