Water Taxi to Caye Caulker? Help please - thanks!

[Busybears]

Since the water can be chopping during this time of the year, our plan for Belize is up in the air - it will be based on how soon we can get tendered in, and how the weather is going to be like on 1/28/2016 when we get there.

 

We are thinking about taking water taxi to Caye Caulker on our own. If the water is nice, we'll find a local snorkeling tour operator to take us out to the reef and shark alley. We just have a couple questions:

 

1. Is the water taxi on time and boats are reliable? Has anyone had issues with it?

2. Will there be local snorkeling tours available once we get there?

 

:confused: Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
