Chocolate
Chocolate Heredia was one of the first Caulker fishermen who began ferrying backpackers out to Swallow Caye on his fishing boat. He has also played a crucial role in the establishment of the wildlife sanctuary and continued protection of the sea mammals. Chocolate’s still leads excellent and informative tours, however sporadically. Also there is a gift shop where Chocolate’s wife Annie has souvenirs with international flare: gorgeous hand-woven textiles from Mexico and Guatemala; sarongs and clothing from Indonesia and Malaysia; and jewelry made from precious and semiprecious stones.
