Belize Snorkeling | Blackbird Caye Resort

NOW OPEN

We are pleased to announce that we are now open. By design, Blackbird Caye Resort is remote, providing the perfect place for social distancing and to enjoy complete privacy.

Please read through the current protocols for arrivals to Belize. A recent negative PCR COVID test result (96 hours or less) is required or you’ll be subject to a rapid test upon arrival at the International airport. A vaccination record that has been completed within 14 days or more before entry is also accepted. The local government may change these arrival protocols, so we encourage you to revisit the page as your arrival date approaches or email us at info@blackbirdresort.com.

Snorkeling

Belize’s snorkeling ranks among the world’s best, and for good reason: Turtles, angelfish, seahorses, and more call Turneffe Atoll home, helping make it the most biologically-diverse reef in the Western Hemisphere. All that, mere yards from your cabana.

What to Expect

On your twice-daily snorkeling trips, one of our trained guides will take you to some of the Caribbean’s best sites. Each hour-long outing will survey the area’s vibrant marine life, and bring you within arm’s length of colorful corals, dazzling fish, and more. We recommend bringing your own equipment — rentals aren’t included in your package — but can provide some for a fee.
