Where do I get the shuttle from?

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.
