LOCATION:
Moho Cay Lodge is set on a tranquil, tiny white-sand, palm tree covered island within the spectacular Port Honduras Marine Reserve. Depart in the morning by electric boat from Jungle Camp, for the ride down river and towards the coast, passing through several distinctive ecosystems along the way. Watch for monkeys and parrots as you descend the jungle river. Transfer to our navy launch at Rosewood Landing, about 1-mile from the coast, for the 30-minute ride to Moho Cay Lodge. Break out of the jungle, into the sunshine and the blue Caribbean as the fresh sea breeze cools you and the allure of the sea stretches out before you. Also arrive via air to Punta Gorda and transfer directly to Moho Cay Lodge by our marine launch.
ACCOMMODATION:
Moho Cay Lodge consists of an exclusive collection of luxury safari-style tent lodges with thatched roofs, set atop permanent platforms along the water's edge. Each unit has it own private stretch of beach surrounded on both sides by tropical island vegetation. The spacious tent lodges feature hardwood floors, wicker and hardwood furnishings, and tiled bathroom with walk-in shower. The private verandas extend out over the water with stunning sunrise or sunset views across the Port Honduras Marine Reserve. Solar panels and wind energy provide electricity for ceiling fans, lights, hot water for showers and everything else. Moho runs all green!
MAIN AREA:
There is a main restaurant and bar at one end of the cay that stretches from the beach on one side to the beach on the other with a spectacular view of the open sea to the east and the Seven Hills and distant Maya Mountains to the west. Stay cool under our huge thatched roof sipping cool drinks or Caribbean beers and enjoy the refreshing trade wind breeze of the tropics.
MEALS:
Our resident chef prepares fresh-caught fish, lobster and conch from the nearby reef, as well as a variety of other succulent local and international dishes. Dine on your private veranda under the cloudless sky or in our restaurant. Wake up tea/coffee and beach/veranda service, high tea, 24-hour room service and all local drinks are included in the rate.
ACTIVITIES:
From Moho Cay Lodge, enjoy half- and full-day snorkel, swim, and sea kayaking adventures within the marine reserve. Explore Payne's Creek National Park, Ycacos Lagoon, hundreds of local cays, pristine river estuaries, and the Seven Hills where a US civil war era sugar plantation lies buried in the jungle. Full-day expeditions to the Sapodilla Cays Marine Reserve, at the southern tip of the Great Belize Barrier Reef, include some of the best snorkeling in the world. Journey to the edge of the mangroves where the fresh water from the Maya Mountain rivers mixes with the sea creating the ideal environment to discover the area's manatee and marine bird populations by sea kayak. Special fly-fishing charters are also available with great sight and flats fishing within the marine reserve. Or just grab a book and a private stretch of beach, while the gentle Caribbean Sea laps at your feet.
LAUNDRY:
Complimentary next day laundry service is offered.
LIGHTING & POWER:
A nearly silent generator runs only when the sun does not shine or the wind does not blow. The system charges batteries that provide 110v all day and night via an inverter system. Hot water is available 24-hours a day. The capacity of the system is limited to low current usage (no hair dryers), but guests may charge electrical equipment like cameras at any time.
ACCESS:
Moho Cay is only accessible by our 50' or 29' ex US Navy Marine Launches.
