Glover's Reef

The last 6 days of our trip were spent on Southwest Caye on Glover's Reef Atoll. We travelled with a tour group called Island Expeditions, and they provided everything for us on the island including unlimited snorkeling, kayaking and fishing :) The island itself is so tiny, I could walk across the whole thing in under 10 minutes! Half of the island is dedicated to the Island Expeditions camp, and the other half has a very nice looking diver resort called Isla Marisol (who we dove with while we were there). Isla Marisol was almost empty the whole time we were on the island, so there were only the 9 of us on the trip and 4 staff members with the island to ourselves. We had incredible weather the whole time with bright sunny skies and just enough wind to keep the bugs off. Although, at night the wind would pick up and rattle the tent a lot so that kept us awake a bit (plus the roaring and crashing of the waves on the reef about 200 feet away is a little scary to a prairie girl in the middle of the night!). We went on several kayaking trips and snorkeled the patch reefs in the atoll lagoon. The fish life was amazing and so abundant! We even went fishing and caught some mutton snapper, red hines, and Dustin even caught two barracuda (that they made us for dinner that night!). We even got to snorkel the mangroves on the island to go on a seahorse hunt (which we didn't find) but I thought the mangrove snorkel was one of the best we did because it was so different. It was such a unique part of the trip, and it was perfect for anyone of all ages to participate. Definitely something I would do again with kids!
