Frequently Asked Questions

Shaka Caye is a Belize private island resort. We are located on Little Frenchman Caye, 1/4 mile NE of St. George’s Caye, and one of Belize’s best areas, remarkably close to the Great Barrier Reef. We are also near to Belize City, so we are close to hospitals and civilization. We limit the island to only a small number of guests at a time to ensure our guests enjoy their privacy and the beauty of the island.

There is a minimum of twelve people at your service during your stay, including the chef, concierge, servers, housekeepers and the grounds-keeping crew. Our staffing level may increase with larger groups, depending on the circumstances.

The island is approximately seven acres with our own white sand beach and private lagoon.

Absolutely! Children under 5 always stay free with their parents at Shaka Caye. We have lots of fun things to do for the kids so bring the whole family!

The list of activities and unique adventures is quite long. Shaka caye has the best fishing, snorkeling and diving in Belize. The flats attract professional fly fishermen, while the reef is great for trolling for bigger fish. On the island, guests enjoy kayaks, standup paddle boards, and a variety of beach games. Of course, most people prefer to lay in the sun on a float or read in one of the many hammocks around the caye. Mainland adventures are equally numerous and attractive. Your personal travel concierge will help you plan each day in as much detail as you prefer.

This is the best part! Unlike other islands, we are only a 25-minute beautiful boat ride from Belize City. Our Captain will pick you up from the dock and handle everything. There are no dangerous commuter flights, long shuttles, layovers, or time-consuming transfers. We want you to enjoy an easy journey.

We highly suggest that you purchase travel insurance to protect you and your family from the unexpected before and during your trip.

A great attitude and an appetite for either adventure or relaxation. Everything else will be provided. Your personal travel concierge will assist you with planning the details of your trip to ensure we have everything your party requires. One thing we recommend for active guests is some form of foot protection such as water shoes or reef shoes.
