Exodus Water Taxi from San Pedro to Corozal and Sarteneja

Exodus Water Taxi from San Pedro to Sarteneja and Corozal

My editor Shirlee decided to try the newish water taxi and wanted to share her experience for travelers wanting to go between San Pedro to Corozal or make a stop at Sarteneja. Personally I would rather fly however, there are some people who are scared of smaller planes and opt to travel by boat when in Belize. Some people just want a fun boat ride because flying is not an easy option where they live.

Exodus Water Taxi

Exodus Water taxi began operations on October 22, 2019. It runs opposite of the Thunderbolt schedule, meaning it leaves San Pedro at 7:00 am and returns from Corozal at 3:00 pm, stopping in Sarteneja both ways. Below is the Exodus boat, Sabrina docked in Corozal.

Different from the Thunderbolt, however, Exodus utilizes the International Water Taxi Terminal in San Pedro. I arrived at approximately 6:20 because I wasn’t sure how many others would be on the boat and I wasn’t exactly sure of the procedures. It was still so new that the guy who meets people outside of the building to take the luggage and to tell you where to go immediately asked me for my passport. When I informed him I was only going to Corozal, he and said, “ Oh, I don’t need your passport then. Ha, I guess I should have asked that first”.

The Exodus staff were sitting outside as well and were easily recognizable by their shirts. I got my ticket and proceeded inside the terminal. Everyone must pay a BZD 2.00 “facility fee” – basically for washroom use. They take your ID, your name is typed on the receipt, and you’re asked you to keep it available.

All that only took a few minutes, so I had plenty of time to walk around the departure area and snap some photos.

7:00 am came and went, and they didn’t call us to the boat. The Captain seemed to be waiting for something, which in fact, he was. At about 7:06, a lady in a uniform who works for the terminal walked toward the boat with a clipboard in her arms and shouted that is was boarding time for passengers to Corozal.

As I walked towards the boat, the lady asked for me to bring out my receipt, which she checked again before I boarded.

The boat is quite a bit smaller than the Thunderbolt. The seats are the long bench type along the wall on each side of the boat. They don’t have any cushions, which is a little hard on the touche. The round trip fare is $85.00 BZD.

Exodus doesn’t have a booth set up in Corozal Town, but it’s still easy enough to buy a ticket (with ID) at the dock. I like that on weekends when school is out there is a young boy that plays music. Most of the songs were in Spanish, it was awesome to hear him as we left Corozal. I usually watch a downloaded Netflix movie when I travel, but this time I took the headphones out of my ears and listened to the music.

You can find Exodus Water Taxi on Facebook. Their local number is 634-9178

The two-hour trip is just slightly shorter in length because the Exodus boat can go through the cut by the old Aquafina (now Turtle Island), which cuts off about 7 minutes from the Thunderbolt route.

Love Taco Girl Blog @LaurieNorton! I've been reading this blog since I started visiting Ambergris Caye in Belize almost... 10 years ago. It is filled with helpful up-to-date information and recommendations that I wouldn't necessarily find on my own. Laurie Norton's knowledge and extensive network on the island provides her with the ability to share perks/discounts/coupons with her readers, which come in handy year after year. Things on the island change daily - new businesses pop up constantly and LaurieNortonstays on top of these developments. Whenever I plan my return trip to the island, I always check her blog first - and I recommend you do the same. Trip Advisor ain't got nuttin' on Taco Girl!read more

Laurie's blog is my official “go to” source for tourist and local information on San Pedro. Of course, it’s always nice... to see her guides on “what to do” in San Pedro, but I also appreciate her “insider” advice and human interest stories on what it’s like living as a local on the island. There is so much information it's amazing! Thank you Laurie!!!read more

I’m so pleased to see tacogirl's blog on Google. Laurie's blog is my official “go to” source for tourist and local... information on San Pedro. Of course, it’s always nice to see her guides on “what to do” in San Pedro, but I also appreciate her “insider” advice and human interest stories on what it’s like living as a local on the island. I especially enjoy her guest articles, providing a different perspective of all things San Pedro. Her tipping quide is a classic, and don’t forget her Tropic Air flight code and on-island discounts. You’re not up-to-date with what’s going on in San Pedro if you’re not regularly reading tacogirl's blog.read more

Do yourself a favor. Read this BEFORE any trip to San Pedro - Ambergris Caye or Belize in general. Not saying “do what... everyone else says”, but Laurie has frank and honest info which will make your stay in country a little more fun, a little more informative, and often at a great cost savings. Best thing: it’s unbiased, honest, and factual. Personal note: thank you for your personal tailored help in answering mine (and my wife’s) questions.read more

Taco Girl (Laurie) is amazing. She has so much knowledge about Belize and has great connections with many of the... businesses in Belize. Because of her connections she is able to offer many perks and discounts that you wouldn't have been able to find otherwise. She is super responsive and I always go to her for all my travel needs. From golf cart rentals, to spas, to places to eat. She's got the inside scoop on all!read more
