baylorbear87 Posted May 8, 2005 #1 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Has anyone made it over to Ambergris Caye either by water taxi or by plane (15 minute flight)? I have read many great things about Ambergris Caye and would like to get out there. Also want to do snorkeling and have seen many operators located there. The problem is getting there I guess.

Travel Mom Posted May 14, 2005 #2 Share Posted May 14, 2005 I was hoping someone would have answered your question. I will continue searching. I went to Belieze and only did city stuff....regret not getting into the beautiful water. Looking for info on Ambergris. Will get to go again in March of 06.

Beach Hunter Posted May 14, 2005 #3 Share Posted May 14, 2005 There are a lot of excursion operators on Ambergris Caye. But they tend to schedule their excursions the day (or days) before. You are better off scheduling a trip with the ship or in Belize City than just showing up and trying to find an excursion when you get to Ambergris. You cannot snorkel from the beach.

baylorbear87 Posted May 16, 2005 Author #4 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Hello Travel Mom- It is always good to hear from a "Bear". I was in the class of '87. How about those lady bears winning the nat'l championship???? Thanks to everyone for responding. We've decided to book with coralbreeze tours and go over to Caye Cualker and snorkel for the day. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowhip Posted May 20, 2005 #5 Share Posted May 20, 2005 I had the same interest and a similar excursion. I came across a travel agency in Belize that comes highly recommended. They are called MAYA Travel Services. I was like you (and from Texas!) in that I wanted to see the best beach, do the Hol Chan Reserve and Shark Ray Snorkel..go to Ambergris versus Caye Caulker...AND have time to do a little shopping in San Pedro. Well...I found the answer! Delia at Maya Travel booked transfers to get me from my ship (Carnival Elation), take us to the airport where we catch Maya Air to San Pedro/Ambergris Caye, we go snorkeling and do Hol Chan and Shark Ray, and then do an hour of shopping before our flight returns us back to Beize City and then a 15 min tour ride back to the ship. She confirmed the "local versus ship time" question and we are all set. I can't wait. Their website is mayatravelservices.com For roundtrip airfare, taxi transfers to/from the ship, and a 2-3 snorkel tour was $115 a person. Hope this helps!:) cowhip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostinplace Posted May 25, 2005 #6 Share Posted May 25, 2005 We used Marvin at Wet N Wild for a plane trip to Ambergris Caye and Shark Ray Alley/Hol Chan Snorkeling: www.ecotoursbelize.com It was $90/adult, $80/kids 10 or younger. This price did not include marine park admission, which was (I believe) $5/each or so. It also did not include lunch, but there were plenty of places to eat on the island. Marvin's 'shop' is located right at the tender pier. We got in early, so he re-booked us an earlier flight to the island and an earlier snorkel trip so we had plenty of time after to explore the island before our 3:30 pm flight back. He also arranged transportation to and from the airport. Everything ran VERY well. I'd recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gburau Posted May 25, 2005 #7 Share Posted May 25, 2005 You can also book with Coral Breeze. They have an option to ride the boat over, plus a lunch. It is a 45 minute ride and they offer a great lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
