Thank you for uploading this! (and I had no video aparati) I was in Dangriga for a few months in 2004 and, with some friends, made a trip to this island for a few days. One of the most memorable times of my life. So beautiful I still dream of it. I never wore shoes for 4 days, and I ended up with a snorkel tan on my face. Yes, the "resorts" are packed rather closely for an island roughly the size of a football field, but it is charming. Sigh. Take me back.
well i guess pretty good since it's only like... a 5 acre island that takes less than 10 minutes to walk a circle around! but it was still exciting to me!
I was only there for two days in May of 2005 but I remember it well, I stayed at the same place you did, Gaviota's, only problem was that I was sick when I left. It's too small of an island to have wall to wall resorts. No sewage treatment and many of the resorts don't have rainwater for showers of even if they do, when I was there they had been having a dry spell so their rain barrels were empty.
Tobacco Caye is tiny but there is a lot to see. On the jetties on a dark night you see phosphorescent plankton in the water. Then there are hermit crabs that haul stuff around all night long. You see their tracks in the sand during the day. The snorkeling is great. The spotted eagle rays are impressive, and I saw a school of tarpon. I don't recommend going fishing with AJ. He charges US$20/hour/person (a full day is cheaper in SanPedro). Tobacco Caye Paradise Lodge was the best place to stay.
I was there in November 2007 - I was a medical student doing my elective at the hospital in Dangriga! Tobacco Caye was so relaxing, apart from the very choppy boat ride to get there when the motor kept cutting out on the boat haha
