Sobre esta propriedade

Bem-vindo à Ilha dos Pássaros!

  • Fique no seu próprio em um belo local dentro de um dos melhores atóis de Belize (6 km do continente) em um ambiente confortável, e com excelente natação, mergulho, caiaque e explorar apenas fora de sua porta. Bird Island tem sido destaque em muitas publicações nacionais e internacionais. Para obter informações completas, consulte as "Notas" abaixo.

    O tema central de Bird Island é um tipo de aventura independente de Robinson Crusoe, para aqueles que querem ficar sozinhos sem ninguém (sem funcionários), basta estar com sua amada, família ou grupo de amigos queridos. A Bird Island é oferecida a um preço excepcional por uma experiência única e é mais adequada para o autoconfiante na natureza e está mais interessada em fazer suas próprias coisas a seu bel-prazer, em total privacidade.

    Quer ficar longe de tudo, mesmo para o menor tempo, então este é o lugar. Quer ir nadar ou mergulhar em águas cristalinas em um belo recife intocado, você será cercado por um. Quer pegar uma vara de pescar e jogar peixes de alimentação, o atol ao redor da ilha é considerado um dos melhores por ele.

    Bird Island também tende a ter um clima excepcional, sempre fresco, mesmo durante os meses de verão. Você também não encontrará nenhuma das famosas moscas de areia ou mosquitos em Bird Island, que tende a atormentar o continente e a maioria das outras ilhas a maior parte do ano; foi preenchido a mão para atingir esse objetivo importante.

    Depois de passar algum tempo na Ilha dos Pássaros, mesmo pelo menor tempo, você sentirá que fez algo realmente especial.

          Informações Adicionais Importantes. (Atualizado em 7 de maio de 2018)

    De avião: (Maya ou Tropic Air) US $ 135 por trajeto por pessoa / 40 minutos de voo. Maneira mais rápida.
    De carro alugado: entre US $ 90 e US $ 125 por dia; cerca de 3. 5 horas de carro. (Nota: Se dirigir sozinho, dirija pela cidade de Belmopan, não pela estrada costeira que ainda não está pavimentada).

    ** Independentemente do modo de viagem, por favor, avise-nos o seu itinerário, para que possamos ajudar na coordenação geral. **
      
     # 2 - A viagem de Placencia Village a Bird Island está incluída no preço da reserva. Nós nos encontramos no meio-dia no posto de gasolina da M & M Hardware, que fica na parte traseira de seu amplo estacionamento. M & M está no meio da cidade, perto de tudo. É extremamente útil para você nos informar se a coleta precisa ser posterior ao meio-dia (Atenção: esta doca é diferente da nova doca da cidade que fica no final da cidade.)

        # 3- Duração da estadia: Temos uma estadia mínima de 4 dias, máximo de 5 dias. Pela experiência, aprendemos que 4-5 dias é perfeito, fácil de planejar e elimina a necessidade de ter que voltar para a cidade durante a sua estadia, embora essa opção esteja disponível. Mais tempo fica disponível mediante pedido especial. Ao fazer a reserva, nos ajuda tremendamente se escolhermos dias adjacentes a dias já bloqueados.

    # 4 acomodações de dormir: A ilha tem três edifícios; a casa principal que tem um quarto principal com uma cama queen-size com todas as comodidades. O segundo edifício é um novo sobre a água, cabana totalmente auto-suficiente, também com cama queen-size e também com todas as comodidades. O terceiro edifício é uma segunda cabana com uma cama de casal, mesa, etc, mas não banheiro. A ilha é mais adequada para 4 pessoas.

    # 5 - Convidados extras: Por causa das novas adições à ilha, trazer convidados extras é agora uma opção fácil. No momento da reserva, se você não tiver certeza de quantos hóspedes adicionais haverá, talvez seja melhor reservar apenas 2, mas altere sua reserva à medida que se aproxima da chegada real. Somente crianças menores de 5 anos são gratuitas.

    # 6 - passeios de lado, enquanto permanecer na ilha: há dois passeios de lado que recomendamos altamente enquanto permanecer em Bird Island com pick up é na própria ilha.
    O primeiro é a nossa viagem "Smogasbord" (US $ 200 primeiro 4 pessoas / US $ 50 por pessoa além de 4) para pesca, snorkeling e lagosta, melhor feito durante o primeiro dia desde que você vai pegar muitos peixes que duram o resto da sua estadia ; nossos hóspedes simplesmente adoraram esse tipo de aventura, pois também aprenderão como fazê-lo sozinhos ao redor do atol da Ilha das Aves.
    A segunda turnê é viajar para a principal barreira de corais (a segunda maior do mundo) para snorkeling e / ou mergulho (o custo varia), o que podemos providenciar para você com uma roupa local e isso pode ser feito mesmo depois de chegar e são já ficando na ilha.

