can anyone point me in the right direction, what's the best way to get to the island from the west coast of Canada, fly, bus, boat, etc??

Hi Cole, you have several options. 1- get a flight to cancun then hop on the bus to belize city from there you can take either a water taxi or short flight to San Pedro. Also another option is flying into houston or miami then flying to belize city again either water taxi that takes about 1 1/2 hours or short flight that is 15 minutes.

We have flown Comox-Calgary-Houston, overnight in Houston, Continental the next day to Belize City. Tropic to the Island.Or you could take a charter to Cancun, from the airport take a bus to Playa del Carmen, stay overnight there, bus in the morning to Chetumal, Belizean bus to Corozol, fly to AC.

Or you can do as treetops suggested but stay overnight once you reach Calgary and then catch the 7 am flight to Houston/Belize. You should have your feet up and enjoying a beer by 6 pm.

I've found Taca flights online from Los Angeles after midnight via El Salvadore and back to Bz International, then a puddle jumper to San Pedro by 10:30 AM. Around 500.00 US. Not sure what you take from Canada to get there but might be worth it.

thank you so much for all your help..stay tuned for more question, i'm sure i'll have them..were looking at staying at chez caribe, has anyone heard of the rental..

Cole, go to My Stuff, up above, click on that. Then a drop down menu comes up. Click on My Messages, then click on Options and then click on Send new private message. If people have written to you, you will see a blinky envelope next to My Stuff. Just follow along the same until My Messages, then you should be able to click to read your message(s).

Hope I got that all right.

Cole, Yes my wife and I stayed at Chez Caribe and loved it. We stayed for the month of March. The caretaker was very helpful as well as the other guests, you will enjoy it. PM me if you have specific questions.
