Caye Caulker Travel Blogs

  When we woke up the next morning we saw a blue sky - hadn't seen much of that since our first day in Chetumal really. Unfortunately the blue skies would not last. Before we had completed the payment of the snorkelling tour the sky was overcast already. We decided to go on the tour an…

Caye Caulker is a dreamy little island about 45 minutes water taxi from the mainland, Belize. Main street permits no cars, just golf carts and bikes (and lots of pedestrians and dogs). When I went to Belize in late April/early May 2007, I had grand intentions of seeing Mayan ruins and maybe even tr…

Our last day full day in Central America was spent doing nothing -- no buses, no traveling, no searching, no activities, no sites -- nothing but eating, walking around and taking a dip in the ocean. Yes, all this rest made me a little uncomfortable. It also gave me a chance to take advantage …

I definitively have to write about this trip. What a tour! I went with my brother, he wanted to see El Salvador & Honduras & I Guatemala & Mexico/Yucatan & both Belize! I never had that many warnings for a trip ever! Don't do this don't do that!

At 9am went to Ragamuffin Tours to get our snorkels and flippers fitted. Afterwards had a majorly crappy and rip-off breakfast at the Tribal bar across the road. At about 11am we finally set sail on our red yacht the 'Raga King'. They had overbooked so unfortunately Sammy didn't get to go, as he wa…

Into The Cayes Belize is rightly famous for a group of small islands attached to an enormous barrier reef.  The islands are called Cayes and are very nice thank you very much.  I eventually went to the cheap one called Caye Caulker after the boat broke in Belize City harbour and very nic…

Wow! Caye Caulker is amazing. It is the most chilled out place that I have ever been. The island is tiny - it only takes about 10 minutes to walk from one end to the other. The 'roads' (of which there only seem to be about 2) are all sand, and there are no cars here. People drive old golf buggies a…

This was suppose to be on our way back from Guatemala, a visit in Belize. But when we were ready to leave Tulum to go to Palenque, we were informed that the busses were full for the next 2 days. Being so early into our trip I didn't want to wait around and waste 2 days waiting. Those days may come …

We are in Caye Caulker, a lovely island off the coast of Belize.  We went snorkeling yesterday on a sailboat tour.  3 stops, including the Hol-Chan Marine Reserve (where we saw a loggerhead turtle and a green moray eel), and Shark & Ray Alley and Coral Gardens. It was a lot of fun, an…

Unfortunately I was only able to spend 4 days in Belize but it was awesome. I'm also limited to talking about Belize City and Caye Caulker as they are the only 2 places I've seen first hand.  To put it simply and efficiently Belize City sucks. Everyone says stay out, there is crime etc. I was …

Fri 24 Oct 2008 Tanya and I decided to go to Caye Caulker for the weekend. Mostly everyone was against the idea due to the flooding. Getting to Belize City may be difficult we agreed, but out in the cayes the weather was beautiful.  Carmita was especially concerned. Before we left, w…

A small island off the cost about 45 minutes in a boat from Belize, City Caye Caulker is nothing like its more populated bigger cousin. It has a relaxed atmosphere.with sublime beaches. Locals get around on bikes and golf carts. There are no motor vehicles on the island which is strange at first bu…

This was a five week trip through parts of Central America. I spent most of my time in Guatemala. I had a loose plan that included Antigua, Tikal, El Mirador, islands in Belize and Copan in Honduras.

We got up early (probably out of scuba habit). We walked around the island, did a little shopping...postcards, and a long sleeved shirt to cover my sunburn! My favorite kind of souvenir is jewelry - it's generally compact and easy to add to my pack (or I just wear it!) If created by local artisans,…

Awoke to another rainy morning. Bah! The hotel has postponed our Hol Chan reef tour again. We have spent the day reading Sue Grafton novels, first in our rooms then outside at the end of the pier once it stopped raining. My tan is darkening. We did breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the same place -…