    # 7 - Exclusividade. Sim, quando você reservar Bird Island, nós não queremos dizer propriedade privada, mas que você terá toda a ilha para si mesmo em total privacidade com uma opção pessoal sem linha de bronzeado..

    # 8 - Política de cancelamento. Estamos abaixo e seguimos a política Super Strict 60 do Airbnb.

    # 9 - Sapatos do tipo sapatilha. A ilha é cercada por planícies de areia e a 100 pés de corais vivos; Trazer sapatos macios que cobrem os dedos dos pés e tornozelo é uma coisa boa quando se anda por aí. Existem muitos pares na ilha que podem servir para você, mas não há garantia de fazê-lo.

    # 10 - Equipamento de snorkel: Traga o seu próprio ou você pode alugá-los localmente no caminho para a ilha. Sim, a ilha tem muitos conjuntos no entanto.

    # 11 - Equipamento de pesca: A ilha é geralmente cercada por constantes cardumes de peixes (valetes, carangas, etc) alimentando-se em volta dela. Melhor trazer (ou alugar) seu próprio equipamento e algumas pequenas colheres de prata (1 ") se estiver pescando. Se você quiser fazer pesca de fundo, você deve obter isca de camarão quando as compras de alimentos. A ilha tem agora uma nova doca de pesca.

    # 12 - Comida: Bird Island é um cenário de auto-serviço, então planeje trazer bastante carnes, vegetais e bebidas (e bebidas alcoólicas) para a sua estadia. A ilha, no entanto, tem uma cozinha muito bem abastecida com uma infinidade de condimentos, como misturas de bolo, farinha, arroz, especiarias, óleos, toalhas de papel, sacos de lixo, etc., então você não é obrigado a pensar em cada coisinha . Perto de onde partimos para a ilha, enquanto em Placencia, há excelentes lojas de alimentos (Ming) e bancas de vegetais. A compra de alimentos é um passo muito simples e pode ser deixado para o último momento.

    # 13 - Refrigeração: A ilha tem um novo refrigerador a gás propano com um congelador de tamanho razoável. Tem bandejas de gelo. Levar pelo menos um saco de gelo nunca é uma má ideia.

    # 14 - Água: A ilha tem um sistema de água da chuva bem filtrada para todos os usos gerais. No entanto, ainda fornecemos água potável purificada para beber. Significado não precisa se preocupar em trazer água.

    # 15 - Comunicação. Um telefone local está na ilha para que você possa ligar para números locais. A ilha tem muito bom e confiável WiFi.

    # 16 - Potência. A ilha funciona com energia solar e tem um gerador eólico; então nenhum gerador barulhento. Há um novo gerador Generac IQ2000 silencioso disponível para execução durante dias nublados, se necessário. A ilha não está equipada atualmente para acomodar o uso de itens excepcionalmente de alta potência, como secadores de cabelo ou condicionadores de ar..

    # 17 - Passeios de barco. Há dois caiaques para uma pessoa, pranchas de joelho e tubo interno para percorrer o atol que o rodeia.

    # 18 - Loção Bronzeadora e Spray de Insetos. Lembre-se, são os trópicos; o melhor tipo de loção bronzeadora é um dos tipos de Fator de Bloqueio, seja loção ou spray. Quanto aos insetos (i. E. Moscas de areia), a Ilha dos Pássaros não costuma tê-los, ao contrário do continente ou da maioria dos outros Cayes, mas em raros momentos extremamente calmos, ainda podem vir momentaneamente de outras ilhas vizinhas..

    # 19 - Lugares para ficar no continente: sugerimos o Cozy Corner, o mais próximo de onde decolamos, e o mais fácil de visitar as lojas locais. Sea Spray, Ranguana Lodge também são boas escolhas. Uma opção mais sofisticada e ainda "na cidade" é Chabil Mar. Todos os itens acima estão à direita na praia de Placencia. Ficar bem longe da cidade até a península muitas vezes requer transporte.

