How to Get to Blue Horizon Lodge

Arriving at the Belize International Airport

Belize International Airport is a small airport that provides excellent signage to help you get through customs and transfer to your in-country flight to Placencia. At the point of entry, a passport is required. When booking your international flight, please be aware of your landing time. For commuter flights, we recommend arriving to Belize City no later than 3:00 pm, as the last flight to Placencia departs at 4:45 pm. For a ground transfer on Muy’Ono Explorer, we recommend arriving in Belize City no later than 11:00 am. PLEASE NOTE: If you miss the 4:45 pm Tropic Air flight, we will not be able to transfer you to Blue Horizon Lodge that same day. You will need to either make arrangements to stay the night in Belize City or in Placencia (there is a 6:30 pm flight to Placencia). Lodging and meals for missed flights will be at the guest’s expense. We can arrange to transfer you to the island early the next day in time for fishing.

Transferring to the Placencia Airstrip and your Final Destination

You have a few choices on how to travel from Belize City to Placencia, the closest town to our island resort. You can take the Muy'Ono Explorer for $150 US round trip, per person. This is a 3.5 hour tour throughout Belize with a welcome drink, air-conditioned van, tour guide, and refreshment/bathroom stops. You can also choose to take the breathtaking 30 minute commuter flight down the coast of Belize to the Placencia Airstrip. We are happy to arrange your connecting flight, that cost is $305USD round trip per person. If you would like to book your own transportation, please verify times of flight before booking.

As you arrive in Placencia, one of our teammates will be waiting to bring you to our boat, at the Municipal Pier Marina, where you will catch the boat to Blue Horizon Lodge. From the pier, the boat will travel 16 miles to North East Caye, the island where Blue Horizon is located. Expect the travel time to vary from 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the ocean conditions. The boat ride to and from the island is included in each package.

Departure times will be arranged on island and will vary based on all departing guest flight times that day. We do our best to minimize wait times for local flight departures. Depending on the schedule of other guests arriving or departing, you may be asked to relax at the Municipal Pier for a short time… You will be able to drop your luggage with our captain and relax at close by restaurants… we highly recommend Big Becks!
