AmbergrisCaye.com Home Forums Talk Belize Travel Bus from Cancun to Chetumal/Caye Caulker

Has anyone made this bus trip from Cancun to Chetumal? Final destination...Caye Caluker. Is there a water taxi available from Chetumal to Caye Caulker? What are my options?
I just returned from Caye Caulker and I was talking to other tourists and am trying to cut back on expenses traveling to and from Chicago to Caye Caulker. Round trip AA was $748.00. If I can save 200-300 dollars on travel expense...I can stay longer next year. Time is not a problem.

The bus from Cancun to Chetumal is fine. Just be sure you get on the PRIMERA CLASSE EXPRESS bus. Plenty of legroom, wide seats, a bathroom on board and usually a movie. The express takes about 5 hours. Cost is less than $30 US per person. I do not think there is a boat from Chetumal to Caye Caulker....you could, I suppose, take the boat from Chetumal to San Pedro then another boat to Caye Caulker.

Thanks shuffles...

Primera Classe...is what I was looking for. Do you know if Tropic airlines flies out of Chetumal?

Looking to rent lodgings on Lighthouse reef for Sept 2011...do you have any connections or leads?

Maya Island Air flies between Cancun & Belize City.

By bus, you will have to get to Chetumal in time for the afternoon water taxi departure. The San Pedro Belize Express water taxi has a connecting water taxi to Caye Caulker.

If you arrive in Chetumal too late, maybe you can get to Corozal in time to get a flight to Ambergris.

You'll find lots of info on my BelizeBus site, including links to the Belizean airlines and a link the the ticketbus site site for Mexican bus schedules:

One caveat about the Maya Island flight is that you said you wanted to save some money. Last time I checked, the flight was $400 US one way. That's if they actually run the flight.

Try BluHole Lodge. Hard place to get too.

Thanks Ron....just the place we were looking for. Our guides @ Caye Caulker will take us there and stay with us for the week.

Whose your guide?
