Things to Do  

Snorkel

Snorkel, Caye Caulker

 38 Reviews  I went for the half day snorkeling which was 3 hrs, and was only $25US. Ian our guide was born and raised on Caye Caulker, so he was very knowledgeable and friendly. He was also very funny. He took us to the coral reef and pointed out all the fish that we saw, giving us the names as he went along.... 

Split

Split, Caye Caulker

 18 Reviews  There are different stories as to how the Split came into existence, but most have to do with the 1961 Hurricane Hattie that hit Caye Caulker, killing 13 people, destroying all but 8 houses, and splitting the island in two. Although it wasn't originally as large as it is now, the Split was gradually... 

Go fishing

Go fishing, Caye Caulker

 8 Reviews  I read a post on here previously about fishing in Belize. So we had arranged to go with Pops as we loved the post from Jane. My husband and I just got home last week and are still excited from our vacation. We are planning on when we shall return as we speak! Pops was defiantly the highlight of our... 

Manatee Tour

Manatee Tour, Caye Caulker

 3 Reviews  The first full day in Belize we took a trip with Driftwood Dive shop to see the manatees. The open outboard picked up guests from various hotels, and then sped to the mantee area. Here they turn off the engines and pole the boats into the area. Not only do the boats not use motors, but they are... 

Scuba

Scuba, Caye Caulker

 8 Reviews  I did two days of diving with Frenchies on Caye Caulker. Their shop staff were extremely welcoming,took time to explain what the sites were like, and were flexible with payment (no problem..come back after the dive with your Visa card). The DMs provided very thorough briefings but were flexible... 

Chill

Chill, Caye Caulker

 12 Reviews  Anyone who's ever been on a trip with me knows that I'm not the kind of person who likes to just "sit down and relax" while I'm traveling, so even I am not sure if I recognize the person I became during the 10 days I spent on Caye Caulker! On several occasions while my travelmates were taking a nap... 

Sun Set / Rise

Sun Set / Rise, Caye Caulker

 10 Reviews  Pretty much every day we got up early enough to watch the sunrise over the Carribean Sea from our bedroom window, and after a few days we decided to head over to the other side of the island to watch the sunset. After hitting a few docks, we finally found the best spot on the island for watching... 

Hotels  

Seaside Cabanas

 2 Reviews and 242 Opinions  We were so happy with our stay at Seaside Cabanas; we've only been back for a week and we're already... 

De Real Macaw

 1 Review and 84 Opinions  The sea view cabins might be a little bit of a stretch of the word "view" but it was still good... 

Restaurants  

The SandBox

The SandBox, Caye Caulker

 12 Reviews  Back in 94 when I was there this was the coolest place for dinner, sand is the floor both inside and out. Too cool. Met a couple of girls there and had dinner, Lobster, lobster and more lobster…. very good Lobster 

Rasta Pasta

Rasta Pasta, Caye Caulker

 9 Reviews  Fantastic. Those reviewers who said the floor was sand must have been smoking a little too much of the local stuff. The restaurant is very comfortable with outdoor and indoor seating. The bartender, Steve, and the owner, Shanti, are awesome. They make their own ginger beer which you can get mixed... 

Nightlife  

II Bar

II Bar, Caye Caulker

 5 Reviews  On an island that isn't particularly known for its nightlife, the I&I Reggae Bar is a good option for those who are looking for something to do once the sun comes down - or even as the sun is coming down, since you can watch the sunset from the rooftop terrace. The view is not exactly the best on... 

Lazy Lizard

Lazy Lizard, Caye Caulker

 3 Reviews  This is the major chill zone in Caye Caulker. You can sip your beer or whatever while tanning or snorkeling next to the bar. A few tables are placed in the water, but don't worry, the water is not deep enough for you to drown in - if your drunk body gives out:) Food is also ok. No shoes, no shirt,... 

Transportation  

Water Taxi

Water Taxi, Caye Caulker

 13 Reviews  To/From Belize City to Caye Calker/San Pedro- take the Caye Calker Water Taxi; it's more comfortable, and I believe they stole my iPod out of my bag on the other, more uncomfortable San Pedro Belize Express Water Taxi. 

Golf Cart

Golf Cart, Caye Caulker

 9 Reviews  .GOLF CART ..as of today, March 2009 - the rates at M&M's are 10.00 USD for 1 HR 65.00 USD for the whole day. I can't imagine why you'd want one for the whole day, unless you have a lot of stuff?! You can see the whole island is 1-2hrs.... 

Flying

Flying, Caye Caulker

 7 Reviews  At the moment, pretty much the only way one can fly to Belize is to catch a connection in the US. By 2015, the Philip S.W. Goldson International Airport should be able to accommodate flights from Europe but currently, most people who fly to Belize do so by traveling with American Airlines (with... 

Local Customs  

Barefoot

Barefoot, Caye Caulker

 1 Review  I saw "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Problem" signs at several places around town. Life truly is laid back here - I know I keep using this phrase, but I can't think of a better way to describe it. People are just not uptight about anything, and it's wonderful. You can go barefoot everywhere here, including... 

What to Pack  

Sunscreen

Sunscreen, Caye Caulker

 5 Reviews  Mosquito repellent is a must here!!!Mosquitos will come and get you if you do not wear it at night!! A must, must No fancy clothing here.. just swimsuit/sandles/shorts/tank tops Any and all medical supplies you might think you need. They do have it here on the island but it would be a lot cheaper... 

Underwater Cameras

Underwater Cameras, Caye Caulker

 1 Review  If you don't have a camera or videocamera that you can use under water, you should concider buying an Aquapac or something similar. It's a waterproof "pocket" where you can put your camera and take pictures down to 2 metres under water. There is so much to see in the sea here, so you should really... 

Sports & Outdoors  

Basketball

Basketball, Caye Caulker

 2 Reviews  I played some basketball on the crappy court with the bent rims. It was great. I played in my Tevas, but most of the locals played barefoot. They play hard and have smiles on their faces as they do it. None of the attitude that American players have. 

Favorites  

The Split

The Split, Caye Caulker

 4 Reviews  This would be the place to go if you’re really interested in the local flora. The Caye Caulker Belize Tourism Industry Association’s Mini-Reserve has a few interpretive trails with signs telling you what all the native trees and plants are. There’s also a resource center, but this was closed when we... 

Snorkeling

Snorkeling, Caye Caulker

 3 Reviews  Don't leave Caye Caulker without a snorkeling trip, either all day or half day. My other advice is take a kayak around the island. I mean, paddle it yourself. It's a lot of work but great fun. Snorkeling near the reef off Caye Caulker wasn't quite as spectacular as around Gladden Spit where I went...
