Be Pampered in Paradise

Turneffe Flats has long been recognized as one of Belize's premier saltwater fly fishing, SCUBA diving and marine ecotourism destinations.  Located on the Turneffe Atoll, the largest and most biologically diverse coral atoll in the Caribbean, we specialize in superior service for a limited number of guests.

Awaken in your air-conditioned beachfront cabana to an incredible tropical seascape of white sand beach, expansive bonefish flats, lush mangroves and the surf breaking over the reef for miles in either direction.  Watch a spectacular sunrise from your verandah and when night falls, the stars look close enough to touch.

We are ideally located to enjoy all of Turneffe's  250 square miles of expansive flats, healthy coral reef and remarkably rich marine habitat.

Flats Fishing
For nearly three decades  Turneffe Flats has been known as one of the Caribbean's premier saltwater fly fishing destinations. The diversity of our saltwater flats fishing sets us apart from other destinations and the opportunity to catch bonefish, permit and tarpon on a given day makes Turneffe Flats one of the rare spots to pursue a "Flats Grand Slam," by landing all three species in a single day. 

Although the spin fishing at Turneffe is exceptional, we are primarily a fly fishing destination. We are privileged to have a large repeat customer base with anglers from the finest fly shops and outfitters around the world making Turneffe Flats their annual saltwater fly-fishing destination.

Bonefishing
Bonefishing is a mainstay of our fishing, with miles of crystal clear, wadeable flats.  While wading Turneffe's extensive turtle grass flats, you will sight-fish to large schools of bonefish as well as smaller groups and singles. Bonefishing remains consistently good throughout the year.

Permit Fishing
Increasing numbers of saltwater anglers have developed a serious interest in the permit fishing. Turneffe Flats is one of a select group of saltwater destinations where you can experience the excitement of flats fishing for tailing permit and have reasonable opportunity to catch one. Good permit fishing is available throughout the year.

Tarpon Fishing
Because tarpon are migratory, they are by nature seasonal. Although some tarpon are around throughout the year, our prime season generally begins in mid-to-late April and continues to mid-October with  June, July and August generally being our best months.  Most of our migratory tarpon are in the 70-90 pound range, but we see a few 150-200 pound monsters each year.


Belize SCUBA Diving


The  atolls of Belize are consistently rated amongst the world's best dive destinations. With pristine coral reefs, abundant marine life and warm Caribbean seas, it's easy to see why.



Turneffe Flats is ideally located to take advantage of Belize's best diving, and three dives per day including a weekly night dive are standard. Our dive vacations also include a day trip to Lighthouse Reef to dive the famous Blue Hole, Half Moon Wall and Long Caye.

Atoll Adventure / Marine Eco tours
       .... Belize Snorkeling Tours and much more


Because there are so many wonderful things to see and do at Turneffe, we developed a diversified marine ecotourism vacation combining our world-class snorkeling with several other activities which we call our Atoll Adventure.



Incrediblel snorkeling is a mainstay of this package with a wide variety of  snorkeling choices.  More than 60 bird species have been identified on the Turneffe atoll and seeing West Indian Manatees or Bottlenose Dolphins is exciting and fun. Learn the fascinating history of the Turneffe Atoll beginning with the Maya, who fished and traded on the Turneffe Atoll as far back as 400 A.D., to the Pirates of the Caribbean who used Turneffe as a favored hideout. Or, join a Belizean cooking class or just relax in a hammock under the coconut palms.

Our Atoll Adventure Guides are informative and fun, and our 25 foot boat is at your guides' disposal - allowing you access to all of this wonderful marine ecosystem. This is a very flexible package adapted to the desires and abilities of our guests on a day-to-day basis.

Inland (Belize Rainforest)/Island Packages
              ... the best of both worldsOne consideration when planning a vacation in Belize is how to see  as much as possible of this wonderfully diverse country. Turneffe Atoll and the inland rainforest areas offer very different  opportunities.  To offer the fullest possible experience, we have joined with the two premier inland ecotour resorts in Belize, Chaa Creek  and Chan Chich, to offer wonderful combination packages with Turneffe Flats.

Our combination packages allows you to enjoy Turneffe Flats' water based activities including SCUBA diving, snorkeling, flats fishing, kayaking,  dolphins, manatees, and a variety of other marine eco adventures.  Or, if you choose,  just relaxing on the Caribbean Sea. You will spend the remainder of your vacation at either Chaa Creek or Chan Chich for jungle walks, river canoeing, caving, birding or exploring Belize's Mayan ruins.
