Slickrock Adventures
2 reviews for Slickrock Adventures
If you're considering a trip to Belize, you owe it to yourself to take a look at Slickrock Adventures. While it's not cheap, I couldn't have been more impressed by my experience on the "Adventure Week" in February 2003. My group of 12 explored Mayan ruins, explored caves in inner tubes, mountain biked, kayaked the Mopal river, and spent four days in paradise, at Slickrock's private island close to Ambergris Caye.
On the island, I learned to windsurf, kayaked, wandered through tidepools, snorkeled-if it could be done in water, I probably did it that week. The staff was professional, and in most cases, local. The food exceeded my expectations as well. The accomodations were rustic and fun.
Absolutely no complaints. I should mention that at 27, I was the youngest person on my trip, but I think that's mostly due to the cost (and that most people in their late twenties aren't too lazy to plan their own vacations) I went alone and loved the people on my trip.

They're called Slickrock Adventures, They lead trips in Belize. Go figure.
I had the pleasure of guiding for this outfit about seven years ago. They offer three different itineraries: some jungle with island or all island. It's all good I was mostly the river guide so I enjoyed the island more. What's not to enjoy about a private island in the Caribbean on the continental shelf. Or how about the Macal river:clear, warm water polished granite, pool drop to class six (portage), undeveloped (but for a dam upriver) did I mention it's in the Jungle?
This place is magic, Slickrock Adventures weaves the spell.
I left Belize a few weeks early to do a Grand trip with friends, and lost the job. It was a great trip in the Ditch but, I miss Belize. I tell myself that I was lucky to get out without catching some tropical disease, but man I miss that place.
