Slickrock retreat on Long Caye is about as rustic a place as I think I could feel comfortable. The cabanas, located just feet from the surf, are bare-bones thatched-roofed shacks with plank bed(s), a couple of rough benches and shelves, hanger rack, and a fluorescent light. No air conditioning, and if the wind is not in the right direction they... more

Fantastic place, we just wish we could have stayed longer. My wife, two of our kids (both 14) and I stayed three nights on the island in the end of April 2008. We snorkeled, kayaked, windsurfed and caught bonefish. My wife loved the paddle/snorkel trips (kayak to a reef, snorkel and kayak back). Our 14-year old girl started scuba with... more

Three couples wanted to have a relaxing week in a tropical area, but with lots of activities and minimal logistical effort. Voila, Slickrock! In exchange for your ability to "endure" composting toilets, very basic cabins, and sand flies, you get to hang out with truly talented, kind, and fun guides and a small group of guests to enjoy sea kayaking,... more

Slickrock is headquartered in Moab, Utah and is a very well-organized sports adventure "camp". (They also offer half island trips and half land adventure trips.) The guides were great, the equipment was great, and the setting was heavenly. The cabanas were rustic, we used composting toilets, and solar heated outside showers (very cool) and the island used wind and sun... more

We spent a perfect 4 days in March 2007on Long Caye with the Slickrock folks and had an amazing time. The food was incredible, it was difficult not to walk away from the mess tent stuffed to the gills. All the activities, accommodations, equipment and staff were top notch. Jim at Off the Wall Dive gave provided us the perfect... more

I did the Belize Adventure Week with Slickrock in November 2007. The trip went way beyond expectations - the guides are phenomenal, creating a safe space where you feel confident trying new activities (white-water kayaking, caving, snorkeling, sea-kayaking, etc.). Slickrock is extremely well organized from start to finish, the food is good, the places you stay are awesome and what's... more

This vacation was the second-best trip of my life, and I'm pretty well traveled (the first-best was a trip to the Galapagoes). My wife and I were there for a half-week, and while we could have stayed for a longer trip (forever, really) we did a lot in the time we had, and came home fulfilled. Way out among the... more

I just got back from a fabulous week at Long Caye with Slickrock. The island was beautiful and we got to learn and do all kinds of fun stuff: sea kayaking, snorkelling, surf kayaking, windsurfing, and SCUBA diving. It was all-inclusive (other than SCUBA) and the guides were completely professional and organized. Our guide was knowledgable, fun, flexible, patient, and... more

I was a little wary of the trip, but everyone was friendly and fun. You could do an activity or not, I think that everyone chose to rest a bit at some part of the week. The things I saw and did were amazing – the pod of dolphins while we were kayaking around the island, looking for sea creatures... more
