Access	Though some intrepid travelers do make the long drive through Mexico, most choose to fly. Belize is only about a two-hour flight from Miami and other major hubs in the southern United States. Check with your travel agent for the best fares and schedules. To reach Spiritwind Reef Resort, it is recommended that you take the 20 minute flight on either Tropic or Maya Airways, from Phillip Goldson International Airport to Dangriga Airport, where a courtesy car will transport you to the resort. Simply give Spirit Wind Resort your flight details, and their staff will be waiting. Executive pick-up at International is available by your request. To reach Maya Kingdom Resort, it is recommended that you take a Taxi from Phillip Goldson International, for the 20 mile trip to the resort near Altun Ha. Executive pick-up at International is available by your request.
Accommodations	At Spiritwind Reef Resort your room is always clean, comfortable and safe. Each of your authentic Carib-style Cabanas is a unique creation; well appointed with plush Queen or Double Beds (hand-crafted in Jungle Style), traditional Mayan and Garifuna "craftsman" furnishings, original works from local artists, cool tropical ceiling fans, and private baths with "on demand" hot showers. The view from your private veranda is nothing less than spectacular! Each "Casita" overlooking the beautiful Dangriga River, is surrounded by lush Tropical Gardens, with Hummingbirds, Butterflies and fragrant Flowers of every hue. Like wildlife? Spirit Wind Resort's riverside grounds are a Green Iguana Sanctuary, where "herds" of the prehistoric beasts roam freely... they are quite tame, so keep your camera handy for that special candid shot! Or simply lay in your traditional Mayan Hammock, and watch the show as Parrots, Toucans and many other species of birds and animals visit our peaceful gardens. Want some "Caribbean Style"? No Problem Mon! Just come by the Garifuna Gal Salon, and you will be in "dreads" before you can say Bob Marley; either in the privacy of your own room or in the "cool shade" of the huge spreading Mango Trees!
Dining	Are you hungry? Are you thirsty? Then come on in! The Salty Dog Saloon (Spirit Wind's riverside Restaurant and Bar) serves up the BEST in authentic Belize and Caribbean food... guaranteed! And the Bar delivers the coldest tropical drinks and the most fun the law allows... seven days a week! At night you can sit by the river, sip a few Long Cool Drinks, and (as they say in Belize) just REST, RELAX and REASON. So don't go 'round hungry. Don't go 'round thirsty. Just open wide and take a bite. Taste the good life! You'll be glad you did.
Special Entertainment	You can gather 'round the fire hearth and Punta Dance the night away, with the frequent Garifuna Drummers. Free dance lessons given nightly.
Fishing Information	Seasons All of the gamefish in Belize can be caught every month of the year. There are however, seasonal fluctuations of individual species. Big Snook are most abundant in the lagoons and river inlets, October through December, to coincide with annual mullet migrations. The same can be said for big Tarpon. On the flats, trophy Bonefish are most abundant from September through early December, however Permit are best pursued during the Fall months and again in early Summer. For big Cubera Snapper and huge Goliath Grouper? Well, everyone knows that the full moons of April, May and June are the best! Socially Responsible Harvesting At Spirit Wind Resort, they practice "catch and release" fishing as much as possible. Even so, during the course of fishing and handling, some fish will be killed. But they insure that NOTHING is wasted. All species of fish are valuable sources of protein here in Belize. Therefore it is policy that all fish retained or killed will become the property of Spirit Wind Reef Resort, and will be used and/or freely distributed as food for the needy in this community. A Word About Their Boats Spirit Wind Guides run safe and very seaworthy Panga Boats powered by dependable Yahama Outboard Engines. Each is licensed and inspected by the Fisheries Department of the Belize Government, and carries all recommended (USCG) safety equipment. Your security is the first priority.
Types of Fishing	Belize has long been recognized as a World-class Fishing Destination, with the second longest Barrier Reef in the world, offshore Atolls, hundreds of Coral and Mangrove Islands, and endless miles of Lagoons, Estuaries and Rivers. And all teeming with a wide variety of Great Gamefish. And Spiritwind Reef Resort is serious about fishing! Spirit Wind's experienced guides can lead you on endless Fishing Adventures; from simple "drop fishing" on the reef for Grouper, Snapper and a wide variety of colorful Reef Fish, to trolling the reef edge for trophy Barracuda, Amberjack, King Mackerel and more. You can "flyfish" the grass flats and coral rubble around the many reef islands for Bonefish, Tarpon, Permit, Barracuda and Mutton Snapper; or you can troll the "bottomless" deep blue waters beyond the reef for Sailfish, Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi-mahi, Wahoo and much, much more! The lagoons, estuaries and rivers near Spirit Wind resort abound with Tarpon, Snook, Cubera Snapper and Goliath Grouper. The fishing is EXCELLENT either by fly, spin or baitcasting. "Stealth Fishing" the famous Gra Gra Lagoon by kayak is a special experience, with great fishing combined with the opportunity to see and silently approach Manatees, Crocodiles and other rare and beautiful wildlife.
