I also went <a href=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/diving-in-ambergris-caye-belize\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">diving in Ambergris Caye<\/a> quite a bit which is a whole other level of amazing.

The water temperature in Caye Caulker ranges from 26\u00b0C to 29\u00b0C throughout the year, which was perfect for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The water visibility is also excellent, ranging from 15 to 40 meters depending on the weather and tide conditions. You will be able to see the reef and its inhabitants in vivid colors and details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These Caye Caulker snorkeling tours are led by local experts who know the best spots and can tell you interesting facts about the reef and its inhabitants.

Here are some rules to follow when snorkeling:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Always listen to your guide<\/strong>. Your guide is a professional who knows the best spots to snorkel, how to avoid dangerous currents, and how to interact with the wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They will also explain the rules and regulations of the marine reserve and how to protect it. Follow their instructions and do not wander off on your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do not touch or feed the animals<\/strong>. The marine reserve is home to many creatures, such as nurse sharks, stingrays, turtles, manatees, and more. They are wild animals and should be observed from a safe distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not touch, feed, or harass them in any way. This could harm them or provoke them to attack you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do not stand on or break the coral<\/strong>. The coral reef is a fragile ecosystem that provides shelter and food for many fish and other organisms. It is also very sensitive to changes in temperature, pollution, and human activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not stand on or break the coral with your fins, hands, or snorkel gear. This could damage or kill the coral and affect the whole reef.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Use reef-safe sunscreen<\/strong>. Sunscreen is essential to protect your skin from the sun\u2019s harmful rays, but some sunscreens contain chemicals that can harm coral and marine life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use a reef-safe sunscreen that does not contain oxybenzone, octinoxate, or other harmful ingredients. Apply it at least 15 minutes before entering the water and reapply as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"568\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-17.webp\" alt=\"the ticket booth for hol chan marine reserve floating in the open water\" class=\"wp-image-29441\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-17.webp 568w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-17-284x400.webp 284w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 568px) 100vw, 568px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">the ticket booth for hol chan marine reserve floating in the open water<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-5-533x800.webp\" alt=\"touring the other side of caye caulker among the mangroves\" class=\"wp-image-29429\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-5-533x800.webp 533w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-5-267x400.webp 267w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-5-768x1152.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-5.webp 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">touring the other side of caye caulker among the mangroves<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1067\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-15-1067x800.webp\" alt=\"incredible colors of fan coral and a friendly parrot fish while snorkeling from caye caulker\" class=\"wp-image-29439\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-15-1067x800.webp 1067w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-15-533x400.webp 533w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-15-768x576.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-15.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1067px) 100vw, 1067px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">incredible colors of fan coral and a friendly parrot fish <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<div data-gyg-widget=\"auto\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"66O8EST\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:36px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background has-medium-font-size\" style=\"background-color:#ffa03b7a\">\ud83d\ude97 <strong>How I Book Ferries &amp; Shuttles In Belize: <a href=\"https:\/\/shareasale.com\/r.cfm?b=2271907&amp;u=3504536&amp;m=137533&amp;urllink=gottogo%2Eco%2FBelize%2FBelize%5FCity%2Dto%2DCaye%5FAmbergris%2Findex%2Ephp%3Futm%5Fsource%3DBackPackersWanderlust%26utm%5Fmedium%3DLink%26utm%5Fcampaign%3DBelize%2DCity%5Fto%5FCaye%2DAmbergris%26utm%5Fterm%3DFrom%5FBelize%2DCity%5Fto%5FCaye%2DAmbergris%26utm%5Fcontent%3DEn&amp;afftrack=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">GuateGo<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"my-experience-on-a-caye-caulker-snorkeling-tour\">My Experience On A Caye Caulker Snorkeling Tour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Honestly, I decided to do a Caye Caulker snorkeling tour just two days after my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/snorkeling-tours-from-san-pedro-belize\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Pedro Snorkeling Tour<\/a> as it was just so incredible! Seriously it was the best snorkeling I had ever done, so when I quickly made friends who were going on a snorkeling tour I also had to join.