A snorkeling highlight maybe the opportunity to float along the inner rim of the great Blue Hole of Lighthouse Reef. Essentially a grand cavern whose roof collapsed long ago, the Blue Hole is famous for it's perfectly circular shape -- 1000 feet in diameter -- and it's precipitous walls plunging over 400 feet deep through clear water to a distant dark bottom. Although the Blue Hole is promoted principally as a dive destination, the "fringing" lip of this geologic phenomena features one of the richest and most colorful shallow water coral communities found anywhere in the Caribbean. It's an exquisite snorkeling location - a protected habitat for myriad fish and invertebrate life, thriving just a few inches below the surface.
Your Itinerary:
Day 1: Group flight from Belize City to Flores, Guatemala. Transfer to our resort, our home for the next 6 nights. Welcome drinks, orientation and dinner. Includes: (D)
Day 2: During this program our base will be the casual Blackbird Caye Resort. The resort features a variety of comfortable accommodations including 10 individual hardwood cabanas, and two larger buildings that have either 2 or 3 private rooms in each. Includes: (B) (L) (D)
Day 3: All accommodations have individual private bathrooms. Blackbird Caye is situated in the Turneffe Island Group, a collection of small "remote" isles forming what many biologists consider one of the few coral atolls in the Western Hemisphere. Includes: (B) (L) (D)
Day 4: Although conceptually distant from the mainland, geographically it's only about one hour by covered launch from Belize City. The resort spreads out along a palm-lined sandy beach, and has a sturdy wooden pier used for boarding the boats. The location is ideal because it offers a variety of snorkeling opportunities easily accessible from the resort. Includes: (B) (L) (D)
Day 5: There are also a number of excellent shallow, protected patch reef areas within a short boat ride of the resort. In addition to the substantial coral heads, we typically view squadrons of reef squid, schools of snappers, inquisitive gray angelfish, and the massive southern stingray which can be up to five feet wide. For our group, the resort promises to reserve a boat to exclusively serve our snorkeling needs. Includes: (B) (L) (D)
Day 6: While Sea for Yourself programs consider snorkeling the top priority, this particular occasion provides certified SCUBA divers with excellent diving opportunities. The resort offers a complete complement of tanks, weights, rental gear, and divemaster services. Includes: (B) (L) (D)
Day 7: Our program concludes with a small taste of the Belizean mainland where we have the opportunity to visit the internationally respected Belize Zoo. After breakfast, we transfer to the airport in Flores (by A.C.-van) to depart on our international flight back home. Includes: (B)
