This Is What's Special & Why Visit Caye Caulker Belize

Why Visit Caye Caulker Belize?

Well, in short – Caye Caulker is unique!

But there’s more…

La Isla Carinosa & Live Music

Caye Caulker is also known as "La Isla Carinosa"

Everybody has at least one nickname here in Belize. So do our Cayes. Just like our big sister Ambergris Caye is called “La Isla Bonita” (yes, that’s what Madonna sang about back in the 80ies!), we are known as “La Isla Carinosa”.

We might not have Madonna writing a song about us, but we have great musicians on the island! That’s another reason why to visit Caye Caulker Belize!

We have Andrew Kingston, a super-talented guitar-player and song-writer.  We have Gregory Michael, who has an endless repertoire on songs. You name it – he plays it.  When you visit us in Caye Caulker go to one of his events and ask him to play his version of Gringo In Belize for you!

Check out the Caye Caulker Events Calendar to find out where the live music is!

Why Visit Caye Caulker Belize? It's A Small, Very Laid Back Island!

Caye Caulker Is A Small, Very Laid Back Island

Two more reasons why visit Caye Caulker Belize –

It’s a small island and you can easily get around by walking. It’s highly unlikely that you will get lost – we only have three main streets. Front Street, Middle Street, and – you guessed it – Back Street. As you get closer to The Split, the island is so narrow that there’s only Front Street left and you can see the Caribbean Sea on both sides.

No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem! Our streets are sandy and you can go everywhere without shoes. Even though we have a very relaxed dress code, topless suntanning is not allowed – sorry, ladies!

If you're not convinced by now, here's more...

Experiences & Tours

Caye Caulker is a great base for EXPERIENCES & TOURS. 

We are home to the largest barrier reef in the Northern Hemisphere and three of four coral atolls in the Western Hemisphere!  The water at the reef is some of the best in the world, warm year around with plenty of marine life to take in including corals, sharks, turtles and stingrays.

In addition we have diving sites for divers of all levels, from masters to absolute beginners who would like to obtain their certification. Talk to one of our professional SCUBA DIVING tour companies!

Not a scuba diver? No problem, book a snorkeling tour! Snorkeling the crystal clear waters is a beautiful experience! You don’t have to worry if you’ve never snorkeled before. The SNORKELING tour guides will take good care of you!

Mainland Tours

As alternative to boat tours, you can easily take a day trip to the mainland and visit one of several Mayan ruins, go to the Belize Zoo, hiking, horseback riding, cave tubing, or zip lining.

Belize is a small country and you’ll be back on the island before dinner!