    # 20 - Padrão climático geral:
    15 de janeiro a 15 de junho: é considerada a "estação seca".
    15 de junho a 15 de julho: as primeiras chuvas sazonais tendem a ocorrer.
    15 de julho a 15 de setembro: geralmente é um clima muito agradável, interrompido por uma tempestade de 30 minutos.
    15 de setembro a 30 de outubro: as segundas chuvas sazonais tendem a ocorrer.
    De 1 de novembro a 30 de dezembro, diariamente, tempestades espalhadas aqui e ali, mas excelente clima em longos trechos entre elas.
    (Por favor, note que o tempo em Belize tende a ser agradável, especialmente em Bird Island, que está em uma sombra de chuva e dentro de um atol, por isso suas águas circundantes permanecem claras, mesmo quando ventoso. Clima. Escusado será dizer que nunca poderíamos garantir, por isso o acima é apenas um guia aproximado.

    Última nota: Bird Island está sempre passando por melhorias a cada ano. Em 2016, adicionamos novos decks, uma doca de pesca e o novo observatório com vista para o atol, que os hóspedes receberam. No ano passado (2017) fizemos as novas passarelas e uma cabana totalmente independente sobre a água (16 pés x 16 pés). Este ano (2018) já adicionamos uma nova doca de pesca e adicionaremos muito mais acréscimos e melhorias, como uma verdadeira praia e uma ilha adjacente.

One of a kind location!

Everything about Bird Island was amazing from start to finish. Fred was great about communicating the itinerary and what was needed to make our stay perfect. His son helped us shop for groceries, transported us and all of our food and gear to the island, and even helped turn in our rental car so we didn't have to pay extra for it to sit parked for the time we were on the island! My two boys (ages 15 and 16) loved to snorkel and explore the area around the island. We fished, relaxed, made delicious meals in the lovely kitchen, and spent the evenings playing cards and board games. They have thought of everything and there is nothing missing from this amazing place. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience.

Relax and enjoy

What a fantastic place! Fred, Ruth and Leo are considerate, responsive and accommodating. If you are looking for a place to get away, this is it. You won’t have all the luxuries of high priced resorts, but you will have everything you need for a true island adventure! That is exactly how Bird Island is set up. Leave your cares on the mainland and spend your day snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding or relaxing in a hammock. Do not skip the chance to go fishing with Thurman. In my opinion, it is best to spend a full day on the island before scheduling a fishing trip. It gives you time to get adjusted to your stay. Also, 5 days seemed like the perfect amount of time for us. Not too long that we needed more supplies and not too short that we were not able to enjoy all there was to offer.

Truly Unique Fantasy Experience!

Bird Island has been a dream vacation for us for a long time. And after years of looking at pictures and reading reviews online, it was almost surreal to step foot on the island for the first time. "I can't believe we're really here" went through my mind several times throughout the week. The entire experience was amazing! The logistics were smooth, from meetup to shopping to transportation - Leo handled it all in a professional and friendly manner. Fred and Ruth were there to welcome us upon arrival and the hand off went off without a hitch. The island itself is a dream! This is not a five star luxury resort, so don't expect that sort of experience. This is something different - an island getaway where you are isolated, free, and truly at one with the ocean and nature around you. Snorkeling, kayaking, and fishing are second to none. At night the sky lit up with stars in a way that you just don't experience in city life. Of course I have to give a nod to Thurman who gave us an amazing experience and made sure we had enough fish to eat for the whole week! All in all it was a dream come true, and an adventure that I will treasure for the rest of my life.

Location, Location, Location

After almost two years of planning then two years of pandemic delays we finally got to stay at Bird Island. It was all I expected and more. The location is insanely beautiful. You are located on a pristine reef with tons of marine wildlife. Moray eels, spotted eagle rays, and nurse sharks just to name a few. Kayaking or snorkeling in the calm morning waters to evenings with drinks by the bar area listening to music. Relaxation is what this property is all about. Fred, Ruth, and family were wonderful. Ruth's cooking was insanely good. Leo was a great captain and tour guide on our trip to Silk Caye and Laughing bird. The Monkey river tour should not be missed either (we did this one while staying on the mainland so we wouldn't cut into our time on the island). If Privasea didn't have one of the expeditions we wanted to take Ruth was very helpful in getting a good tour guid who did. If you are hesitant to book this property don't be. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience (maybe twice since we may book again!)

