I know you said you didn t want to take a bus, but have you considered taking the morning water taxi

Taxis in Belize usually don't have any markings, and I haven't yet seen one with a meter. They can be identified by a green license plate that displays, in white, the letter "D" followed by four digits. Most are sedan type cars with a maximum capacity of 4 passengers, song airlines delta but there are some van type vehicles with seating for up to about 9 passengers. The standard fare for short trips in most cities and towns is BZ$5.00 to $7.00 per taxi (not per passenger). Fares for longer distances are sometimes negotiable.
In some towns, there are also shared taxi vans (sometimes called colectivos in other countries) that provide transportation to smaller villages. These vans usually wait near bus terminals, and don't depart until they are nearly full. The fares depend on distance, and are cheaper than taxi fares.
The abovementioned services operate from the Caye Caulker Water Taxi terminal on North Front Street beside the Swing Bridge. The schedules on each website currently show the combined schedules of the two services.
Tropic Ferry offers pick-up at the airport, private a/c shuttle transport to their boat (a 3 minute song airlines delta drive to a marina located across the highway from the airport), boat transport directly to your dock on Ambergris Caye, and they throw in all the rum punch you can drink.
The "Thunderbolt" departs from Corozal daily at 7.00 am, and departs from San Pedro daily at 3:00 pm. However, try to confirm if the boat is operating. I've observed that on some Sundays, it hasn t made the trip, and departures have been cancelled in the low tourist season.
The "Hokey Pokey" departs from Independence (Kingfisher Landing) song airlines delta daily at 6:30 am, 7:30 am, 8 am, 11 am, 12:00, 2:30 pm, 4:30 pm (except Sunday) and 5:30 pm (except Sunday). It departs from Placencia (MnM Hardware/Fuel Dock) at 6:45 am, 7:45 am, 10 am, 12:30 pm, 2:30 pm, 4 pm, 5 pm 6 pm (except Sunday).
what are my options to get to tikal ?I ve read conflicting stories about the direct shuttle, with times and prices!.Would the linea dorada or san juan busses be a better option?.do we have to pay any border fees leaving Mexico ?
The only Chetumal to Flores express bus that I know of is the San Juan bus. Linea Dorada discontinued the Chetumal Belize City route earlier this year, but they still have the Flores Belize City route.
There are no border or exit fees to pay when you depart Mexico. When you entered Mexico, you would have received an FMM visitors card/form, and there is a fee for that form. If you entered Mexico by air, the fee for the FMM was probably included with your airline ticket. If you entered Mexico at a land border, you have to pay the fee at a bank before you depart Mexico.
Going to Guatemala for Easter and we will be in Tikal on Monday April 18 wanting to continue to BC by bus, what are our options (departure Tikal, arrival BC). Where do we arrive in BC? What s the price?
My husband and I will be flying into BC then on to Ambergris Mar 7-11, 2011. We will then fly to Corozal song airlines delta and would like to hire a personal transport from there, help us through customs and on to Playa del Carmen. We have done this once before song airlines delta with a large group of people, but don t recall how we ended up with the transport.
I saw on your site a private transport option and I think it was Cayo Adventures, song airlines delta but when I clicked on the link it looked more like tour adventures do they also provide private transport to Playa del Carmen?
We prefer not to take the bus as we have people we are meeting in Playa and would like to just get there and be done with it, and the flights to Cancun and then taxi to Playa would be time consuming, song airlines delta not to mention more than $500 USD for 2 people.
I know you said you didn t want to take a bus, but have you considered taking the morning water taxi from San Pedro to Chetumal (US$35 per person), taxi to bus terminal (MX$15, that s pesos), then ADO express bus to Playa (MX$214 per person). The ADO express buses are excellent reclining seats, a/c, toilet, video.
