NO NEED TO CARRY ALL YOUR LUGGAGE OUT TO GLOVERS: We have secure storage in our Dangriga Operations Base. Please plan to leave one bag with a change of clothes and other items you will not need with you while at Glover’s Reef. On your return from the islands this will be waiting for you. Ensure your name is clearly marked on your bag and that you do not leave any passports, money, electronics, or other valuables in your bag. These items should travel with you. PLEASE NOTE: We cannot be deemed responsible for people’s personal property while traveling.
