Customers will be responsible for their airfare to Belize, gratuity for the guides, housekeepers and shuttle drivers as well as their own alcohol.  

Golden Heart Anglers will provide transportation from Dangriga to Hopkins unless a group of 4 or more is available for transport from Belize City international airport.  The drive from Belize City is 2 hours.  The flight from Belize City to Dangriga is 15 minutes and then 25 minutes by shuttle to Hopkins.  

Customers will be responsible for the airfare between Belize City and Dangriga.  We suggest customers take advantage of the duty free area of the airport to purchase any alcohol they may want while at the lodge.  It will be cheaper and have a larger variety to choose from.  

Each guest will have their own room, no double occupancy unless bringing your significant other to share the room.  There will not be an extra charge for sharing the room but there will be an additional 120USD for the private chef prepared meals.  

All ground transportation will be provided to and from the marina if the guides can't pick up guests from the beach due to weather.  If the weather prevents us from being able to go out to the flats, which rarely happens, we will fish the lagoons and rivers in the area.  There will be no cancellations or refunds due to weather. 

Each of the 3 guides are certified professional fly fishing flats guides.  They captain small panga style skiffs that are specifically designed for poling the flats. There will be 2 anglers per boat per day.  Each boat will have a cooler with soft drinks and snacks.  

Each day breakfast will be provided at the lodge, lunch will be eaten on the boats and a family style meal in the evening.  One evening for each group, we will have a local woman prepare a traditional Garifuna meal.  

Alex will be available throughout the trip for casting lessons, tactics for communicating with your guides and to take care of any other needs that may arise.
