Discover Belize's remote tropical islands by kayak
in a way few people have a chance to experience.

Now is the time to discover Belize's off-shore tropical islands by kayak in a way few people have a chance to experience. Based on a private island at the Blackbird Caye Eco-Resort on Turneffe Atoll, this unique adventure offers excellent kayaking and snorkeling in areas usually inaccessible to standard Belize programs.

Kayakers stay in comfortable double occupancy, air-conditioned beachfront cabanas with private baths. Our program offers half day excursions with lunch back at the lodge as well as full day paddles with private island picnics. Each day is a divine experience of sea kayaking the crystal blue waters of Turneffe. Each night we return to the resort for a hot shower and a comfortable bed.

Turneffe Atoll has the highest biodiversity in the entire Caribbean with a well-developed reef encircling the entire island chain. Over 25 species of birds are found on Blackbird and the surrounding habitat serves as a feeding and resting area for gregarious dolphins and sea turtles.

If we are lucky, you may also see Crunchy & Munchy, the salt water crocodiles that inhabit Turneffe Atoll, sunning themselves on the beach. You will also get a chance to interact with Joseph, a local fisherman who makes and sells coconut oil.

Towards the end of the week, we paddle the northern part of the atoll, enjoying a special picnic on an uninhabited island. Kayakers also have the option to join the Resort's day trip to Lighthouse Reef, the Blue Hole and Half Moon Caye Bird Sanctuary. From the first to the last day on Turneffe Atoll, this is an adventure into a sense of beauty and grace that will be with you forever. As we always say on Turneffe Atoll, "Be Happy Monn", and that we will be!

No previous kayak experience is needed to participate. This adventure is designed to introduce the beginner to a great way of exploration as well as offer the challenges relished by skilled paddlers.
