For most tourists, the best way to navigate Belize is through a combination of local flights and private/shared ground transfers. We recommend making all necessary reservations before your arrival to ensure a smooth trip. Renting a car is another option, but you can't take it everywhere, especially if you want to visit the islands.

Local flights
Belize has airports at every major destination, and this is a fast and safe way to travel from one destination to another. Regular flights between Belize City and the different destinations are available daily. If the schedules do not fit your itinerary you can request private flights or helicopters, this option is fast and comfortable, recommended if you have a high budget.

Private Transportation
The best option in Belize is to book a private transfer to take you to each destination. It is a door to door service. The drivers are professionals, responsible people who know the most accessible and safe ways to get to each destination.

Car Rental
Car Rental companies can be found at the airport and other locations in the city. This is an independent way to get around but we recommend that you use GPS as road signage is scarce and, in some places, you will not find any. Also, the roads are in bad condition and at night there is very little light so you should drive during day time.

Water Taxis
Water taxis are available from the mainland to the islands and cayes. The main departure and return point is Belize City. There are also water cabs between some of the cayes and other mainland locations and hotels. This is the preferred means of transportation used by the locals. It is a good option for a budget traveler.
