Caye Caulker Airport (IATA: CUK) is a small domestic airstrip on the southern end of Caye Caulker, Belize.

The airport is a quick walk or golf-cart ride from the island's main village and is known for its compact, open-air island feel.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors often book the first morning flight from Belize City, as afternoon flights are more prone to weather-related delays and the small aircraft have strict luggage weight limits.
🚖 Getting There
The airport sits just south of the main village, so most travelers walk, take a golf cart taxi, or arrange a hotel pickup. There is no regular public bus; taxis and golf carts are the main local options. If you have heavy luggage or are heading to the north side, confirm pickup with your hotel in advance.
