Glover Reef camp set up.

This stunning sunset was our welcome home as we approached Dangriga. You can see the sun setting over the Mayan Mtns.
This gorgeous sunset happened on our final night at Glovers.
Eagle Ray.
Here are 2 pictures of the camp starting to take shape at Glovers.

Tarpon could be seen right by the dock feeding on small fish.




The three pictures above are of a Pelican I saw fishing just off the dock.

On Wednesday Nov 14th I headed out to Glovers Reef on our skiff to help set up our base camp on South West Caye. Glovers is our oldest and most popular of the two large base camps we operate in Belize, the other being our base at Half Moon Caye on Lighthouse Reef (my favourite).

Whilst at Glovers I saw Pelicans, Ospreys, Egrets, Sting and Eagle Rays, Tarpons and Barracuda's. Glovers is renown for its amazing and diverse animal and marine life that can be found on and around the island.

It was a lot of hard work setting up the camp but being out at such a pristine environment was well worth the effort, not to mention the clear blue skies, warm water, stunning sunsets and sunrises and the breathtaking sight of thousands of stars in the night sky! It truly is paradise:)
