By Taxi in The Southern Coast

If you need a ride to the airport in Dangriga, call Neal's Taxi. Fare from downtown to the airstrip at the town's north end costs about BZ$6-BZ$8. Taxis are more expensive in Placencia, given the relatively short distances involved. It's BZ$50 one way for one to three persons and BZ$15 per person for four or more from Placencia Village to the north end of the peninsula (where The Placencia is); BZ$40 one way from Placencia Village to Maya Beach for one to three persons and BZ$15 per person for four or more; BZ$12 for one person and BZ$6 per person for two or more from Placencia Village to the airstrip. Your hotel can arrange a taxi for you, or call Percy Neal or Samuel Burgess.

A shuttle van service runs from time to time up and down the peninsula. When the van operates, fare is around BZ$4 per person. Ask at your hotel if it's running, but don't count on it.
