Taxi Service In Belize City
If you decide to take the water taxi to Caye Caulker, you will need ground transportation to get from the airport to the water taxi terminal.
Taxis charge a flat-rate of $30 US for a party of two (and an additional fee for each additional passenger) to go from the airport to Belize City.
You will find the taxis as soon as you exit the building after you passed through customs. Usually, there are plenty of taxis waiting for customers, but if you want to make sure you don’t have to wait, call a driver in advance. Our recommendation is to ask your hosts to arrange a taxi for you. This way you can be sure your taxi is waiting for you and you get to the water taxi quickly.
We highly recommend Roger Dougal’s taxi service in Belize City and for getting around on the mainland. His number is +501-600-4751.
