Q:
What is the ideal form of transport to Caye Caulker? We will be on a cruise ship and have time restrictions. We would prefer a water taxi.
A:
Sorry to be slow. We used the water taxi. It was fine.
Q:
How does one get from across the split to the other side of the island?

I would ask a local. You could paddle board, canoe, kayak, or pay someone to take you by boat.

Hi there! I would say you could definitely spend 9 days if you're going to do excursions off the island like going to Mayan ruins, cave tubbing or snorkeling. The island is beautiful and you'll have an amazing time, but 9 days just on the island could get to be too much if you don't venture out. The ferry is offered by two companies, but the San Pedro Express company is a little bit of a nicer boat, though slightly more $. You would take an airport taxi to the water taxi terminal (about $50BZD though more for many passengers). Then, you'll check your larger bags with the water taxi staff at the curb, walk to the office to purchase tickets, and wait for the next water taxi. It's kind of chaotic when waiting in line for the taxi, but you'll make it aboard! The ride is about 45 minutes and stops at Caye Caulker before going on to San Pedro (assuming you use the San Pedro Express company). If you want to go on many excursions or very far into the country of Belize, I don't advise staying on Caye Caulker for the full 9 days. For example, if you want to go to the ATM Caves or Xunantunich ruins, you'd have about a 45 min water tax ride & 2 hour bus ride each way (at least). If you want a more jungle experience, stay at Pook's Hill Lodge or Bocawina Lodge. They're both very authentic and have amazing staff. I hope this help!
