Getting there & away
Frequent boats come downriver from Río Dulce and across the bay from Puerto Barrios. There are also international boats from Honduras and Belize.
Exotic Travel operates combined boat and bus shuttles to La Ceiba (the cheapest gateway to Honduras’ Bay Islands) for US$45 per person, with a minimum of six people. Leaving Lívingston at 7:30am or earlier will get you to La Ceiba in time for the boat to the islands, making it a one-day trip, which is nearly impossible to do independently.
There’s also a boat that goes direct to Punta Gorda on Tuesday and Friday at 7am (US$20, one hour), leaving from the public dock. In Punta Gorda, the boat connects with a bus to Placencia and Belize City. The boat waits for this bus to arrive from Placencia before it sets off back for Lívingston from Punta Gorda at about 10:30am.
If you are taking one of these early international departures, get your exit stamp from immigration in Lívingston the day before.
