| ABOUT ACTIVITIES AT
THE INN AT ROBERT'S GROVE - in their own words:
SCUBA DIVING:
Dive in, to the wonders of the magnificent Barrier Reef of Belize. The
Dive Center at Robert's Grove stands ready to guide you through this remarkable underwater
paradise with multitudes of Gorgonian fan corals, enormous sponges, hundreds of colorful
fish and sheer coral-encrusted walls.
SNORKELING
The Inn at Robert's Grove has its own 30' skiff and a resident guide.
We'll whisk you away to Belize's Barrier Reef (the second largest in the world) and the
many beautiful cayes nearby, such as Laughingbird Caye National Park, for great snorkeling
and fishing.
FLY FISHING, SPING CASTING,
TROLLING
It's easy to get hooked on fishing in the pristine waters around
Placencia, where year-round it's possible to catch eight to ten different species in a
day. There's bonefishing in the flats, trolling along the outer cayes and fly fishing and
spin casting anywhere along the coast.
MONKEY RIVER EXCURSION
To the south lies Monkey River, a birdwatcher's paradise up a tropical
river. Much of Monkey River has been declared a Special Conservation Area, with howler
monkeys and toucans in the forest, and manatee at the mouth of the river. We'll take you
up the Monkey River by boat.
COCKSCOMB BASIN WILDLIFE
SANCTUARY
For the real adventurous, to the north lies the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife
Sanctuary or Jaguar Reserve, the world's first protected area set aside to preserve the
greatest cat in the new world - the jaguar. While you will be lucky to spot the great cat,
you will experience his habitat of a tropical rainforest.