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following day we grabbed a couple of fry jacks for breakfast and wandered on down to our meeting point. An unassuming snorkeling shop awaited where a gentleman who would be our guide quickly greeted us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We geared up with our flippers and masks and headed over to the wharf where a boat was ready to go. There was my friend and I, and another group of people who were visiting from Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first stop was Hol Chan Marine Reserve, though we had to get there first, and on the way, we would stop and look for manatees. Occasionally throughout the journey, we would turn off the motors and just watch the waters waiting for one to surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, no luck, so on to the marine reserve. Plunging into the crystal clear water we quickly spot a turtle while the rest of the group jumps in as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We then all go for a snorkel exploring the reef, spotting many fish, and even a couple of nurse sharks. This place to pure magic, and when we got back to the boat we all agreed this is the best snorkeling spot we had ever been to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We then take a short boat trip over to Shark Ray Alley where we plunge in again. However, this time we are surrounded by nurse sharks and sting rays. We hang out with them until they lose interest and head over the another boat that is throwing food in the water to bait them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back on board the boat we head over to Coral Gardens, which is a lot closer to Caye Caulker. Again, we stop, look for manatees, but no luck so we jump in anyway prepared to snorkel the reef.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However when I jumped in, immediately I noticed an outline of a huge creature, <strong>a manatee<\/strong>! I alert the rest of the group, and soon enough 2 other manatees show up, for 3 in total! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are just these large, round, chill creatures and we are lucky enough to spend an hour swimming alongside them. No doubt this is the highlight of a snorkeling tour from Caye Caulker, but be aware not everyone finds them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, as we found the manatees, and hit up all the snorkeling spots relatively fast the driver took us for a bit of a tour around Caye Caulker. We head to the other side where <strong>dolphins play around the boat<\/strong> wake, look for a <strong>resident crocodile, feed the enormous tarpons, and even spot numerous jellyfish<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No doubt we got our money&#8217;s worth, being able to experience absolutely everything on offer and relatively easy with minimal searching. For sure it is 100% worth doing a Caye Caulker snorkeling tour!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-6-533x800.webp\" alt=\"people on a boat in search of the local crocodile in caye caulker\" class=\"wp-image-29430\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-6-533x800.webp 533w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-6-267x400.webp 267w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-6-768x1152.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-6.webp 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> in search of the local crocodile in caye caulker<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-8-533x800.webp\" alt=\"a local boat in caye caulker called archer\" class=\"wp-image-29432\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-8-533x800.webp 533w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-8-267x400.webp 267w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-8-768x1152.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-8.webp 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">a local boat in caye caulker, dont worry the tour boats are a lot larger than this<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1067\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-2-1067x800.webp\" alt=\"tasha amy swimming with two manatees in belize\" class=\"wp-image-29426\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-2-1067x800.webp 1067w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-2-533x400.webp 533w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-2-768x576.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-2.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1067px) 100vw, 1067px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">swimming with manatees, no doubt a highlight of our caye caulker snorkeling tour<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-4.webp\" alt=\"hanging on the front of the boat following a pod of dolphins at caye caulker\" class=\"wp-image-29428\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-4.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-4-600x400.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-4-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">hanging on the front of the boat following a pod of dolphins at caye caulker<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-to-pack-when-snorkeling\">What To Pack When Snorkeling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A Caye Caulker snorkeling tour is a great way to explore the amazing Belize Barrier Reef and see a variety of marine life. However, you need to pack some essential items to make your snorkeling experience comfortable and enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some suggestions on what to pack on a Caye Caulker snorkeling tour:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Snorkeling gear<\/strong>: If you don\u2019t have your own snorkeling gear, you can rent it from the tour company or buy it on the island. However, if you have your own gear, you may prefer to bring it with you for a better fit and quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sun protection<\/strong>: The sun can be very strong in Belize, especially when you are on the water. You need to protect yourself from sunburn and heatstroke by wearing sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and a cover-up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Swimwear and towel<\/strong>: You will need to wear a swimsuit or swim trunks for snorkeling, and you may want to bring a change of clothes for after the tour. You will also need a towel to dry off and wrap yourself in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Camera<\/strong>: If you want to capture the beauty of the underwater world, you may want to bring a waterproof camera or a GoPro. You may also want to bring a waterproof case or bag for your camera and other valuables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Money<\/strong>: You will need some cash or credit cards to pay for the tour, tips, souvenirs, snacks, and drinks.

