Taxi in Belize

When you’re in Belize, taxis are one of the easiest ways to get around, especially in cities like Belize City or San Ignacio. These taxis aren’t usually metered, so remember to agree on the fare before you hop in. It’s a great way to avoid any surprise costs. Here’s a pro tip: Locals often negotiate the price, so don’t be shy to gently haggle for a fair deal.

Another fun fact? Belizean taxis are typically old American sedans, and they stand out with their green license plates. They’re a convenient choice for short trips or when you’re unsure about directions.

Belize’s cayes (small islands) are a must-visit, and water taxis are your go-to for island hopping. They’re a fun and scenic way to travel, offering stunning views of the Caribbean Sea. Services like the San Pedro Belize Express and the Ocean Ferry Belize provide regular trips to popular destinations like Ambergris Caye and Caye Caulker.You can access water taxis in Belize City, Ambergris Caye and Caye Caulker. Tiny atolls and cayes that are not as frequently visited by tourists tend to require a smaller water taxi operation or a private boat charter. There are multiple water taxi services, including the San Pedro Belize Express, which operate daily shuttle services between Belize City, Caye Caulker and Ambergris Caye. One-way tickets cost between $21 and $31.
