On Arrival in Belize 

It is best to arrive before 3:00 PM. The Belize International Airport (BZE) is easy to navigate.  After immigration, you collect your bags and move through the customs area.  The whole process can take up to an hour. Porters are standing in clear view, but it is a very short distance to where we meet you.  Please be aware porters are not employed by the Airport Authority, they can be pushy and they will charge $2 to $4 for each bag - you are not obligated to use their services.

Rendezvous 
"I will be arriving into the Belize international on the scheduled Day 1 of my Double Atoll tour."

Once you clear customs, proceed to the departures terminal of the airport and locate the Maya Island Air desk. Provide them with your passport for identification and they'll get you on to your domestic flight to Dangriga. An Island Expeditions’ representative from Pelican Beach Resort will be here to meet you here on Day 1 at the time confirmed with our Canadian head office. If you do not see our driver within twenty minutes, please contact our Dangriga office at 522-3328 or 522-0078 to let us know your status. 

“I will be arriving into Belize earlier than Day 1”

Whether traveling independently before your trip or arriving by any port other than the International Airport, please contact our office for assistance with confirming your Day 1 rendezvous.  If you are traveling in Belize in advance of your trip we recommend you call our office in Dangriga prior to Day 1 to confirm you have in fact arrived and will be rendezvousing on Day 1 as arranged with our Canadian office.

Departure from Belize/ Return to the Mainland

We depart Half Moon Caye by boat after lunch and usually arrive back in Belize City on the mainland at approximately 4:00PM. We provide transportation back to the Biltmore Hotel.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  It is advised that any other travel arrangements you have around our departure schedule should have some time flexibility, as weather and other factors can cause some delays in the transfers. Contact your Trip Planner for assistance with hotel options.
