On the seaward side of the largest
and most biologically diverse atoll in the Caribbean Sea is built
one of the most beautiful and complete lodges in Central America;
Turneffe Flats Lodge.
For over 20 years it has evolved
from a few “rough” structures on the beach to a world
class dive, eco-tour and fishing operation. Singles, double
occupancy, family and groups have very comfortable lodging available
to them. Anglers and non-anglers alike will enjoy their stay at
Turneffe Flats.
On Google Earth, go to coordinates:
17.25.31.40 N and 87.48.37.35 W to get an excellent picture of where
you will be spending a week of fishing, diving or exploring the
atoll. Or combine all activities.
Turneffe Atoll is about 30
miles off the coast of Belize. Even the boat ride in their
48’ dive boat from the mainland to the lodge is exciting as
it finds its way through the Meso American Reef (the second longest
barrier reef in the world), around and between several cayes and
through mangrove channels so narrow you could reach out and touch
the trees if you wanted. You might sight dolphins, manatees and
several different bird species on the way. It is certainly a world
away from the mainland, you just left behind a few minutes ago.
The whole crossing takes about 90 minutes. Sit back, enjoy the sights
and prepare for the relaxed atmosphere of Turneffe Flats Lodge.
