About Turneffe Flats Lodge Belize
Upon your arrival in Belize City, you will be transferred to one of the three 32′ Ocean Master Sport fisherman owned by the lodge. The run out to the lodge takes about one hour and is a pleasant 
way to get you in the right frame of mind for the week you will spend at Turneffe Flats. In the craft, you run a short distance through sparkling open waters. In the distance, lining the horizon, a string of palm trees border Turneffe Islands, dazzling and inviting.
As you near your destination at the Turneffe atoll, the water colors changes from the deepest blue, to azure, to aquamarine, to palest green where crystalline waters lap the white coral sand beaches. At you dock, it will be hard to pull your eyes from the teeming waters and the adjacent coral flats with the promise of bonefish and permit. The lodge’s cabins are nestled between coconut palms and have a wonderful view of the coral reef and Caribbean sea. You will unload, have a quick lunch, and then off to fish for the remainder of the day and the rest of the week.
Lodging
The new air-conditioned cottages are built on a quiet lagoon within a few hundred feet of the reef. You will be please to know that all the cabana’s have new bathrooms, two double beds, windows, verandas and closets. Imagine awakening in your beach-front cabin to morning coffee or tea served on your veranda. The surrounding waters are crystal clear and provide a varied habitat that range from sheltered mangrove islands in the inner portion of the atoll to the vast white coral sand flats on the windward side of the reef.
Fishing- Grand Slam Territory
There are many species of fish to look for on the flats, coral reef, and offshore. The area offers perfect targets for both the fly fisherman and the light
spinning enthusiast. Ten pound plus bonefish are common. Ocean side flats are 5 to 20 minutes from the lodge and are some of the most wade-able and picturesque flats found anywhere.
