In addition, the boat (water taxi) also became the ambergris Caye citizens’ common transportation. Its people come from different races and ethnicities; Maya, Kriols, Garinagu, and Mestizo. Their everyday language is English and Belizean Kriols. The people in the ambergris Caye are incredibly friendly. They greeted each passed or smile and even sometimes invited to chat. The sellers of diving / snorkeling services or souvenirs on the streets are very friendly, although we rejected their services. In short, they are very casual and relaxed.
