Getting to Belize

Arriving At Phillip S.W. Goldson International Airport

Though Isla Marisol Resort is remote, it is reached easily in less than a day from most US and Canadian departure destinations. There are several options for flying to Belize and typically the best rates are secured in advance. Recently, however, many airlines are offering affordable last minute fares. Boat transfers to Isla Marisol are scheduled on Wednesday and Saturday ONLY. Private and off-day transfers are available for an additional fee.

If arriving in Belize on a transfer day (only Wednesday or Saturday), schedule an international flight that arrives before 1PM. This allows sufficient time to make a connecting flight to Dangriga. If the international flight arrives after 1PM it is difficult to reach Dangriga in time for the scheduled boat transfer. Regularly scheduled boat transfers depart Dangriga between 2PM and 3:00PM on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Private and off-day transfers can be arranged for a fee. It is also possible to arrive a day early and spend the night in Dangriga.

Getting to Dangriga

Getting to Isla Marisol from Belize City is not difficult. The most convenient way to reach Dangriga from Belize City is by plane. The 20 minute commuter flight offers spectacular views of the Belizean coastline. Both Maya Island Air and Tropic Air fly to Dangriga from the Philip Goldson International Airport.

Isla Marisol coordinates transportation from the Dangriga airstrip to the boat at Gra Gra Lagoon, approximately 10 minutes across town.

Air travel is not included in packages; however you can arrange domestic air travel through the Isla Marisol reservation office.
