The experience

You pilot your own jet ski from the San Pedro marina across the lagoon side of the island, then out to the barrier reef side where the water opens up. The route is yours to set: cruise at a leisurely pace or push for speed, and the journey to Caye Caulker takes anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour depending on how hard you throttle. A jet ski reaches places larger tour boats can't, so you're not locked into a fixed route or a group schedule.

At the Lazy Lizard bar on Caye Caulker, you tie up and step ashore for as long as you want. The bar sits on the island's main strip, so you can order food and drinks, browse the shops, or just sit and watch the water. There's no set time to leave. You decide when to gear back up for the return ride. On the way back to San Pedro, you can stop at neighboring islands if the mood strikes, turning the ride itself into part of the day instead of just transit.

Each rental includes a life vest and bottled water. The guides speak English and Spanish and can brief you on the route and answer questions about the reefs and islands you're passing. You'll need a minimum of two jet skis in your group to depart, so this works best for pairs or small groups splitting the cost.