There is also not much marine life or coral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to enjoy snorkeling in Caye Caulker is to join a boat tour that will take you to the most spectacular spots in the reef, such as Hol Chan Marine Reserve, Shark Ray Alley, and Coral Gardens<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t want to do a snorkeling tour you can still experience the local marine life landside by visiting Iguana Reef Inn. Every evening around 5 p.m., the hotel staff feed the stingrays that gather near the shore, and you can join them for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1067\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-12-1067x800.webp\" alt=\"an incredible eagle ray while snorkeling hol chan marine reserve\" class=\"wp-image-29436\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;width:840px;height:auto\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-12-1067x800.webp 1067w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-12-533x400.webp 533w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-12-768x576.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/snorkeling-tour-caye-caulker-12.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1067px) 100vw, 1067px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">an incredible eagle ray while snorkeling hol chan marine reserve<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<div data-gyg-widget=\"auto\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"66O8EST\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:36px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background has-medium-font-size\" style=\"background-color:#ffa03b7a\">\ud83d\ude97 <strong>How I Book Ferries &amp; Shuttles In Belize: <a href=\"https:\/\/shareasale.com\/r.cfm?b=2271907&amp;u=3504536&amp;m=137533&amp;urllink=gottogo%2Eco%2FBelize%2FBelize%5FCity%2Dto%2DCaye%5FAmbergris%2Findex%2Ephp%3Futm%5Fsource%3DBackPackersWanderlust%26utm%5Fmedium%3DLink%26utm%5Fcampaign%3DBelize%2DCity%5Fto%5FCaye%2DAmbergris%26utm%5Fterm%3DFrom%5FBelize%2DCity%5Fto%5FCaye%2DAmbergris%26utm%5Fcontent%3DEn&amp;afftrack=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">GuateGo<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"where-to-stay-in-caye-caulker\">Where To Stay In Caye Caulker<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Caye Caulker is a pretty small island so you should have no problem staying in a decent location.

The showers are in a separate building, not all windows have curtains, and your blanket is just a sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<table class=\"aligncenter\" width=\"700\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"350\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5705\" src=\"https:\/\/a.hwstatic.com\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto,w_1024,e_sharpen,e_improve,e_vibrance:60\/v1\/propertyimages\/9\/91290\/fkwxmk2w2xgjfqk5abph\" alt=\"bellas backpackers\" width=\"350\" height=\"234\" title=\"\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hostelworld.prf.hn\/click\/camref:1011l48eQ\/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hostelworld.com%2Fpwa%2Fwds%2Fhosteldetails.php%2FBella-s-Backpackers%2FCaye-Caulker%2F91290\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><b>Bellas Backpackers Caye Caulker<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The most popular hostel on the islands.

The Belize Barrier Reef, which is the second-largest coral reef system in the world, is located just off the coast of Caye Caulker. There are many snorkeling tours available that will take you to the best spots to see the marine life.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1700597849505\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">How much does it cost to snorkel in Caye Caulker?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Most full-day snorkel tours cost around $90.00 (180 Belize Dollars), and half-day snorkeling tours cost around $50.00 (100 Belize Dollars). <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1700597858903\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What is the best season to snorkel in Belize?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Belize is a great destination for snorkeling, and you can enjoy it year-round. However, the best time to snorkel in Belize is during the dry season from December through May. During this time, the weather is mild, and the water temperature and visibility are excellent.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1700597875178\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Do you need a wetsuit to snorkel in Belize?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The water temperature in Belize is generally warm and comfortable for snorkeling, ranging from 26\u00b0C to 29\u00b0C (78\u00b0F to 84\u00b0F). Therefore, a wetsuit is not necessary for snorkeling in Belize. However, if you are sensitive to cold or plan to spend an extended amount of time in the water, you may consider wearing a rash shirt, which also doubles up as protection from sunburn.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1700597892198\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Can you swim off Caye Caulker?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>There is a public beach at the north end of the island, at the Lazy Lizard. The water is very clear and free of seagrass. However, there is very little beach on Caye Caulker, and most swimming is done at the split.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1700597901866\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Are there crocodiles in Caye Caulker?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes, there are crocodiles in Caye Caulker! They rarely attack, but in recent years this has happened multiple times. You are best off to not swim in mangrove areas and instead somewhere like the Split where it is known to be safer.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1700597982038\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Is Caye Caulker on the barrier reef?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Caye Caulker is a small coral island off the coast of Belize in the Caribbean Sea.
