How do I book?
All international flights come in through Belize City, Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport (BZE). Clear customs, pick up your bags, and head to the domestic terminal.
Domestic hopper plane
Most people take a hopper plane down to Placencia. The flight takes about 25 minutes. Tropic Air and Maya Island Air both run daily routes and one-way tickets start around $150. Book in advance during peak season.
Tropic Air: tropicair.com
Maya Island Air: mayaislandair.com
Both airlines can help notify your hotel before you board, just ask at the boarding counter. If you're not staying at a hotel, there are usually taxis at the Placencia airstrip. If not, the airline staff will sort one out for you.
Car or shuttle
You can rent a car at BZE or book a private shuttle. The drive to Placencia takes around three hours. Good option if you want to stop along the way.
Once you're here
Placencia is a small beach town. Everything is close. Before you arrive, we'll sort out the best pickup point based on where you're staying on the peninsula. I'll reach out on WhatsApp or email to get that locked in. Need a place to stay? Here's my recommendations
