However, traveling this route involves more than just a straight-line distance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, the journey includes a combination of road and ferry travel, as well as a border crossing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cancun-to-caye-caulker-travel-time\">Cancun To Caye Caulker Travel Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The total travel time from Cancun to Caye Caulker can vary significantly based on your mode of transportation and the specific connections you choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, to give a general idea, the fastest overland method will still take you between 8 to 10 hours to make this journey with minimal delays. Therefore make sure to set aside an entire day for travel and don&#8217;t make any other plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Personally, this journey took me nearly 12 hours using public transport. However, this can be quicker using taxis or taking the ferry from Chetumal, which will decrease the amount of transport changes you will need to do.<\/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\/2024\/05\/cancun-to-caye-caulker-9-533x800.webp\" alt=\"A man walking down a wooden dock labeled &#039;Private Dock,&#039; carrying a cooler towards the turquoise waters of Caye Caulker.

However, it&#8217;s important to note that there are no direct flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first leg of your journey will be flying from Cancun International Airport to Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport in Belize City. This flight generally takes about 1 to 1.5 hours and is operated by Tropic Air. Prices for a one-way ticket typically range from $250.00 to $300.00 for economy class, so it&#8217;s not cheap. They do occasionally have sales, so keep an eye out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once in Belize City, you have a couple of options: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Domestic Flight<\/strong>: You can continue by air with a short domestic flight from Belize City to Caye Caulker. Local airlines like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tropicair.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tropic Air <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayaislandair.com\/belize-city-flights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Maya Island Air<\/a> offer frequent flights to Caye Caulker, typically taking about 10 to 20 minutes. This is by far the quickest way to reach the island from Belize City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Water Taxi<\/strong>: Alternatively, if you prefer a more scenic route, you can take a taxi from the airport to the water taxi terminal and catch a boat to Caye Caulker. The water taxi ride takes about 45 minutes and provides a refreshing experience traveling across the Caribbean Sea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Combining the international and domestic flights, the total air travel time from Cancun to Caye Caulker, excluding layovers and transfer times, can be around 2 to 3 hours. Including layover time at Belize City Airport, you should plan for at least half a day of travel. Therefore, flying can significantly reduce your travel time compared to road and sea routes if timed well, offering more time to enjoy the beautiful destination of Caye Caulker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/cancun-to-caye-caulker-8-600x800.webp\" alt=\"Aerial view from a plane window showcasing the turquoise waters and sandy coastline when flying out of cancun\" class=\"wp-image-73011\" style=\"width:417px;height:auto\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/cancun-to-caye-caulker-8-600x800.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/cancun-to-caye-caulker-8-300x400.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/cancun-to-caye-caulker-8-768x1024.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/cancun-to-caye-caulker-8.webp 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">flying out of cancun in mexico<\/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=\"bus-from-cancun-to-caye-caulker\">Bus From Cancun To Caye Caulker<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Traveling from Cancun to Caye Caulker by bus and ferry is one of the most economical and adventurous ways to make the journey. This option involves multiple stages, primarily bus travel to Chetumal or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/caye-caulker-to-belize-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"128\">Belize City followed by a ferry to Caye Caulker<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of timing you will be best off traveling Cancun to Chetumal and then taking a ferry to Caye Caulker as this route you can do within 1 day. Traveling via Belize City means you will need to spend overnight there before heading to the islands. <\/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=\"600\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/cancun-to-caye-caulker-6-600x800.webp\" alt=\"A passenger&#039;s view inside a bus traveling from Cancun to Caye Caulker.

The bus ride takes approximately 5 to 6 hours, depending on traffic and road conditions. Prices for a one-way ticket range from $25 to $40 USD, with variations depending on the class of service and the time of booking. There are numerous departures daily so you will have no issue planning the timing correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, you can also take a bus from Cancun to Belize City, which will be quite a long travel day, but it is a direct service where you will also get assistance crossing the border. This option offers a budget-friendly solution, allowing you to travel between the two destinations for just $70.00, and with a travel time of approximately 10 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ado.com.mx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ADO is one of the major bus companies<\/a> offering comfortable, reliable service on this route. They provide first-class and deluxe options, which include amenities such as air conditioning, reclining seats, and onboard entertainment.

Typically they charge a fixed rate of 200 MXN \/ $12.00 so if you are traveling solo try find some other people heading the same way to share the car with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>San Pedro Belize Express Water Taxi operates one departure a day from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/chetumal-to-caye-caulker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"250\">Chetumal to Caye Caulker<\/a>. This departs at 3.30 pm and arrives in Caye Caulker at 5.45 pm, costing $77.00. Check in opens 1 hour beforehand and you will also need to go through immigration here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As there are numerous departures daily from Cancun to Chetumal I recommend booking a bus that arrives between 12 pm and 2 pm. This way you can have lunch when you arrive and ensure all documents are prepared to cross the border. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>From Belize City:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, if you plan to take the water taxi after the bus from Cancun you will need to spend the night in Belize City as the last ferry departs at 5.30 pm whereas the bus arrives at the terminal at 5.25 pm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The San Pedro Belize Express offers several departures throughout the day from the Marine Terminal located in Belize City. This journey from Belize City to Caye Caulker typically takes 45 minutes to an hour and costs $25.00 for a one-way ticket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1133\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/cancun-to-caye-caulker-3-1133x800.webp\" alt=\"Aerial view from a boat deck showing the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea surrounding Caye Caulker, Belize.

