Just returned from our third trip to Tarpon Caye Lodge and are already planning our return trip. I caught my first Permit under the watchful eye of Charles Leslie, a great guide and awesome teacher. Tarpon are abundant in the lagoon just a few hundred yards from the boat dock, while Permit are located on the flats within sight of... More

What a wonderful place to spend a week. Very simple and yet done very well. I'll start with the food... outstanding! Fresh catch of the day whenever you want, great cakes and pies, and the fry jacks are awesome! Charles and his staff make you feel right at home. Also, the beds are really comfortable... which is very important. The... More

Charles Leslie Sr. was an incredible guide. I cannot speak more highly of him. When it comes to Fly Fishing and going after Permit, Tarpon and bones he is amazing! He knows this area like the back of his hand. If you stay out at the lodge the fishing is literally within seconds of your bungalow. The island (caye) has... More

Returned from our second trip to Tarpon Caye Lodge on 5/3 and rebooked for 2013 on 5/28. Guides quickly access your casting ability and work to put you on fish within your ability. Tarpon within 100 yards of the dock and Permit flats within sight of the Lodge. Food was great and the entire staff worked to assure that your... More

This is the place to go for the Big Three. Out on the reef, rustic surrondings. Good Food, Friendly staff and excellent guides. We have made many return trips and look forward to next year.

The Tarpon Caye is THE way to experience real Belize. The Leslie's have plyed these waters for 200 years. This is serious fishing. But for us, we come and bring our kids and friend's kids and fish a little, snorkel the beautiful coral surrounding the Caye. We lived in Belize and when we go back and bring friends, it is... More

Tarpon Caye Belize, founded by Charlie Leslie in 1995, is our small island Belize Fishing Lodge where we specialize in Belize Fishing Vacations. With decades of fly fishing experience; we strive to make sure our number one priority is the quality of our services. Our island is a 30 minute boat cruise from the famous Placencia Peninsula. The island sits on a fringe reef in the middle of the Victoria Channel. There are plenty of opportunities to snorkel and experience the rich vibrant marine life. The island's geographical location also puts it 6 miles from the famous Gladden Spit Whale Shark zone; minutes from many dive sites; 6 miles from the largest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere... Here, you can do it all or simply relax with a cold drink in your hand, on a private island in Belize and enjoy the cool Caribbean breeze soothing you into a siesta. We are family owned and operated. You come as a guest and we strive to make you feel like a part of the family before you leave. ... more   less
