Take a boat trip 14 miles (22.5 km) southeast of Ambergris Caye. You’ll stop at Caye Caulker, which is a small island with a classic Caribbean vibe, where the locals are mostly Garífuna and Rastafarian.

First, you’ll stop at the Hol Chan Marine Reserve, which is part of the Belize Barrier Reef system. At Hol Chan, you’ll have an exciting experience swimming with nurse sharks, a non-aggressive species. Around the reefs you can expect to see grouper, barracuda, yellow jack, and even green morays.

When you stop at Caye Caulker, you’ll get to wander the streets to explore the local cafes and gift shops. As you stroll you’ll hear reggae music and meet friendly locals. Grab a bite to eat before you climb back aboard and begin the trip home.

Sunglasses, sunscreen, hat, camera, and money for souvenirs and personal expenses.