We hope to be back again soon!

This is our second time to Bird Island. Fred and his team have done amazing updates and additions on the island since our first stay. Fred is a dream to work with and very responsive. His team will work with you on anything you need or could want. Having an affordable remote island with all the amenities you could want paired with your own reef for fishing, lobster, snorkeling or kayaking is beyond explanation. This is and will be a go to destination for us as a family for years to come, cant wait to get back as soon as we can!

One-of-a-Kind Vacation Rental

Even though there are so many pictures, videos, and reviews of Bird Island and you are more than certain it's gonna be one of the greatest places you've ever been to, it's still an overwhelming feeling when you actually get there. Euphoria is a word you use a lot while you are there to describe how you feel. From the start, and we were booked months in advance, Fred is right there to answer all your questions every step of the way. Once you are there you feel like you've been friends for a long time. After reading countless 5 star reviews from everyone else's experiences, there's no way you could ever adequately describe it in any different words. What makes it so practical but unique is how it sits on this huge coral reef in 3 feet of water, so it's not like living on a huge house boat where you have to dive into deep water to get wet. If you love the ocean then this is your opportunity to experience it on a totally different level, whether you're the type who loves to swim, snorkel, and kayak in the middle of the sea or if you like lying in a hammock, sitting at the outdoor bar, or just chilling out in one of the many great places to relax, this is the perfect place for either.. Everything about the place has been very well thought out, executed, and maintained. Fred and family take care of every detail for you so try not overthink anything. The village of Placencia is a whole other 5 star review, it's an amazingly quaint little primitive place. Go there for a few days before Bird Island for a wonderful Central American experience. In short, just get it on your bucket list, book it, and go. Thanks Fred, Ruth, Leo, and the rest of the family crew for a wonder time

Relax!

Lovely island - gorgeous setting! Missing an area to swim/sit in the sea. But that's a minor thing as you can jump in the sea :) We didn't have enough firewood for anymore than 1 fire which was a shame - I much prefer to cook on a fire than charcoal BBQ. Nothing can be done if there is no firewood around though! :) But Fred was a really lovely host - very helpful and always 'on call'! I loved the overwater bungalows! Sooo calming to fall asleep and wake up to the water beneath the floor. Loved it! Lots of books to read, loooads of food to help yourselves to! I don't think I've been in such a well packed rental! We brought way too much food with us too - luckily we had a few days in Placencia afterwards to eat the leftovers. Haha! We had gorgeous weather - it can get really windy - but that just keeps you cool. We also had a lightning storm one night - which was amazing to watch from my bed. :) Book with confidence!

Amazing experience!

A great experience with our 5 and 7 year old girls! Fred is a great host and has the island stocked with everything you need and then some. Getting to watch our girls play around on the island all day catching crabs and little fish off of the dock was perfect. The reef around the island is great and it was fun to night snorkel as well. Also agree with everyone else that you need to go fish/snorkeling with Thurman. Great guide with adults and kids and works really hard to get you fish and lobster! Thanks again Fred for sharing your amazing island with us!

Rustic island retreat!

When will you ever get the chance to say that you were stranded on a dessert island? We were and it was a great experience. Fishing and snorkeling right at our front door. You also get to experience the ocean in such a different way we you are so close to it. Am experience we will never forget. I will include that while it certainly was a good experience it was extremely rustic. It was between camping and glamping. Definitely closer to camping. While the accommodations were quirky and sweet, it was not very comfortable and very few creature comforts like great mattresses, pillows, sheets and towels. While very clean they were not at all plush or comfy. The kitchen is well stocked for the casual cook. If you are looking at making more refined meals the kitchen is tough. Mismatched dishes and plates, few utensils a couple or measuring cups but not a full set, etc. We did enjoy our tine for sure but it would have been truly amazing if the property was upgraded a bit for comfort. I say thug because we spent a good bit of the trip talking about how we outfit the property with a better interior design and more comfortable attributes. Then island and concept are great it just needs an update to take it from more of a camping experience something more sophisticated and comfortable.

A special place with some of the best snorkeling there is

Fred, Ruth and Leo are incredible at working with their guests and making sure things go well. We found the snorkeling gear at the island to be better than what we used in Hawaii and Puerto Rico and this made snorkeling a great time. While I found that my skills in spearing fish need a lot of work it was fun getting out there and trying it. This is a very special place, as-advertised in the listing and well worth the adventure for those that are looking for a very unique place! Thanks Fred, Ruth and Leo!

