Departure: Planning Your Exit from Placencia

Flying Out? If you took a domestic flight from Belize City to Placencia, it’s time to head to the Placencia Air Strip. Keep track of your flight schedule, as some airstrips in Belize have only one or two flights per day, and be aware of the required check-in time. If you booked through one of our partner properties like Sirenian Bay , no worries – we’ll make sure you stay updated and get to your flight on time.

Driving Out? For those driving back to Belize City, we highly recommend a stop at The Belize Zoo and Tropical Education Center. Spend an hour or two exploring Belize’s unique wildlife and learning about conservation efforts. It’s an excellent way to entertain the kids if you’re traveling with family or simply enjoy one last adventure before heading home.
