I am planning a trip to Belize and was interested in seeing the southern cayes as well as the northern ones. Is there an easy way to get from Tobacco to Caulker? Can I take boat? If not, which caye is "better." I know that is a loaded question but I'm looking for a relaxing time, snorkeling, and just laying around on a beach. I heard Caulker does not have beaches - is this true and if so where do you lounge around when you aren’t snorkeling and stuff?

Another question I have is whether it is worth it to go to the Blue Hole just to snorkel or if there are better areas to hit? How much would it cost?

Thank you!

The Blue Hole is not great for snorkeling it's primarily for divers.

Hol Chan, Goff Island and Shark Ray Alley are better snorkeling areas.

Easiest way to get from Tobacco Caye to Caulker is a boat from TC to Dangriga, then fly to the municipal airport in Belize City, then on to Caulker. Sounds like a hassle, but it's really pretty easy and not all that expensive. Another option is taking the water taxi from Belize City to Caulker.

I spent three nights on Tobacco Caye a couple years ago. It was fun and I wouldn't mind going back, but three days was plenty. The entire island is only about five acres, no where to wander.

There's sea front to lounge around on on Caulker, just not good swimming from shore. You can swim at the split, pretty water and some sand, also a fun bar.

BH is an incredible snorkel and great opportunity to see the atolls,
