 | |  |  | Water Taxi: Caye Caulker Water Taxi | Tip Rating:   |  |  | |  |
These boats are how you get from Caye Caulker to Belize City or to San Pedro on Ambergris Caye. They run every hour or hour and a half, depending on the time of day, and cost $35BZ roundtrip, $20 BZ one-way. It's 45 minutes to Belize City, 25 to San Pedro. Don’t worry, if a boat fills up, they'll take a second one, so everyone will get on and you don't need to reserve a space. The people-watching is good here, from locals commuting to the occasional cruise-ship passenger on a daytrip. You’ll likely share your ride with crates of fruit and other cargo going between islands and the mainland. Obviously the ride is windy, and there might be a few bumps, but it’s a lot more colorful and enjoyable than taking the cramped little prop plane.

Our failure to catch a water taxi at the beginning of our Belize trip was rectified a few days later when it was time for us to leave Caye Caulker and head further north, to San Pedro on Ambergris Cay. The day had started with the first grey skies of the trip and was a bit cool as well, so it was a good day to leave the sunny beaches for the slightly more 'upscale' northern Cay! I walked across the beach from our hotel to buy our tickets (US$10 each, credit cards accepted) for the 10 AM departure, giving us plenty of time to pack our backpacks for the short ride. It was not long before our departure time that we were standing at the end of the wharf with the other passengers waiting for the incoming craft. Upon boarding, the crew stowed the various backpacks under the seats and down a hatch inside the cabin while we grabbed a couple of seats just at the edge of the cabin in case it was a rough crossing. They have life-jackets aboard (check out the front window!) but none were required to be worn. We were soon underway on what turned out to be a choppy sea, with the 3x200 HP outboard engines powering us along quite nicely. The 35 minute run to San Pedro stayed on the lee side-side of the coastal barrier reef to shelter us from the worst of the waves of the Caribbean Sea, so the ride was quite comfortable. As always on this vacation, the crossing time passed quickly as we compared notes with the other travellers and their adventures. If you get the chance, be sure to take a water taxi ride at least once - they are fun, fast and cheap!
