Bad news - the exit fee has recently been increased to a whopping US$18.75, in line with the other Belize border crossings. Water taxi fares remain the same though (BZ$40 - BZ$50 depending on the operator). Bring a garbage sack with you to keep your pack/suitcase dry - there have been some wet crossings recently!

Thanks Hickatee - do you know which operator does the crossing for BZ$40?

Hi Chillie

Requena's Charter Service (t: 722-2070, e: watertaxi@btl.net) who have an office on Front Street, or you can buy tickets at the dock in the morning. You need to buy your ticket by 9am, for a 9.30am departure.

I know Hickatee is correct, but I just thought I'd question the Belize Tourist Board about the departure fees shown on their website.

Here's their reply:
"The departure fee for departures by water taxi to Guatemala & Honduras is US$3.75, BZE$7.50. This is stated on our website."

I then sent a second inquiry, and got this reply from the same person:

"We confirmed with Boarder Management, who has informed us that foreigners spending more than or 24 hrs in the country pays a departure fee of $30 bze and pact fee of $7.50 bze. foreigners spending less than or 24 hrs in the country pays only departure fee of $30 bze. Should you require any additional information in this regard, you can contact Border Management at Tel: 823-3039."
