Some companies provide shared shuttle service from BZE Airport at 11:00 and 14:00. Other companies provide pre-arranged transfers depending on your arrival time.

Where do I get the shuttle from?

For shared shuttle service, the exact pick-up location can vary according to the company you’ll choose. Whether you’ve scheduled your transfer or you’re looking for on-demand service, the driver usually waits for the passengers in front of the terminal building.

Convenience

Choosing to get to the water taxi terminal by a shared shuttle can be pretty convenient, especially if you arrange the service with the same company that operates the water taxis, like San Pedro Belize Express Water Taxi. There are other companies offering on-demand service but it’s not guaranteed that you’ll get a spot on the vehicle and you can end up waiting a long time either for the next available shuttle or for more passengers to get in.

Editor’s Note

The more passengers are on board, the lower the fare per passenger; however, if the vehicle doesn't fill up, you can end up paying a very high fare.

Useful Tips

The shuttle drivers usually wait outside the terminal building to attract passengers; be fast and don't hesitate to approach them.
