More Info:
Imagine for a moment a place where a billion stars burst forth across the clear Caribbean night... Imagine laying back, looking out across crystal clear turquoise waters and feeling the stress melt from your body... Imagine a quiet, romantic dinner on an open-air veranda over-looking white sands and a full moon rising amidst palm and coconut trees... Is there such a place?
Yes, there is. And it's called Journey's End Resort.
During your stay with us you'll be in your own private world, but still close enough to the mainland of Belize where you can enjoy some of the most exciting jungle and ruin adventures this diverse Central American country has to offer.
Your options at Journey's End Resort are many. We are literally perched on the edge of the second largest barrier reef in the world. What does that mean for you? How about world-class scuba diving and snorkeling usually no more than ten minutes away? Don't dive? How about fishing? We've got some of the finest reef and fly fishing waters in the world. That's why serious anglers come to ply their skills in going for the "Grand Slam" of fishing-catching a bonefish, permit and tarpon all on one trip.
You're still not impressed? All right, how about kayaking through mangroves and seeing crocodiles, rare birds, fish and butterflies no more than a half-mile from your room? And don't forget our complimentary Hobie cats and canoes! No matter what your preference is, we've got the right prescription for your most memorable vacation.
Do it all, or do nothing at all!

In and On the Water
Manatee Safari: Sight the friendly, toothless creatures called West Indian Manatee. Although the population here is small and protected under the Wildlife Protection Act, Belize enjoys the largest population of this Manatee in the Caribbean. Snorkel and swim off a beautiful, isolated island and enjoy a relaxing picnic lunch. Two other exciting snorkel stops are included and time permitting, a stop at neighboring Caye Caulker. Lunch, beer and soft drinks included. Bring snorkel gear. Departs on demand. Time: 8:30am-5:30 pm.
Snorkel Caye Caulker: Snorkel the sites with the most prolific fish life on the reef: Hol Chan Reserve and Shark Ray Alley.

Tikal Trip: Fly from San Pedro to Belize City where you board a flight to Flores, Guatemala. From Flores you travel by road to visit the impressive Mayan site Tikal. It is surrounded by a lush rainforest filled with monkeys, toucans, parakeets and other exotic wildlife. Take your passport and cash for international departure taxes. Lunch is included. Some tour departures are dependent upon weather and road conditions. Some require a minimum of people and are subject to change without notice.
Journey's End Resort takes pride in being home to one of Belize's only PADI 5-Star Gold Palm facilities. We are sophisticated enough for the most advanced diver yet understanding and patient with beginners. We are lucky to be situated right on top of one of the greatest dive spots in the world. It is only about a ¼ mile out to the second largest barrier reef in the world. And because Journey's End is located north of San Pedro, we have the advantage of diving most of the less-visited sites. You'll rarely see another dive boat in the area and most sites are only a few minutes from the dock. The northern dive sites typically provide a lot of spur and groove topography with some great marine life.
If you've ever thought about diving but never taken the plunge, no problem! You can get a free scuba tryout at our dive shop. Come see for yourself why so many of our guests keep coming back year after year, anxious to explore different sites along the world's second largest barrier reef!
Journey's End Resort is the premier fishing resort on Ambergris Caye. Nestled between the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean and the pristine mangroves, Journey's End Resort offers packages for both the angler and non-angler. We host numerous fly-fishing enthusiasts, many of whom go for the "Grand Slam" of fly-fishing which is to catch a Permit, Bonefish and Tarpon, all on one trip.
Fly Fishing
Fly gear can vary according to conditions. On a calm day a #6 outfit is great. With stronger winds, use a #8 or #10. Reels should hold 200 yards of 20 lb. test. Dacron backing plus floating fly line. Fly lines should be neutral colored. Leaders should be at least 9' long. Tippets are typically 8-10 lb. test, and should be clear. Flies should be unweighted and tied predominantly on a #6 hook. Best colors are orange or patterns in white, brown and pink.
Journey's End Resort has a limited supply of excellent fly fishing gear available for rent. We also offer effective flat flies for sale.
Reef Fishing
Stiff casting or spinning rods coupled with reels holding 17-20 lb. test (200 yards). White jigs are the mainstay, tipped with plastic worms. Sizes vary with depth - ¾ oz. To 2 oz. will cover the ranges required. An assortment of topwater and deepwater lures will also work, depending on the species sought.
If reef fishing is more your style, we've got that too. Spend a half or full day on the reef. Fishing outside the reef will be in deep water and will usually get you into several species. Typical would be grouper, amberjack, Wahoo, kingfish, pompano and occasionally a sailfish or marlin. Generally, the fish outside the reef are larger, and if size is your objective, the option is yours, weather permitting. Fishing inside the reef usually produces barracuda, snapper, grouper and Spanish mackerel.
Finally, if you'd like to go for the really big game fish then spend a day or two further out on the water and do some deep sea fishing. Marlin, dolphinfish, and an assortment of other species await your lure.
Fishing off Ambergris Caye, in whatever form is outstanding. The important thing to remember is the quality of the fishing guide that you select. Journey's End Resort uses only the finest local guides that are completely familiar with the waters and fish in the area. If you're looking make your fishing plans.
Amenities:
- Gift Shop
Our gift shop is remarkably well stocked with sundry items, snacks, drinks, t-shirts, dresses, fishing gear and just about anything else you might want to take home as a souvenir. If you forget sunscreen, toothpaste or insect repellant, don't worry we've got you covered.
