Caye Caulker Tours and Tickets

Visitors usually spend at least three days in Caye Caulker for a quick visit to the island. If you want time to relax and enjoy activities, such as visiting the Great Blue Hole or Hol Chan Marine Reserve, without feeling rushed, it’s better to spend a week in Caye Caulker.

For good dry weather, the best time to visit Caye Caulker is during the dry season from late November to mid-April. However, if you're looking to save money, and don't mind a bit of humidity (or want to avoid visiting the island at its busiest), go during May or November.

Although Caye Caulker is relatively affordable compared to other Caribbean-Island destinations, it’s one of Belize's most expensive places to visit. Your budget depends on how many tours and activities you do, as well as what type of accommodation you stay in, but it is possible to have a budget-friendly visit.

Yes, you can swim at Caye Caulker—the most popular places to swim are the white-sand beaches around The Split and the calm waters on the island's western side. Hazards to be mindful of include boats in the area and the current through the middle of The Split.

Yes, there are mosquitoes on Caye Caulker, just as there are in many places in the Caribbean. Mosquitoes are much more common during Belize's wet season from June to November, so it's a good idea to bring and use insect repellent to avoid getting insect-borne diseases from being bitten.

Yes, you’ll need cash in Caye Caulker as credit cards are not widely accepted on the island. When you need cash, there are several ATMs in Caye Caulker Village where you can withdraw Belizean dollars. You’ll also find some local businesses do accept US dollars if need be.
