Tobacco Caye

This little island is a real gem surrounded by an abundance of marine life such as turtles and rays.

  • How to get there...

    You can’t just show up, you will need a reservation in order to get to Tobacco Caye.

    Once you’ve booked your hotel, they will arrange to pick you up from Dangriga.

    The pick up times are between 11:30 and 12:30. The boat pick up is about 15minutes walk from the bus station or a $BZ 5 taxi ride from the bus stop to the boat pick up. 

  • Stay...

    Wynward lodge.
    The place is very basic but it’s a great option if you’re on a budget. The island is so small as well, the location is great too.

    Reef End Lodge
    This place is a bit more up market but if you can, try staying in one of their houses on the water.

  • Do...

    First of all, relax, take a book and enjoy the peace and quiet of a small quit island. 

    All accommodations also include activities, you can borrow kayaks and snorkelling gear for free. The snorkelling was the best I’ve done in Belize. We saw some sting rays and plenty of fishes. The starting point for the snorkelling is from the reef end lodge bar. 

    Take a walk on the pier and spot some sting and eagle rays.

  • Eat and drink...

    You can drink at any of the bars on the island although you’ll have to stick with your hotel for food as everything is sold as an all inclusive package. You can opt for breakfast, lunch and dinner or simply breakfast and dinner instead if you’re on a diet or on a budget or both.
