We traveled to Belize City to get on the water taxi to go to Caye Cauker (a beautiful island!)
Caye Cauker is a small gorgeous island. There are no vehicles on the islands; except for golf carts or bikes to get you around. The population of Caye Cauker is about 1300 residents. The residents have traditionally made their living from the sea, specifically from lobsters and snapper that inhabit in warm waters. All the residents know each other and it wasn’t long until they knew Paula, Cait, and me. There are only 3 main streets on the island that run north to south.
The plan was to stay in Caye Cauker for two days and scuba dive. The island is known for its ideal base for diving adventures at the nearby reef. However, since we were all sick we didn’t get the chance. I was so stuffed up that I knew I would not be able to equalize.
Therefore, we signed up for Raggamuffin Tours which was a great snorkeling tour! Raggamuffin took us to three snorkeling stops where we saw sharks, sea turtles, mantel rays, and barrier reef. On the tour you could easily see the easygoing attitude, which is due in part to the thriving Rastafarian culture on the Caye, which pulses to a reggae beat (in which we took the tour guides CD and downloaded to my laptop!)
Paula and Cait said they could definitely have stayed for more than 2 days just to relax in hammocks and on the beach.
