What it's like
Caye Caulker is an island off the coast of Belize, a short hop by water taxi from Belize City. It is reached daily by water taxi, which makes it one of the simplest island days you can plan.
A visit is an easy one. Water taxis from Belize City go to Caye Caulker and San Pedro, so the crossing is the main part of the planning. Once you land, the island is best explored on foot, with snorkeling trips and reef outings running from here.
Good to know
- Stay in groups and carry your passport, bottled water and sunscreen.
