What vaccinations and medication will I need?

While we are not medical professionals and cannot offer personalised medical advice, we want to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable adventure. Here are some tips to help you prepare.

1. Consult with a healthcare professional

We recommend scheduling an appointment with your travel nurse or doctor at least eight weeks before your adventure. This will give you ample time to receive any necessary vaccines or medications.

2. Up-to-date medical advice

• UK residents: visit the NHS Fit For Travel website for the latest medical advice.
• US residents: check the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website for specialised health information.
• Australian residents: refer to the Smart Traveler Health website for current medical advice.

3. Government travel advice

• UK residents: review the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) Travel Advice before your adventure.
• US residents: consult the US Department of State Travel Advice for important travel information.
• Australian residents: check the Smart Traveler website for up-to-date travel advice.

4. Medication tips

If you take prescription medication, ensure you bring enough to last the entire adventure, plus a few extra days in case of travel delays. Carry a copy of your prescription with you in case you need to visit a clinic while abroad.

We hope this information will help you prepare for a safe and healthy adventure.

What time should my flight arrive to be in time for the welcome meeting?

Please try to ensure your flight arrives by 3pm on the first day.

What time should my flight depart on the last day?

We recommend you book a flight departing no earlier than 10:30am on the last day. The earliest ferry from Caye Caulker to Belize City departs at 6:30am and takes about an hour. Once you arrive in Belize City, it will take approximately 45 minute to an hour to travel from the port to the airport, and you need to arrive at least two hours before your flight home.

If your flight departs later in the day, there are additional ferries from Caye Caulker at 7:30am, 9:00am and 10:30am. There are also afternoon ferries at 12pm, 1:30pm, 3:30pm and 5pm, just remember that you will have to check out of your room at 11am.

Are airport transfers included?

If you arrive on Day 1 of your adventure, or you’ve booked yourself a pre-night at the same hotel the adventure starts from, your airport arrival transfer will be included. Arrival transfers are private to Flash Pack and in groups for Day 1 arrivals. We will arrange small group transfers, dictated by your group’s various flight arrival times, so you may have to wait in the airport for a short while. If you’ve booked yourself a pre-night at the Flash Pack starting hotel, your transfer may be individual if no one else is arriving at a similar time.

However, if you’ve booked alternative pre-trip accommodation or are arriving by another mode of transport, you’ll have to arrange your own arrival transfer. 

Please also note: in order to secure your place on the private transfer, you’ll need to provide your flight details to our Customer Experience team no later than 30 days prior to your adventure’s departure date. You’ll get automated email reminders about this, but the team won’t be chasing you. That’s why it’s key to get this information over in good time. If the details are provided later than 30 days pre-departure, you’ll have to arrange your own arrival transfer.

In terms of departure from Caye Caulker, you’ll receive a ferry ticket that includes a public shuttle back to Belize airport. The ferries operate at set times each day, so please read the previous answer for further details.

Are tips included?

Please note that tips are not included in the cost of this adventure. Suggested amounts per person are:

• Pack Leader: 10-13 USD per day
• Driver: 3 USD per day
• Local tips: your Pack Leader will be able to advise on how much to tip locally. Some Pack Leaders will collect a kitty at the welcome meeting to take care of local tips.

However, all tips are at your discretion depending on what you feel comfortable with.

Will my itinerary change?

Please be aware that the itinerary, activities and hotels are subject to change. These changes can happen with little notice due to availability, poor weather, seasonal changes, or other circumstances beyond our control – but we’ll always do our best to ensure it has little impact on your experience. From time to time, we may also make changes to your itinerary to try out new ideas and keep things fresh and exciting.