Lovely again - you can't go wrong staying here.

This was our second trip to Bird Island. Fred has made a lot of additions to the the island. We were so happy to be soaking up the Belizien sunshine from our very own island. We did encounter some bitting insects (we couldn't see them, but we have the bits, so we know they are there now.) There was an amazing pantry plus sunscreen, bug dope, fins, water shoes, shampoo...... everything you can think of, too many to mention. Fred, Leo and Ruth were delightful to work with and I highly recommend a stay. (just be careful to watch for hermit crabs who we shared the walkways with. They we apt to wander about and are very cute.)

Paradise awaits - JUST GO!

What a special place Bird Island is. From the moment we stepped off the boat we were in heaven. Late night hermit crab races and kayaking through the bioluminescence. Fishing/snoring with Thorman is a must! One of a kind fishing experience. Caught enough fish that could have fed us all 4 nights! The lobster he caught mmmm - steak and lobster night was out of this world good! We snorkeled the whole atoll around the island. Great snorkeling. We saw octopus, nurse sharks, sting rays, all types of tropical fish. Fred and Ruth have picture guides back at the house that we enjoyed going back to see what the names of the fish were. Enjoyed watching lightening storms in the distance from our hammocks. We ate well, made lasting memories, and spent 4 days exploring nonstop. Bird Island is now top on the vacations we have taken. Tips: DON’T overwork the ice box/cooler. Get about 4-5 bags of ice. Put all your drinks in the ice chest and meats or things that could spoil in the ice box and refrain from continuously open the fridge door. Chum with your left over fish guts right off the dock and all sorts of fish will come up to feed. Fred and Ruth have the House well stocked with some non parishables. No need to buy water, coals, oil, cake mixes, pancake mixes, cereal, can goods, spaghetti, coffe...we bought way too much for our trip, but we know for next time pretty much all you need is a swimsuit and a snorkel! Thank you Fred and Ruth for sharing the little piece of paradise with us. Can’t wait to watch all the improvements unfold and bring our son back one day. :)

Peaceful Tranquility!

This is where you go to find yourself; to spend "quality" time with family; to find peace. Nurse sharks and stingrays greet you right from the dock and splendid Starfish and Eagle Rays can be spotted from the elevated deck through the absolutely clear water. Some of the best snorkeling occurs right in front of the island and bioluminescense surrounds it on moonless nights. Kayaks provide relaxing and sometimes challenging recreation. After midnight, stars and galaxies awaken and there is nothing quite like seeing the Milky Way and constellations sparkle with a 360 degree view. Spectacular sunrises every morning and spectacular sunsets every night. Barbecue dinners on the deck while sipping cocktails lead to pleasant and relaxing conversation often foregone in busy lives. The people who provide this peace and calm, Fred and Ruth, as well as their son and Thormon, are some of the nicest, most thoughtful people you will ever meet. From the time you arrive until the time you leave, they allow you the isolation and serenity you desire, while always available should the need arise. Our family situation had changed since the initial booking, and we thought we would have to cancel, but they assured us they could work with us to make it work, and they delivered. While on the island, our large family taxed the propane fridge, and when made aware of the situation, they delivered a large cooler with plenty of ice and replaced the spoiled items within hours. No small feat considering you are six miles from shore. Our son flew in from Germany to meet us the last few days and Fred and Ruth arranged for someone to meet him at the airport and provided a boat ride out so he could join us and we could all be together the last few days .Finally, fishing and snorkeling with Thormon was simply wondrous! Our favorite part of the trip. The fish we caught; the stunning snorkeling sites he took us to; the amazing barbecue he grilled our last day. Bird Island is an absolute treasure. Fred and Ruth are continually updating and improving the site. Don't hesitate to book this once in a lifetime opportunity.

