First trip to Ambergris Caye? Here's what to expect from arrival through your first day.
Getting to the island
Most visitors fly into Belize City (BZE), then take a short hop on Tropic Air or Maya Island Air to John Greif II Airport (SPR) in San Pedro. The flight is 15–20 minutes and offers incredible views.
After you land
SPR is tiny — you'll be outside in five minutes. We're 100 ft from the terminal with your cart ready. Drive straight to your hotel and start your vacation.
Money
USD is accepted everywhere. The Belize dollar (BZD) is pegged at 2:1 to USD. Bring small bills and a credit card.
What to pack
Light clothing, swimsuit, reef-safe sunscreen, sunglasses, and a refillable water bottle. Most carts don't have roofs that block the sun fully — a hat helps.
First day plan
Pick up your cart, settle into your hotel, then drive into town for a sunset dinner. Tomorrow is for snorkeling at Hol Chan.
