You\u2019ll find recommended arrival and departure airports, along with suggested timings, in the FAQs below.\n"},{"question":"Which airport should I fly into and out of? Plus airport code.","answer":"Fly into and out of Belize International Airport (BZE). Please book your flight home after 10:30am at the earliest (this is due to the time the water taxi leaves Caye Caulker).\n"},{"question":"Do I need a visa?","answer":"Up-to-date visa and entry information can be found using our official partner, Sherpa, who can help you arrange a visa if needed.\nYou can also find essential travel advice \u2013 including security and local laws, as well as passport and visa information \u2013 on the government website of your home country:\n\nUK residents: review the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) Travel Advice before your adventure.\nUS residents: consult the US Department of State Travel Advice for important travel information.\nAustralian residents: check the Smart Traveler website for up-to-date travel advice.\nResidents of other countries: refer to the travel advice provided by your own government or local consulate.\n\nPlease be aware that passport and visa requirements can change before departure, so it\u2019s important to stay updated with the latest information.\n"},{"question":"What vaccinations and medication will I need? ","answer":"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.\n1. Consult with a healthcare professional\nWe 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.\n2. Up-to-date medical advice\n\nUK residents: visit the NHS Fit For Travel website for the latest medical advice.\nUS residents: check the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website for specialised health information.\nAustralian residents: refer to the Smart Traveler Health website for current medical advice.\n\n3. Government travel advice\n\nUK residents: review the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) Travel Advice before your adventure.\nUS residents: consult the US Department of State Travel Advice for important travel information.\nAustralian residents: check the Smart Traveler website for up-to-date travel advice.\n\n4. Medication tips\nIf you take prescription medication, ensure you bring enough to last the entire adventure, plus a few extra days in case of travel delays.\u00a0Carry a copy of your prescription with you in case you need to visit a clinic while abroad.\nWe hope this information will help you prepare for a safe and healthy adventure.\n"},{"question":"What time should my flight arrive to be in time for the welcome meeting?","answer":"Please try to ensure your flight arrives by 5pm on the first day.\n"},{"question":"What time should my flight depart on the last day?","answer":"We recommend you book a flight departing no earlier than 10am on the last day. The earliest ferry to Belize City departs at 6:30am and takes about an hour. Once you arrive in Belize City, it will take approximately 20 minutes to travel from the port to the airport, and you need to arrive at least two hours before your flight home.\nIf your flight departs later in the day, there are additional ferries every hour, just remember that you will have to check out of your room at 11am.\n"},{"question":"Are airport transfers included?","answer":"If you arrive on Day 1 of your adventure, or you\u2019ve 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\u2019s various flight arrival times, so you may have to wait in the airport for a short while. If you\u2019ve 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.\nHowever, if you\u2019ve booked alternative pre-trip accommodation or are arriving by another mode of transport, you\u2019ll have to arrange your own arrival transfer.\u00a0\nPlease also note: in order to secure your place on the private transfer, you\u2019ll need to provide your flight details to our Customer Experience team no later than 30 days prior to your adventure\u2019s departure date. You\u2019ll get automated email reminders about this, but the team won\u2019t be chasing you. That\u2019s why it\u2019s key to get this information over in good time. If the details are provided later than 30 days pre-departure, you\u2019ll have to arrange your own arrival transfer.\nIn terms of departure from Caye Caulker, you\u2019ll receive a ferry ticket back to the mainland for your onward journey. The ferries operate at set times each day, so please read the previous answer for further details.\n"},{"question":"Are tips included? ","answer":"Please note that tips are not included in the cost of this adventure. Suggested amounts per person are:\n\nPack Leader: 6-10 USD per day\nDriver: 5 USD per day\nLocal 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.\n\nHowever, all tips are at your discretion depending on what you feel comfortable with.\n"},{"question":"If arriving earlier, where should I stay?","answer":"We highly recommend not staying in Belize City. Unfortunately it\u2019s not very safe or walkable, so you\u2019ll be better heading directly to San Ignacio.\n"},{"question":"What is travelling in Belize like? ","answer":"Travellers need to be prepared that things might not always go according to plan in Belize: basic itinerary changes will likely happen and the standard of service might fall short of what you are used to. However, those who love the odd surprise and the charm of visiting places a little different to home will absolutely fall in love with beautiful Belize and its laidback culture.\n"},{"question":"What will the Cassia Hill Resort in San Ignacio be like?","answer":"This eco-friendly property offers comfortable but rustic accommodation that\u2019s been designed to provide a serene escape amongst nature.\nWhile the amenities are modest, each room is equipped with the essentials to ensure a restful stay. Guests can enjoy the tranquil ambiance with lush gardens and scenic views as their backdrop.\nSan Ignacio centre is a short taxi ride away and the resort is well located for all the activities scheduled for this part of your adventure.\n"},{"question":"What do I need to know about the cave visit? ","answer":"The Day 4 visit to Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM) cave isn\u2019t suitable if you\u2019re claustrophobic, or if you aren\u2019t able to swim. This is a real adventure, so you need to be confident wading through chest-height water in a dark cave. The tour lasts for around four hours and requires a moderate to high level of fitness. No cameras are allowed in the cave as it\u2019s a sacred burial site.\n"},{"question":"What are the drive times like? ","answer":"Please be aware that on this trip there will be some early starts and long transfer times. If you suffer from motion sickness, it\u2019s a good idea to bring some anti-nausea pills with you from home.\n"},{"question":"Is there a weight limit for any of the activities? ","answer":"Please note there is a weight limit of 111kg\/245lb for the horseback riding activity on Day 2.\n"},{"question":"How fit do I need to be?","answer":"As long as you\u2019re in good general health and comfortable with moderate physical activity you\u2019ll be fine. The itinerary includes hiking on uneven terrain, swimming in the ATM Cave, climbing ladders and rocks, ascending the steps of the Xunantunich Maya temple, horseback riding, and snorkelling in open water. No technical experience is required, but a reasonable level of fitness and mobility is recommended.\n"},{"question":"Will my itinerary change?","answer":"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 \u2013 but we\u2019ll 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.\n"}],"hotels":[],"wellness_rooms":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.flashpack.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/trip\/158288","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.flashpack.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/trip"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.flashpack.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/trip"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.flashpack.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/142508"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.flashpack.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=158288"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
