    Caye Caulker

    Jan 30–Feb 6, 2024 in Belize ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    So after another night and day of travelling we have arrived in Caye (pronounced Key) Caulker. This is an island about an hour ferry ride from Belize City. The vibe is very relaxed and Caribbean and the moto is go slow.

    After quite a lot of moving about it feels very luxurious to have a place to stay for 7 nights, our longest in one place so far.

    Some initial impressions that we love are that the coast has been protected and not built on so we can access it all which creates a lovely island atmosphere. The people are very relaxed and chilled. The marine life is literally all around with pelicans and frigate birds in the air and rays and huge tarpon fish visible from the pontoons.

    We are here to dive and have booked 3 days of diving but we will do snorkelling and some other water based activities the other days.    Read more
