The Basecamp on Half Moon Caye is a tropical adventure camp which offers spectacular wilderness to kayakers and snorkelers. Found 55 miles off the mainland of Belize, the camp is built around an inner protected lagoon and fringed with white sand beaches, large reef system, and a forested interior.
The Basecamp on Half Moon Caye is rustic yet comfortable, and perfect for families, couples, or individuals alike. The remote location of the camp allows a remarkably intimate experience with nature and takes you away from the stress and rush of everyday life. The camp offers several canvas-walled cabanas, which sit on raised wooden floors about six inches above the sand. Spacious and similar to safari-style tents, the cabanas provide ample headroom to walk around. Each cabana features either double or single wooden-framed beds with six-inch foam mattresses. The cabanas are the size of a small bedroom roughly 8x12 with a wood floor and various other furnishings such as a night stand, oil lamp and shelves.
Your stay at the Basecamp on Half Moon Caye is tropical, adventurous, and sunny. Enjoy great meals and explore the area by day via kayak, snorkeling, or on your own two feet. Guests are delighted by the simple elegance of this island getaway while on a Belize tour.

This was our first trip to South America and we were a little nervous. But Adventure Life made things so easy! All our questions were answered before we left, and our guide, Vidal, was amazing! He gave us enough space to explore without rushing us along. He also knew where the best picture taking opportunities were, which was great.

The trip was not only memorable for the amount of animals we saw but also for the people and accommodations at the two camps where we stayed. Our first guide, BK, was a wealth of information about the animals, landscape and down to the plants and what they were used for. Everyday out was a learning experience with him. All the people at the camps were gracious and the food was excellent.
Our second camp in the Okavanga was just as good as the first as far as the staff, accommodations, food and animals. After our experience at the first camp we amazed that the high quality remained the same. Our guide, G, made sure we were able to enjoy every experience including a rush through the bush to witness a cheetah and an ensuing hunt that he heard over his radio.
In both camps there were enough guides out that if they saw something the other guides were informed which helped in seeing as much as possible. It was also nice that the concessions were large enough that we did not have vehicles following each other throughout the day.
Normally there is always something in a trip of this length that we think could be improved upon but this is the rare case where we cannot think of anything. From the time we left the States to when we returned it was one of the most hassle free vacations we took.
Perhaps emphasizing the use of the laundry facilities at the camps would be useful because of the luggage restrictions would be the only thing I can think of as an improvement to future clients.