Absolutely perfect

What an amazing expirence!!! We stayed for 4 nights & 5 days for our 10 year anniversary, at the beginning of September. I have an obsession with the beautiful and amazing country of Belize and my husband knows it all too well. He chose this island, knowing how much I would love it!! Fred is super helpful and will answer any questions you may have. The island is absolutely amazing. Beautiful clear water, surrounds the entire island, you can see schools of small fish, trumpet fish and star fish right from the edge. If you like to be in the water make sure you bring snorkel gear, there is PLENTY to see!! The kayaks are super fun! The house has all the basics you will need. You will have to cook your own meals, but it is all worth it with the spectacular views that are right at your feet. This is not a 5 star hotel with all the amenities, the house is somewhat basic and electricity and water conservation is a must. (But honestly if you are spending all of you time in the house, something is wrong with you.) The stars at night are endless, and the illuminating plankton are magical. The nights were very windy and were a little hard getting used to. The doors and windows stayed open to keep the breeze coming in, which felt a little weird, but if you close everything, it gets warm fast. Overall it was the most perfect gift and expirence I could have asked for!!! If you are adventurous and don't expect fancy amenities, you will LOVE Bird Island!

Book it, you won't regret it.

My family of 4 traveled through Central America for a month. Bird Island was our last stop before heading home. After being gone a month, I figured we would all be ready to come home, but none of us wanted to leave the island. My sons are 5 and 9 and I didn't have to worry about being surrounded by ocean because the reef around the island was shallow enough for my 5 year old to stand in. The snorkeling around the island was great, and kayaking to other islands was enjoyable and challenging! We stayed in 8 different homes during our month away, and Fred had thought of everything to make his guests comfortable. We couldn't believe how well he stocked the kitchen, when he says all you need is meat and produce, he's not kidding. This island was truly an experience of a lifetime.

Best Vacation We've Had In A Long Time!

We heard about Bird Island from an article we read about renting an entire island for yourself - and we just couldn't believe the price - so we sent an email to Fred to find out details - and ended up booking a week on his island - it just sounded like a lot of fun. Fred did not disappoint - we had the best time and were totally delighted with our stay on Bird Island - Fred thought of everything and made our stay there so relaxing and so much fun! Since it was just my wife and I, we really felt like we were in some movie about living on a deserted island - except we didn't need to worry about finding food or drink - it was just a fantastic 6 days and 5 nights that we spent on the island. We went snorkeling and kayaking - and all the equipment was right there on the island - no need to rent anything! Relaxing in the hammocks and just enjoying the sense of being alone and not hearing any traffic or seeing any people (except an occasional boat that would wander by) ... We'll definitely be back again - maybe stay for 2 weeks next time ... it certainly ranks up there with our favorite vacations of all time - it was everything we were hoping for - and more! Thank you, Fred!

Can we give it more than 5 stars????

I am not sure that I can choose one word to describe Bird Island. I can say that this is a beautiful place, it's an amazing place, it's peaceful, and it was an experience of a lifetime! We've traveled to many amazing places and I'm not sure that anything can top this one. What Fred has created and shares with many, words cannot describe. I hope to return one day. The entire booking process was seamless and Fred answered all of my annoying questions quickly. He went above and beyond, helping me upon our return to land. He has a wealth of knowledge and shares it openly. The accommdations were perfect. Sitting on the deck each night watching the stars as well as the glow in the dark fish was great. Cayaking and paddle boating and snorkeling all day and alone...who could ask for anything more? I'm sure that others who have stayed would agree that Bird Island has a permanent place in our hearts and memories. This place is great for the soul!

Beautiful and relaxing, just perfect for us.

I can't imagine a better place to be. The little island was perfect for us because it was just the two of us! Fred had the kitchen stocked, we got fresh fruits and veggies in Placencia before we left. The breezes off the water was awesome. We snorkeled, kayaked, and mostly hung out in the hammocks enjoying the beautiful scenes that God put in front of us day after day. We truely enjoyed this trip and Fred wad so much help before answering all our questions. If I could give it more than five stars I would! Hope to someday return to "our" little island.

So relaxing . . .

Home for 4 days now and still basking in the relaxing glow of this fantastic vacation. The island is perfect. Peaceful, tranquil, private - with wonderful activities at your fingertips. Fishing, kayaking and snorkeling kept us busy several times a day. We loved being able to hop in the kayak, paddle a short way, and snorkel in some of the most beautiful coral reefs. We enjoyed watching the sunsets from the rooftop deck, gazing at the moon and stars from the hammocks, and drinking coffee on the deck watching the sunrise. This trip was spontaneous! I read an article about Bird Island and immediately said "I want to go there!" I grabbed the first dates I could find available. Best decision ever. Fred is a wonderful host and rightfully proud of his island. He will take good care of you. We enjoyed getting to know you, Fred. Thank you for the "island tour" and for great conversation. Hoping to return soon . . . Susan and Mark
