Smart planning from touchdown to the dock

The smoother your arrival in San Pedro, the more time you’ll have for island‑hopping.

Arriving via Belize City and the water taxi

• The water taxi from Belize City to Ambergris Caye takes about 90 minutes, with a stop at Caye Caulker along the way.
• Diamante can pre‑arrange the water‑taxi route via a preferred Belize driver, Mr. Mervin. He provides airport–dock transport and your ferry tickets at pickup, helping you skip lines. On arrival in San Pedro, a taxi will be waiting to bring you to the hotel. Please book this service at least one week before arrival.

Arriving via a puddle jumper flight

• Diamante can book your Tropic Air flight at no extra cost. You’ll pay at the Tropic desk when you arrive, and the team can adjust the date or time without fees.
• Flights run throughout the day. A buffer of 60–90 minutes between your international arrival and the puddle jumper is recommended; airlines advise 2–3 hours.

With either route, you’ll land just steps from the heart of San Pedro and the beachfront comfort of Diamante.
