Under The Sun
Caribbean sailing, diving and fishing in Belize, Hobie cat beach-sailing in the Caribbean.
|
More Info:
Under the Sun is located on a beach in the fishing village of Hopkins, about 100 miles south of Belize City and 100 miles north of the Bay Islands of Honduras. We are 15 miles west of the world's second largest barrier reef and 15 miles east of the Jaguar Reserve with its 1000-meter peaks and rain forests with 170 annual inches of rain. Hopkins, by contrast, receives fifty inches annually, most of it falling during the monsoon season of June through mid-October.
Nearby Attractions:
Faster than speeding kayak! Able to leap great distances on a single breeze! It's a dolphin... it's a wave runner... it's Hobie Cat!!
Due to the unique area of the Caribbean around Under the Sun, we have been able to create the best beach sailing tours available anywhere with a variety of great sailing opportunities!
We provide instruction for novices and beginning sailors and we are very happy to have non-sailors join us in our support boat!
The reefs near Under The Sun are teeming with fish, coral and other sea life. A colorful world awaits snorkelers and divers beneath the sunny blue waters of the Caribbean.
In order to give serious scuba divers the best diving in Belize, we use Second Nature Divers and IZE.
The Caribbean waters surrounding Under The Sun are alive with many species of tropical gamefish! Anglers might wish to test their luck against snook, bonefish, barracuda, jacks or the elusive permit.
Jungle creeks and rivers also offer many opportunities for backcountry anglers to wet a line in the lush rain forest!
Canoeing jungle rivers for camping and day trips is a nice contrast to your beach sailing stay. Mayan guides take you up jungle rivers to camp with jaguars, tapir, monkeys and tropical birds!
One of our favorites is a camping trip up the Sittee river to the back of the Jaguar Reserve. On this trip we feature a night float with spot lamps for wildlife viewing.

Sailor's Special
The Sailor's Special includes six nights lodging, an 18 foot Hobie Cat Magnum for your daily, exclusive use from the beach, and safety support for a day sail to the cays or the barrier reef (Both include a channel crossing).

Bag it
Bag it. Plastic bags -- for everything from toiletries to shoes to aerosol cans -- have prevented many a suitcase fiasco.
