Optional tour excursions & services (not included in your package):

• How about a gourmet picnic lunch on a deserted beach for just the two of you?  Cayo Espanto will send a team in advance to prepare the perfect romantic lunch site.  Afterwards, they will deliver you to your paradise.  Stay as long as you like and they will pick you up at a pre-determined time.  Or, if you prefer, take their cellular phone and give them a call when you’re ready to leave (they’re only 10 minutes away).
• If you just want to go exploring in a skiff (aka: a 21-ft Mexican-made boat), one of the island's staff will be happy to take you out.  The trip is always an adventure and full of unpredictability.  Deserted beaches, uninhabited islands, beautiful waters and an occasional dolphin will make your trip very memorable.
• 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 Audubon Society.
• 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.  Private charters are also available.
• 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 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.  Guests who wish to dive the Blue Hole should be aware that it is an all-day trip usually leaving about 8:00 in the morning and returning at 6:00 in the evening.  A private charter is available or guests may choose to go with a group from San Pedro.  The Dive Masters are available for private charter trips.  When they are not on a private charter with our guests they lead our regular open diving and snorkeling trips.  To guarantee diving with the Cayo Espanto Dive Masters, advance arrangements are requested.
• Snorkeling in Hol Chan, Belize's National Marine Park has been named by USA Today as 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.  Glass bottom boats also provide another window to the underwater life below
• Another favorite trip is a day with boat and guide for some fishing, snorkeling and conching (in season).  Inquire about their Day at Sea with Luxury.  After a morning of fishing and conching, your guide will grill your catch for you on the 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.
• Enjoy the full services of an on-site massage therapist, offering manicures, pedicures, facials, Aromatherapy and more... ask me for further details.
• Access to a nearby golf course on Caye Chapel can also be arranged for those individuals or groups who just can’t stay away from the course (reservations are necessary).