However, you can use a taxi for certain parts of the journey to streamline your journey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just be aware this is expensive and honestly, I simply recommend taking the bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;The first leg involves taking a taxi from Cancun to Chetumal. This is quite a long distance for a taxi ride, covering approximately 380 kilometers. The drive can take around 5 to 6 hours, depending on traffic conditions. Hiring a taxi for this long-distance trip can be expensive, potentially costing upwards of $200 to $300 USD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From Chetumal, I recommend taking the ferry directly to Caye Caulker. San Pedro Belize Express Water Taxi operates one departure a day at 3.30 pm and arrives in Caye Caulker at 5.45 pm, costing $77.00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"shared-shuttle-from-cancun-to-caye-caulker\">Shared Shuttle From Cancun To Caye Caulker<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately at this stage, I don&#8217;t know of any shared shuttle options from Cancun to Caye Caulker. I think this is for the best anyway, as even the one I know of from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/travel-bacalar-to-belize-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"129\">Bacalar to Belize City<\/a> isn&#8217;t the best and is quite pricey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once again if you are keen to travel overland I recommend taking the bus to Chetumal and from there taking the ferry to Caye Caulker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"crossing-the-land-border-from-mexico-to-belize\">Crossing The Land Border From Mexico To Belize<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When traveling from Cancun to Caye Caulker via land, crossing the border between Mexico and Belize is a key part of the journey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The land border crossing is located at Subteniente L\u00f3pez, near Chetumal, Quintana Roo and the entry point into Belize is Santa Elena, Corozal District. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Documents Required for Crossing<\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Passport<\/strong>: A valid passport with at least six months of validity remaining. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tourist Card (FMM)<\/strong>: If you&#8217;ve been in Mexico for more than 7 days, you will need to present your FMM (Forma Migratoria M\u00faltiple). Ensure you have a physical copy of your airline receipt showing the FMM fee payment if applicable. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Visa<\/strong>: Depending on your nationality, you may need a visa to enter Belize. Most travelers from the U.S., Canada, the EU, and the Commonwealth nations can enter Belize visa-free for up to 30 days.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When arriving in Mexico a departure fee is often included in your flight ticket or bus fare. If not, you may be charged around 558 MXN \/ $30.00. Keep a copy of your ticket or receipt as proof. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no fee for entering Belize, but an exit fee is required when departing Belize (usually around $20 USD). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Border facilities are typically open from 6 AM to 10 PM, but schedules may vary. I recommend you try to cross during daylight hours for safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/cancun-to-caye-caulker-2.webp\" alt=\"A stunning aerial view from a plane window revealing the vibrant turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea surrounding the coastline of Caye Caulker, Belize.

However, if your stay in Mexico exceeds 7 days, you&#8217;re required to have a tourist permit known as an FMM. This fee is typically included in your plane ticket or collected upon your entry via a land border. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, certain border officials may attempt to levy this fee again upon departure, exploiting the possibility that travelers may lack evidence of previous payment. Additionally, some transportation companies may participate in this practice, charging each passenger 1,136 MXN \/ $56.00. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To circumvent these complications, it is advisable to bring a hard copy of your airline receipt that clearly indicates the FMM fee has been paid. While digital proof might be dismissed, a physical copy provides a more reliable safeguard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I used this method myself and the border official quickly waived the fee when I showed them my airline receipt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"caye-caulker-travel-tips\">Caye Caulker Travel Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you know how exactly to get to Caye Caulker let&#8217;s find out some things you may want to know during your adventures in this island paradise.<\/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 small island, so finding a good place to stay shouldn\u2019t be a problem. Getting around is easy too, most people either walk or cycle, so location isn&#8217;t a huge concern. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I stayed at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/bz\/bella-39-s-backpackers-caye-caulker.en-gb.html?aid=1197179&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Bella&#8217;s Backpackers<\/a> during my time on the island and had a fantastic experience. It\u2019s one of the few <a href=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/hostels-in-caye-caulker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"130\">hostels on Caye Caulker<\/a> and has upgraded since my last visit, adding air conditioning to more dorm rooms (which is much needed in the tropical climate). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Bella&#8217;s has mixed reviews online, I believe that\u2019s largely due to travelers unfamiliar with hostel life who book purely for the price. Hostels generally have basic facilities, which can affect ratings. Despite that, the vibe was great, I made loads of friends, and it was perfect for what I needed. That said, the showers are in a separate building, some windows lack curtains, and the &#8220;blanket&#8221; is basically a sheet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for something a bit nicer, it&#8217;s worth spending a little more for a stay you&#8217;ll truly enjoy.<\/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 marine life is incredible, and the clear waters make it easy to admire the underwater beauty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Swim with Manatees: One of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/things-to-do-in-caye-caulker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"224\">coolest things you can do in Caye Caulker<\/a> is swim with manatees.

Book a tour with a local operator to get up close and personal with these curious creatures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Watch the Sunset and Dance at Reggae Bars:<\/strong> Caye Caulker has a vibrant nightlife, especially on weekends. Catch a stunning sunset at the Split, Iguana Reef Inn, or the Caye Caulker Water Taxi dock. Or hop on a sunset cruise with drinks, snacks, and music.

Expect live music, DJs, karaoke, fire shows, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Feed Stingrays at Iguana Reef Inn:<\/strong> Every evening around 5 p.m., the staff at Iguana Reef Inn feed the stingrays that gather at their private beach and pier.
