New Digital Embarkation/Disembarkation E-Form

Philip Goldson International Airport

Fill out the digital form before your arrival and save time at the airport!

If you fill out this new digital form in advance, you won’t have to complete it on the plane, which will help make your arrival and departure at Philip Goldson International Airport much smoother. Each person must complete one form for arrival and another for departure. Be sure to obtain the QR code at the end, and either screenshot it or print the confirmation to bring with you.

There are Two Ways to Get to Ambergris Caye

To reach the island, you have the option of taking a flight or a water taxi. The water taxi is more cost-effective but slower, while an island hopper flight is more expensive but quicker. Both options provide stunning views!


We would be happy to have a team member meet you at the airport or water taxi terminal to guide you back to the villas. Just let us know in advance as we require at least one day's notice to make this arrangement.

Water Taxi

 There are two water taxis:

  • San Pedro Belize Express 
    • http://www.belizewatertaxi.com
  • Caribbean Sprinter
    • https://sprinter.bz/book
  • 1.5 hours sailing time 
  • Departures are every hour or hour and a half
  • Prices range from $31 to $35 USD one way or $47 to $60 USD round trip *As prices may change, please verify directly on the carrier website.  
  • To reach the water taxi terminal from the airport, take a taxi, which will take approximately 25 minutes. We recommend booking the taxi through the water taxi company when you purchase your tickets. Alternatively, you can get a taxi at the airport. Make sure to agree on the fare before getting in.
  • You must arrive at the terminal at least 15 minutes before the scheduled departure time. If you miss the departure, you can pass the time by having a snack, browsing the shops, and catch the next water taxi.
  • If your flight to Belize International Airport arrives after 3:30 pm, consider taking a flight instead, as you may not make the water taxi, depending on how long immigration and customs takes.

Getting to Mangata Villas

Golf carts are the primary means of transportation on Ambergris Caye. We suggest you rent a golf cart so you can explore this beautiful island. Secret Beach (a popular tourist attraction) is a 15-minute golf cart ride, and the town is 6.5 miles away (about a 25-minute cart ride). We can recommend a reputable and reliable cart rental company, make the reservation for you, and have your cart waiting when you arrive!


Let us know if you want a team member to meet you when you arrive on the island. You can follow them on your golf cart rental back to Mangata Villas for check-in. Or, if you want to get here on your own, just follow the round blue signs that say Mangata Villas and Moon Bar after you cross the bridge north of town. There is one main road that you will follow to get to Mangata Villas. You can also find us on Google Maps.

​

If you opt not to rent a golf cart, please note that taxis are expensive outside town limits. If you take a cab, tell them you are going to 6.5 miles North Road (just past Portofino Beach Resort) and settle on the price before you get in.
