We booked water taxis through the Caye Caulker Water Taxi website. The page says arrangements can be made for pickup at the International Airport, but no details of how to reserve. Do we just look for a water taxi sign at the airport? thanks, sabby54

Wondering about details of the water taxi boats: How many water taxi companies are there? Size of engines,etc. Are there many repair shops there? Seriously considering moving there and need to know if work will be available...propeller repairs.

Hi, I am looking for a not-so-incredibly-expensive beach destination for a family of five, including a 16-year-old and two 11-year-olds. Caye Caulker in Belize sounds beautiful and inexpensive, but I can't seem to find any information on swimming. Everything is about snorkeling or diving. Are the beaches swim-friendly? My kids will want to be out in the water. Thanks.

Hi, I've been checking the weather in Belize City and it looks like it will be raining throughout most of next week (some kind of slow-moving cold front). Anyone in Caye Caulker right now? Has it been pouring all day? Will I still be able to snorkel? (someone posted a similar message earlier but since the weather is unpredictable, I just had to ask again). Keeping my fingers crossed, Chryselle

Hi! I was curious what the water and weather was like, and if there were any cool places on that end to lay in the sand and relax. Is it noisy by the airstrip? Everyone talks about The Split...does this mean that the other side of the island is not beautiful? I am going in January, any tips?

I´d like to find a friend I met in the island back in 91. His name is Philip Lewis. He was a local artist (painter). I still have a map of the island drawn by him. At the time is was the first map of CC. I know he went to Switzerland to show his paintings and ended up by getting married there. I lost track of him then. I wonder if he has gone back to CC or still lives in Winthertur. If anyone from CC knows him, please let me know. Tks Maria

Hello, I'll be in Belize in early March and would like to do some snorkeling. I've never snorkeled before, but I'm a decent swimmer. Are there excursions people go on or with guides or somewhere to rent equipment? Can you go straight from the beach or have to take a boat to the reef? Thanks :)

My friend and I are headed to Caye Caulker in July and we are wondering where to stay. Tree Tops sounds like a popular hotel.... does anyone know how far of a walk it is from Tree Tops in to town? If we went out at night, would we be able to walk back to the hotel? Any other hotel recommendations that are close to the main part of town? Thanks!!

I am heading to Belize in July of 2005. I done an extensive amount of research but nothing has really been able to tell me about the weather. Any first hand experience? (I'm kinda curious about the bugs as well, I'm not afraid of them... just curious!) I am an avid hiker and wondering if there are any hikes that must be undertaken. Also has any stayed at the Parrot Nest tree houses located outside of San Ignacio? One more quick question how long is advisable to spend in Caye Caulker. It sounds beautiful and relaxing, I'm just wondering if it can be a little too relaxing. Thank you. (This is only my second trip outside of Canada and I'm nervous/excited/naive, any tips are helpful!!)

I'd love to go, as my wife (who will not be coming) has been there once before, and recommended it. Thanks in advance!
