As one of the closest resorts to the Great Blue Hole, Blackbird Caye offers a weekly excursion to explore it's depths as well as the nearby Half Moon Caye Natural Monument. Beautiful reefs and a close by wreck will make for a great week of diving. Unspoiled natural beauty and uncommon personal service makes this an idyllic tropical island retreat.
