We are pleased to add a hosted couples trip to southern Belize, for those with spouses that may not want to fish every day (or maybe not at all), and who will not be bored on this trip!
Per Jeff Ehlert, “My wife and I visited this resort after our week at Tarpon Caye this past May and we can’t say enough about the accommodations, warm hospitality, the variety of excursions and the beauty of Copal Tree Lodge. The entire staff greeted us by name everywhere we went. Still not sure how they do that, but that is just an example to their attention to detail. Almost everything that you eat and drink was grown and produced on-site and the activities would take a couple weeks to experience them all. The fly fishing here was pretty amazing as well. We even used dry flies—floating crab imitations—to target permit hunting crabs on drifting leaves during the falling tide!”
Diane Ehlert adds, “We only got a taste of what Copal Tree Lodge and Punta Gorda have to offer destination visitors, but already we can’t wait to go back. We think this the ultimate couples trip, where you can pick your activities à la carte.
