Yes, for the most it is very safe to fly in a small Tropic Airline plane. It is a great addition to your adventure. They fly fairly close to the sea (compared to a large jet), so you can see through the beautiful crystal clear caribbean blue water and see the reef, vegetation, boats and even rays sometimes! Small planes are not pressurized so you have air blowing and some windows even open, also it is a little noisy. It is a short flight and you can get some great photos through the windows (don't we all do that?) and an aerial view of San Pedro as you are landing sets most of our hearts soaring with happiness, joy, peace and excitement. After all, you are finally there and the real fun is just about to begin. Barefoot on the Beach of the beautiful blue Caribbean Sea. Flight out is another story -aerial photos but saddness, tears and a wish you didin't have to leave. Enjoy & Belize it!
