FRENCH LOUIE CAYE offers a variety of activities for visitors:

SNORKELING.  The waters are rich with life due to the mangrove that have been preserved on the island.  This mangrove environment is the "nursery of the sea" - mangrove roots offer protection for infant sea life, and the leaves supply food.

Because of this rich ecology the snorkeling is outstanding, both in the mangrove jungle and on the pristine coral reef that completely surrounds the island.

The area is well populated with hundreds of varieties of fish, sea creatures, and all kinds of soft and hard corals. If you search the mangrove roots one can observe an amazing array of sea creatures, including octopus, sea worms, sea anemones, tiny fish, crabs, lobsters, sea horse, starfish and more.

The caretaker/guide is an experienced snorkel teacher - both adults and children.  He can also take you on an amazing night snorkel, which will reveal a whole new neighborhood of sea creatures such as the amazing basket starfish.

KAYAKING  There are two double and two single "sit on top" kayaks on the island that can be used to explore the area.  Close by is another small reef, or you can just paddle around the island and explore the mangroves and coral reef from above. 

For a more ambitious paddle our guide can accompany you to the Lark Range, Loggerhead Caye or Saddle Caye.  Take a picnic lunch and explore another island.  These islands are uninhabited; and like French Louie Caye, are surrounded by pristine coral reef.  

FISHING TOUR  On the island you can cast off the dock or jump in the traditional wooden dory with  the guide and do a little drop fishing.  We can also arrange a full day fishing tour for you (fly fishing, spin casting, trolling or just general fishing - your choice).   

Placencia is famous for its salt water fly fishing - with many flats and reef in the area.  The "Catch and Release" fish are permit, tarpon and bonefish - get them all and you have a "Grand Slam"  Placencia has been called "The Permit Capital of the World"

SCUBA TOUR  We can also arrange SCUBA tours for you.  Again the dive boat will pick you up in the morning and bring you back at the end of the day.  If you wish to book Whale Shark tours (March - June) be sure to let us know well in advance as these tours have restrictions on the number of divers/day.

RELAXATION TIME  Plenty of hammocks and beach chairs, cozy little spots on the island to relax and sunbathe, read, sketch, pluck a guitar or just DO NOTHING AT ALL!  It is up to you.  Bring your toys and have a great time!
