The staff of Cayo Espanto will make all arrangements
for tours, excursions and diving after you arrive. Schedules
are usually quite flexible and a private tour/charter
is always an option. Should you desire to make arrangements
for activities prior to arrival, just let us know.
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 or guest
may choose to dive with our dive shop in San Pedro.
For truly the best diving in the most pampered environment,
Cayo Espanto is the place to be.
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.
Prices run about $45.00 per person for a boat and rentals
are available. 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 your CaribbeanWay specialist 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. 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 one of our cellular phones and
give us a call (we are only 10 minutes away).
