About this guide
Caye Caulker HQ is an independent guide to Caye Caulker, Belize, built to help you plan the trip and book with confidence. Every fact comes from the operator or an official source, dated so you can see how current it is.
What the guide covers
Each guide answers one planning question and compares the real options side by side: water taxi against flight, half-day against full-day snorkel trips, diving the Great Blue Hole against flying over it. Where an option is impractical from Caye Caulker, such as a tour that leaves San Pedro before dawn, the page says so.
How we research
The same rules apply to every page on the site.
- Sources: operators' and airlines' own websites first, then official bodies such as the Belize Fisheries Department, the Belize Audubon Society, the National Meteorological Service and UNESCO, then published research.
- Timetables: water taxi times and fares are rechecked every week against the operators' own schedules.
- Dates: every guide shows when its facts were last checked.
- Unconfirmed figures: if a figure can't be confirmed at its source, it stays off the page rather than being guessed.
- Ratings: tour ratings are the booking platform's own, and the platform is named.
- Photos: real photos of the real place, licensed and listed on our image credits page.
Editorial standards
We don't write our own reviews, invent ratings, accept payment for placement or use other travel blogs as sources. Safety information, such as dive depths and certification requirements, comes only from bodies like PADI and DAN or from the operators' own rules.
Who runs it
Caye Caulker HQ is run by Ben Duffy, its founder and editor. Ben has spent his career in search and content, including agency work for travel and hospitality brands, and holds every page to the standards above.
How the site makes money
Some links are affiliate links: book through one and we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. It never decides what we recommend, and we list trips we earn nothing from when they're the better choice. The details are in our affiliate disclosure.
