Getting to San Pedro

International flights arrive in Belize City, Belize (airport code BZE). From there, guests need to make their way to San Pedro, Ambergris Caye. The caye sits 36 miles north and a tad east of Belize City.

There a few options for getting from Belize City to San Pedro. What follows is our recommendation for the choice with the least amount of hassle and expense.

You'll take a puddle-jumper (15-minute flight) from Belize City to the San Pedro airstrip, where your hotel can arrange to have you picked up and transported to your home away from home for the duration of your stay.

Group Discount on Tropic Air:

We've arranged for a group discount for guests who fly Tropic Air, one of two local companies that offer service between the mainland and San Pedro. They offer several flights each day.
