Travel To Belize Map of Belize
Greetings from Cayo Espanto,
We are delighted to have you spend your Holiday on your own
private island, where paradise and luxury come together as
one. Adventurous days are followed by even more romantic evenings,
as quiet hammocks swaying in the breeze lull you into relaxation.
Let Cayo Espanto exceed all of your fantasies of your own
tropical paradise!
You will most likely fly into Belize International Airport
on Delta Airlines, American Airlines, Continental Airlines
or TACA. Flights are available from Atlanta (2 hours and 55
minutes), Miami (1 hour and 40 minutes), Houston (1 hour and
55 minutes), and Dallas (2 hours and 30 minutes).
Upon your arrival, you will clear immigration and claim your
luggage. Wheeled carts are provided at no charge. You are
permitted to bring one bottle of liquor or two bottles of
wine into Belize per person.
Next, you clear customs where you will be greeted by a variety
of friendly baggage handlers. They will assist you with your
luggage once you arrive at customs and beyond. They will do
all the lifting onto and off of the customs counters for you
if you allow them to. Gratuity for baggage handlers is usually
fifty cents - one dollar US per bag. (let them have it all,
you will enjoy the freedom) Margie, from the Cayo Espanto
Staff will meet you outside Customs. She will then direct
you to the Maya Island Air ticket counter, to check in for
your flight to San Pedro. This airline uses planes ranging
in size from 12 passenger Caravans to a Cessna 172. You may
choose from a scheduled flight or a private charter. The scheduled
flights are frequent, but a private charter would reduce wait
times.
Scheduled flights cost approximately $120 (US) per person,
round-trip. A private charter will vary in price, depending
on the size of Airplane.
Another option would be a quick helicopter ride to land directly
on Cayo Espanto. This four passenger, Bell 206 is approximately
$1,140 (US) one-way, plus tax or $2,280 plus tax round-trip. Click

We will pre-arrange the transfer option of your choice and
the ticket cost can be settled at check-in with the Airline
/ Helicopter company.
The flight time is 17 to 19 minutes. It includes beautiful
views of various islands and the second largest barrier reef
in the world (it will be on your right). Keep an eye out for
manatee as you leave the mainland and look for rays and dolphins,
as you get closer to the islands.
Before boarding, ask your pilot to let you know when Cayo
Espanto is in view. Just before landing in San Pedro, you
will see Cayo Espanto to the left (you should recognize it
from photos). You will be met at the San Pedro airport by
our staff and taken via golf cart or taxi directly to one
of our shuttle boats just a few hundred yards away. You will
enjoy a 7 minute ride to Cayo Espanto. Your luggage will be
handled for you the entire time.
