About Caye Caulker

Caye Caulker is a tiny coral island off the coast of Belize, whose unofficial motto "Go Slow" perfectly describes the way of life here. There are no cars, no hustle, and no high-rises - just sandy streets, colorful wooden houses, reggae music, and the second largest barrier reef in the world right at your doorstep. German travelers often discover Caye Caulker as a relaxed counterpoint to the Maya ruins inland and tend to stay longer than planned. The famous "Split" - a natural gap in the island created by a hurricane - is the most popular meeting point for swimming, sunbathing, and watching rays and manatees. From here, daily snorkeling and diving trips depart to the spectacular Belize Barrier Reef and the legendary Blue Hole.
