Rainy Season:
It's that time of the year, when the island transitions from eco-tourism, to conservation.
Our resident Ospreys have chicks, and turtles are about to lay, just as we close for the season.
The dates will be November 22nd 2026 (Thanksgiving week) until June 13th 2027.
In the meantime, have a nice summer break, and hopefully see you next season.

Meet the Owner:
Peter Lawson was born and raised in Utah and resides there still.
In 1980, after graduating from college, he went to work at the family ski resort. It was there that he met Cully Erdman.
Cully had been there for a few years after the days graduated from college. It was at that time that Cully started the Slickrock Adventures guiding company.
Cully loved the sandstone formations of southern Utah affectionately known as “slickrock”. Over the ensuing years Cully continued to explore new regions. Sea of Cortez, eastern Mexico, and finally settled in Belize. All the while his main office remained located in Moab, Utah.
In 1990, Peter left his position at the ski resort and relocated to Moab where he purchased a farm, married, and started a family. Moab, being a small town, became the place where Peter and Cully’s paths crossed again.
By 2000 Cully had developed the facilities on Long Caye, Glovers Atoll in Belize. Peter’s first visit to Long Caye was in 2010. In those days his activity loves were sailboarding and scuba diving. This was when he first met Jim and Kendra, the owners of Off The Wall Dive Resort.
Over the next decade Peter made many visits to Long Caye. In 2021 Peter met the new owner of “Slickrock”, Phil Dowsett. The next year Peter and Phil agreed to become partners. During this time Jim and Kendra were actively pursuing the sale of their business. Peter began negotiations with them and the sale was made to him in 2025.
Peter has great love for the island and deep respect for what the previous owners have created. He is interested in maintaining the character while exploring minor refinements. He believes that it is a unique spot and should be preserved carefully.
