Spend a private day on a tiki boat around Caye Caulker — snorkeling the Belize Barrier Reef, swimming with nurse sharks and stingrays, spotting manatees, and finishing with a waterfront lunch and sunset cruise. This customizable charter runs from The Split and focuses on safe, close-to-shore marine experiences.

The sun cuts low across Caribbean blue as a small tiki boat slips away from The Split on Caye Caulker. Spray tastes of salt and lime; the captain adjusts course toward shallow seagrass flats where tarpon hover like lazy sentries and the reef rises like a submerged ridge to meet the surface.
