Getting Around Belize

Getting around Belize

Belize offers public transportation although getting to some areas like Placencia and Hopkins could be difficult at a very long journey. Most people fly on the local airline Tropic air. The flights are fast and reasonably priced. You can also fly over to most of the Cayes on Tropic air instead of catching the ferry.

Here are some tips and advice on making your way through Belize while exploring and enjoying every moment of time that you're there.

 

Maya Island Air and Tropic Air offer regular flights and charter service throughout the country. There is also several airplane and helicopter companies that provide charter flights for aerial tours and destination-hopping.
