Cayo Espanto
Amazing Helicopter Transfers to Cayo Espanto
Cayo Espanto is located just off the southern shore of Ambergris
Caye and what better way to get there than by a fun and exciting
site-seeing helicopter ride to the island. There are three different
routes to choose from in the transfer from the Belize International
Airport to the resort. The options are as follows:
Option 1:
Direct Route to Cayo Espanto (Blue Route)
Upon leaving from the Belize International Airport, you go directly
into the breath-taking view of the Caribbean Sea. Flying through
the air you will pass over a few small cayes such as the ‘Hen &
Chicken’ Caye. Enjoy the scenery of the open blue waters just
breathing in the fresh air. Further along, you will pass over
Congrejo Caye, and southern Ambergris Caye before landing at
the final destination at Cayo Espanto.
Option 2:
Route)
Reef Flight Transfer to Cayo Espanto (Red
After leaving from the Belize International Airport, the flight takes
you directly to the exotic view of the world’s second largest reef,
Belize’s Barrier Reef. See the small cayes along the reef as they
drench in the midst of the deep blue waters, such as Coffee Caye, Montego Caye and Long Caye. Following
the path of the reef, be amazed at the different shades of colors of
the Reef and look closely as you might see a manatee, dolphin or
shark in the waters. You will then fly over the golf course at Caye
Chapel.
Then, it’s one thing crossing over the split of Caye Caulker by land
but imagine viewing it from above seeing all the formation of how the
hurricane just divided the caye into two separate parts. Further down
the path of the Reef you will be able to see the most popular
snorkeling site in Belize, Hol Chan Marine Reserve. The flight
continues further along the reef where you can be dazzled by the
water view that borders our Reef until arriving to the final destination
of Cayo Espanto.

Option 3:
Blue Hole Over Flight Transfer to Cayo Espanto (Orange Route)
After leaving from the Belize International Airport, the flight takes
you over the mainland and directly into the crystal Blue waters of
the Caribbean Sea. You will quickly have the Reef in view where
you will fly over Gallows Pt. At the cross over of the reef you will
view the rushing waves that fight to get across the reef. Keep
your eyes open too; you may be one of the lucky few who get to
see sharks, dolphins, sting rays, manatees or crocodiles along
the way.
Turneffe Island is the
largest of the three
Atolls located in Belize
stretching 30 miles long and 10 miles wide. The flight enters over the
west of the Island at Snake Pt., then you will enter the Central
Lagoon where you will fly over many small cayes before reaching the
Northern Bogue and the east end of Turneffe Islands. At the atolls,
there are about 200 cayes that are covered by mangroves. The
Turneffe Islands are home to many exotic marine animals the more
popular of those are the eagle rays, playful dolphins, turtles, huge
green morays, giant Jew fish, nurse sharks, reef sharks, grouper,
snapper and hose-eye jacks.
The adventure continues as you venture into the open ocean continuing south-east heading towards the
Lighthouse Reef Atoll, beyond the barrier en route to the one of a kind Blue Hole. You will first enter the
Lighthouse Reef Atoll on the southern end and overfly Long Caye and you will
see on the horizon one of Belize’s largest protected areas, Half Moon Caye
Natural Monument which encompasses 10,000 acres of atoll and 15 square
miles of surrounding areas.
You will then fly inside the Lighthouse Reef
heading north to the great Blue Hole. As you go
across this spectacular hole, you will be dazzled
by its size and color. The Blue Hole is the
largest ocean sinkhole in the world, created by
a collapsed underground cavern, hence giving
the appearance of a dark blue circle amidst the
turquoise sea. The Blue Hole measures 1,000 ft
in diameter and 460 feet in depth. It is located
approximately 60 miles west from Belize City
and in March of 1996 it was declared a World
Heritage Site and later declared a National
Monument in February of 1999.
Your journey comes to an end as we head to back to Turneffe Islands, and
then the main reef on your way to your final destination Cayo Espanto.
