TRAVEL FILE

The night life can get pretty wild! Chaa Creek runs night hikes around the lodge’s huge grounds – spot furry kinkajous (small mammals), common opossums and spiders, including the amazing Mexican red rump tarantula. Snorkelling on a starless night off South Water Caye is intense – see lobsters, crabs, pipefish, shrimp, reef squid and tiny blue fish attracted to lights.

Three nights’ full board at Blue Marlin Beach Resort at South Water Caye from €625 for two people sharing. bluemarlinbeach resort.com
