Turneffe Flats Lodge, Turneffe Atoll - This is one of our favorite fly-fishing destinations of all-time. The diverse fishery, with the opportunity to land bonefish, permit and tarpon on any given day, lets anglers pursue the Grand Slam dream. Crystal clear, firm-bottom, wadable flats offer daily opportunities for tailing bonefish and permit. Additionally, large migratory tarpon inhabit the creeks, channels and flats between April and October, with resident tarpon available throughout the year. Snook, trigger fish, barracuda, snapper, jacks, and several other species, round out an exceptionally diverse fishery. And the fly-fishing guides here are exceptional.
Belize's atolls are rated among the world's best diving destinations and the amazing dive team emphasizes personalized service and maximum flexibility, with a variety of dives each day.  
And for non-anglers, you can enjoy a unique marine ecotour vacation combining world-class snorkeling with exciting and educational activities such as manatee, dolphin, crocodile and birding tours, or experience a lively Belizean cooking class.
The beach cabanas are ideal for couples, while a variety of villas are designed to accommodate families. Life centers around the main lodge and pool, where guests gather to share stories, drinks, and homemade island meals focused on fresh seafood.
​
And arriving couldn't be easier - many non-stop flights from the States to Belize City, where the lodge staff meets you. Then a quick drive to the marina, and a private boat ride, about 600  minutes, to the private island resort.
