HOW DO I GET THERE?
Belize is easily accessible from any airport in the United States, and for that matter, from anywhere in the world. Two-hour direct flights to Belize City originate daily from Atlanta, Houston and Miami. Saturday flights originate form Charlotte. Several airlines service Belize: American, Delta. Continental, USAir, and TACA.
Any of these airlines will transport you safely to the Belize International Airport (BZE) where you will clear customs and immigration. You will then buy a ticket ($23 US) from Tropic Airlines or Maya Island Airlines for the 15 minute flight to San Pedro. The flight on the "puddle jumper" will take you on a sightseeing tour over crystal clear waters to our tropical paradise.
