Glover’s Reef Basecamp
Glover's Reef Basecamp is a permanent tented camp on a coral atoll off the coast of Belize, offering spectacular kayaking, snorkelling and diving.
One of three atolls in Belize, Glover’s Reef Atoll is surrounded by clear waters teeming with marine life. In this idyllic location, you’ll find Glover’s Reef Basecamp, a safari-style permanent tented camp on a small coral islet.
With a barrier reef on one side and lagoon on the other, the location on Southwest Caye guarantees superb opportunities to witness the theatre of life under the seas. The tents have wooden floors, proper beds and kerosene lamps, pitched on sugar-white sands and shaded by palms. Tents also have a private deck with chairs to sit in the evening to enjoy the night sky.
Guests usually stay four nights at the camp, and spend days enjoying guided and self-guided activities including sea kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, snorkelling and scuba diving. Snorkelling is usually best in the lagoon’s calm waters, where the kaleidoscope of marine life is readily accessible.
Glover’s Reef is a sociable place and the atmosphere is convivial: you’ll soon be swapping traveller’s tales with your fellow guests over a beer at sunset.
