Turneffe is the only Caribbean Atoll made up of dozens of mangrove islands, which make a perfect environment for a variety of juvenile nurseries for coral reefs, many schools of fish, dolphins, turtles and manatees. The resort itself is nestled within 1,300 acres of island forest and palm trees on a 2-mile long private, sand beach. There are 18 individual private beachfront cabanas with modern accommodations that face warm trade winds with views of the lagoon’s turquoise waters and the atoll’s rim reef. Not only is Blackbird known for world class diving but it also serves as a sanctuary for over 25 species of birds. Renowned for its biodiversity above and below the water Blackbird offers something for everyone: world-class scuba diving , snorkeling, kayaking, beachcombing, and nature walks to observe colorful land birds and seabirds. ... more less

This was my first time on a solo vacation and couldn't have had a better time. The whole staff there was so friendly and courteous they made me feel at home.

Guided morning and afternoon snorkel trips in the clear,calm,warm... More

“Diving superb, hospitality to match!”

Hard to find words of praise without bursting into song. Staff was friendly and accommodating from airport pickup to dropoff at Belize City dock. Dining room staff made every meal an occasion - as did, of course, the companionship of our family. With Cardinal as head divemaster and excellent assistants, I learned new skills, improved others, and was expertly guided... More

Thanks for the wonderful compliments and we look forward to your return stay with us. We will be sure to share with the team! More

“Excellent Dive Trip Destination”

Reviewed 12 May 2013 via mobile

I've been to a dozen different locations in the Caribbean for dive trips, but Blackbird ranks right at the top. Loved the 5-10 minute boat rides out to dive sites. The coral and marine life of the reef was terrific. The dive leaders and boat staff were excellent; always right there to help you out if you needed and always... More

Many thanks for your review and very excited your group of 10 had such an awesome trip! Love to have you back! More

Reviewed 10 May 2013

Spent five days on the atoll the last week of April. I cannot imagine Blackbird Caye Resort getting anything other than five star reviews. From the staff, the management, the facilities, and the location, I still just shake my head in disbelief. Isolated island life at it's best. The management did change a few months ago, with the intention of... More

So glad you enjoyed your 5 days with us and extend our thanks for your compliments. Happy to hear that you got to experience the aerial too! More
