Fishing in Belize
 There is no better
winter get away than Belize, an English speaking nation located just south of Mexico's Yucatan
Peninsula. Belize is easily accessible by air, as there are daily flights from Houston and Miami.
Protected by the
largest barrier reef in North America, the transparent waters of Belize offer permit, bonefish, tarpon,
snook, and a multitude of other species including barracuda, sharks, grouper and snapper and an
assortment of reef species. Captain Edward Johnston, of Leisure Time Travel, has visited Belize many
times. There is no substitute for experience!
In conjunction with
your stay in Belize we offer day trips to Mayan ruins including Tikal, Sailing to Caye Caulker, a Jungle
River Run trip, Manatee/snorkeling tours, Scuba Diving. We can also arrange side trips to Mountain Pine
Ridge, The Panti Medicine trail, Guanacaste Park, The wildlife Zoo, Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary,
and the Inland Blue Hole and St. Hermans Cave.
Several of the lodges offer non-fishing activities for you, your spouse, and other non-fishing guest. We will help you compare each lodge to select the one that best meet your goals. And, don't forget to check out our Last Minute Specials.
