Easier Travel Between Orange Walk Town and San Pedro

It is becoming a more popular trend for travelers to split their Belize vacations in two and spend part time in Ambergris Caye or Caye Caulker and part time in one of the mainland districts. A short 20 minute flight from Ambergris, Orange Walk Town (soon to become 3 times daily) is a great option for a few reasons. It’s close proximity to Laminai ruins, they make the best tacos and it is pretty cool landing right beside a massive sugar cane field.

The additional flight will also benefit the business community as well. The current morning flight is great for anyone doing business to/from either location but the early afternoon flights meant either a short work day or an overnight stay. Upcoming “end of day” flight will be perfect for the business traveler.

Tropic Air Adds Flights to the Orange Walk – San Pedro Route

Tropic Air just announced a substantial investment for travelers and Orange Walk customers, a new increase in air service between Orange Walk and San Pedro to three times a daily, effective November 15th, 2017. Currently, flights run twice a day, and this new flight will fulfill the often requested evening service.

“When we launched scheduled Orange Walk service on December 15th, 2011, we also promised that we would grow the route. We are now doing so. Orange Walk (Tower Hill) is an integral part of the network for Tropic Air, and as we carry more passengers to, from, and within Belize, we feel it important that we expand locally to reflect our confidence in the growth of the domestic marketplace.” – John Greif III, President of Tropic Air
