10 Really Fun Things To Do On Caye Caulker, Belize

1.
BIKING Caye Caulker is so chill, the main mode of transportation is two feet.
The second mode of transportation, however, is two wheels, and the third is golf carts.
Rent a bike from one of several outfits on the island which do so, and go exploring.
Ride along the trails on the South of the island, and go check out South Point.
(South Point faces the neighboring island of Caye Chapel).
Let me know if you are able to find the little secluded beach.

GOLF CART INDEPENDENT TOURING Do you have a few hours to spare? Rent a golf cart from one of the golf cart rentals.
You can try C & N Golf Cart Rental and ask for Cindy or Nicolas.
Golf carts run US$12.
50 per hour, US$62.
50 from 8am - 9pm, and $87.
50 for 24 hours.
Carts can hold 2 - 4 persons.
Drive off of main street and go exploring through some of the back streets or the Western part of the island.
You might even spot some of the fishermen coming in with fresh catch.

BIRD WATCHING One of the most exciting things is that on Caye Caulker, you don't have to go looking for birds -- they come looking for YOU! But seriously, you don't need any special equipment, gear, or clothing to go bird watching.
Just stop at the Cayeboard Connections Internet and Bookshop and pick up a copy of a bird watching guide.
Then ride your bike or take a walk down to the South side of the island and see how many different varieties of birds you can spot.
Alternatively, you can stop in at Kokomo's near the water taxi docks to check if Shaquille or Harry are heading over to the Caye Caulker Forest Reserve on the North island.

SCUBA DIVING Are you a SCUBA diver or have you ever wanted to try it? Great! You couldn't have picked a better spot to do it.
With over 175 miles of reef along the Eastern seashore, Belize is blessed with some amazing diving.
Some of the local dive shops such as Frenchie's Diving, Belize Diving Services, Black Durgon, Big Fish Dive Shop, or Scuba Sensation offer half day Discover Scuba courses to the uninitiated.
You get into the water and dive on the very first day.
SCUBA courses are offered to anyone 10 years or older.
If you are a certified diver, there is a breathtaking array of dives that you can do.
Contact any of the dive shops for up-to-the-minute information as weather plays a big role in determining dive destinations.

SNORKELING Snorkeling is another one of those amazing underwater activities you can do at any age.
You do not even need to know how to swim.
As snorkeling involves passively observing the marine life, preferably from sea level, wearing a life jacket for buoyancy and safety is quite fine.
Shark and Ray Alley near the reef directly in front of the island is a great spot to learn to snorkel.
The water is usually calm, and the area is littered with a steady parade of sting rays, nurse sharks, and friendly fish.
Your friendly guide might even bring one for you to pet.
Snorkel shops such as Anwar Tours and Anda de Wata Tours offer almost daily trips at reasonable prices.

SAILING Sailing is one of the most enjoyable of past times.
It is literally paradise to float on top of crystal clear waters glistening like diamonds in the sun, while you breath in the delicious salt air, and enjoy the cool sea breeze caressing your skin.
When this is done at sunset, it is heavenly.
One of the premier sailing companies on Caye Caulker is Raggamuffin Tours.
With a fleet of over 5 sail boats, all handmade in Belize, they offer everything from an evening sunset sail to overnight sailing trips to the Placencia Peninsula.

FISHING Fishing is one of the staple activities on the island.
Truth be told, long before tourists started visiting this lovely island, it was a fishing village.
The fishing guides here are local, and have been doing this all their lives.
They know exactly where to find all those great catches.
One of our favorite fishing guides is Esley Usher.
Esley offers fishing tours for US$ 200 for a half day, and US$ 300 for a full day of either deep sea or reef fishing.

CANOEING If you into chilling and taking it easy, you might enjoy an afternoon of canoeing.
Make sure to check the weather and get a tour briefing before you head out.
Weather conditions can change quickly.
Canoeing on the lee side of the island is the most chill.
Venture into and around the mangroves to find some local species in their natural habitat.
When you get to the island, ask around for Allie.
Allie is a champion canoeist, having won countless trophies at the annual 200+ mile long La Ruta Maya canoe race.
