The Caribbean Sea is more than just a picturesque background when you visit Caye Caulker; it’s your playground. On the North Side at El Ben Cabañas, you can’t get much closer to the ocean than you’ll be while sitting on its secluded shores.
If you want to get your morning exercise in the form of a paddle, or you want to dive in for action along the world’s second-largest barrier reef, here’s how.
Paddleboarding & Kayaking on the Mangroves
There’s no need for a boat motor to explore the pristine coastline. Pick one of our complimentary kayaks or stand-up paddleboards and paddle around the calm, clear waters that circle North Caye Caulker. Mangrove estuaries nearby are nurseries where marine life grows. Look for wading coastal birds, young rays, and baby nurse sharks just below your board.
Snorkeling the Marine Reserve
Belize’s abundant marine life is a must-see on any island visit. Embark on a guided snorkeling trip from the pier to the Hol Chan Marine Reserve. Enjoy a swim with the sea turtles, eagle rays and friendly nurse sharks in Shark Ray Alley, amidst colorful coral formations.
Sunset Sailing & Reef Cruises
What better way to relax after a long day on the water than with a classic Caye Caulker sunset on the deck of a sailboat? Breathe in the sea breeze as you cruise down the reef, enjoying a refreshing drink while witnessing the gorgeous pink and orange hues of the sunset.
All set to splash into the water?
You can enjoy your island experience from the moment you step out of your cabaña door, in tranquil shallows or in the deep blue waters. Pack some reef safe sun cream, the water waits!
