Welcome to Texan Bay Jungle Lodge and Marina

Come enjoy a relaxed Texas hospitality in a tropical paradise

Our unique jungle lodge and marina is located along the Rio Dulce at the eastern end of El Golfete, a stunning lake 10 miles long by 4 miles wide.
Our facilities are overlooking the majestic laguna, Los Duarte, which is situated 1 mile from the western entrance of the famous Rio Dulce canyon.
We are the nearest marina to the mouth of the river by about 14 miles.
Heading east, down river towards the sea will take you through the canyon to the mouth of the river passing by the Garifuna's village of Livingston and ending in Amatique Bay in the Caribbean sea.
Heading west up El Golfete will bring you to the town of Fronteras/Rio Dulce, Guatemala
