The unmatched location and experienced guides assist anglers in achieving elusive Caribbean Grand Slams on a weekly basis. Centered on conservation, the fishing program proudly adheres to a catch-and-release approach. Conducted daily, this program demonstrates deep respect for the Turneffe Atoll bioregion, its ecosystems, and the livelihoods of Belizean fishermen.

TRAVEL PLAN

Situated 30 miles off the Belize City coast, the journey to the island is a mere hour and a half by boat, or a 30-minute helicopter ride for guests seeking an elevated mode of transportation. Tucked away on the coral island of Little Caye Bokel, the resort spans a modest 14 acres with 25 rooms and villas. It graces the southern curve of one of the world’s lesser-known marvels, the Turneffe Atoll. In fact, Turneffe Island Resort is so secluded that the island has established its own time zone, affording an extra hour of sunshine.
