Fishing

Turneffe Atoll is known worldwide for incredible flats fishing. The grand slam of fly fishing (tarpon, permit and bonefish) is a realistic goal here. Trolling on the outside of the reef is great for wahoo, grouper, barracuda, jacks, and mackerel. Offshore fishing could net you wahoo, sailfish, marlin, and more. If you're into casual fishing, throw a line from the dock to schools of bonefish and snapper.

The atoll is home to protected lagoons lined with mangroves that form virgin flats that are home to schools of tailing bonefish and occasional permit. Experienced English-speaking guides will whisk you around remote areas that are rarely touched by other anglers or local commercial fishermen, offering you an exclusive and highly personalized fishing experience. Selected catches may be kept at your or your guide's discretion. Bonefish are all strictly catch-and-release.

Our fishing package includes your own personal fishing guide (maximum two people per guide) for eight hours a day who will assist you in having a successful fishing experience. You may choose to troll, drag or fly fish in the flats or from shore, or fish from our 25-foot open boat.

Be sure to bring your own gear, as the resort does not provide fishing equipment.

Snorkeling

Our Snorkel/Vacation packages feature two boat trips per day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. For the hardy that wish to do more, they can take kayaks out to the reef that is only 200-300 yards from shore. There we have tie-down buoys to secure the kayaks so that you are hands free to snorkel the day away.

Snorkeling sites include our own Blackbird Reef, located directly in front of our main dock. Other sites include Blackbird Cut, Calabash Cut, The Blue Hole, and Halfmoon Caye. All are excellent snorkel sites at which you will see stingrays, groupers, eagle rays, nurse sharks and much, much more.

Kayaking

Feel free to explore Blackbird Caye Lagoon and the surrounding reefs in our complimentary single and double kayaks, available for your boating pleasure.
