How to get to Caye Caulker, Belize | Caye Caulker travel guides

By plane

Caye Caulker Airport IATA: CUK is located at the southern end of the island. Belize is served by both Maya Island Air (http://www.mayaregional.com/) and Tropic Air (http://www.tropicair.com/). Flights leave hourly from Belize City to San Pedro, and will stop here if there is demand. These local planes leave from the international airport and the cost is approximately US$75 one-way and about $45 from the municipal airstrip, and takes about 10-15 min. These planes also leave from the Belize City Municipal Airport IATA: TZA and the cost is less.

If you're coming in from Mexico you can fly from Corozal, 20 min from the Mexican border at Chetumal. The flights stop in Ambergris and Caye Caulker if there's demand, and will save you the 4+ hour bus ride to Belize City.

By Sea

Catch a Water Taxi in Belize City to Caye Caulker and they have frequent runs to the island everyday rain or shine. The ride takes about 45 min, and then continues on to San Pedro. On windy days the trip can be a little rough, but most times is smooth. Sit towards the back of the boat for a smoother ride.
