Turneffe Atoll, Belize • Central America
T u r n e f f e F l a t s L o d g e l i e s t h i r t y miles off the coast of Belize. Turneffe Flats is
located on the Turneffe Atoll, the largest of only four coral reefs in the western hemisphere. The Turneffe Atoll is remote and strikingly beautiful
with crystal clear waters alive with a wide diversity of marine life.
This remote western Caribbean resort has a well- deserved reputation as one of the best angling destinations in Belize. This is a flats fishing lodge
that has set new standards for the rest of the industry. Not only is it remote and beautiful with an abundance of fish, but the lodge owners and the
staff have taken a very service oriented approach with the emphasis on knowing their fishery like the back of their hand.
Turneffe Flats caters to serious anglers and uses modern 16' Dolphin Superskiffs for transportation to the expansive shallow flats just inside the
reef-an area at the northeast end of a necklace of gin-clear flats that stretch as far as the eye can see. With the help of a guide, it's not unusual
to spot several hundred fish in a day while wading the ankle-to-knee-deep water. Several of the guides have over 3 decades of experience. An average
fishing day at Turneffe Flats is about eight hours; however, this is quite flexible. During tarpon season, many anglers opt to start shortly after
sunrise and take a rest during the day. If you are a hard core angler, you may wade the flats in front of the lodge early in the morning, go out with
your guide for the day and come back to the lodge flats and fish until sundown.
The food is good and the three meals a day you will be served at the lodge feature Belizean cuisine and are often centered on fresh seafood. Meals
are served family style in the main lodge and always include fresh fruits, freshly baked breads and pastries. A well-stocked bar in the lodge provides
a focal point for sharing fish stories in the evening. The friendly, native, English-speaking staff makes the stay at Turneffe more than just another
trip.
