Your route to the reef
From Dangriga to your island escape
Plan the journey with your stay
Isla Marisol is reached by boat from Dangriga on the Belize mainland. Coordinate your international arrival, onward domestic flight or road journey and island boat transfer as one itinerary. Do not book a tight connection based only on an approximate crossing time.
Scheduled transfers or a private charter
Scheduled boat transfers operate on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Travel on other days requires a private charter request at additional cost, subject to the resort’s confirmation. Add both arrival and departure dates to your trip builder. Scheduled transfers are included in the accommodation package; staff must confirm the price and arrangements for a private charter.
Before leaving the mainland
Keep travel documents, medication, sun protection and anything needed during the crossing in a small accessible bag. Larger luggage may be difficult to reach aboard the boat. Sea conditions can change timing; follow the team’s final meeting instructions and allow flexibility.
