Detaljer vid ankomsten
Our conservation dive trips are Monday thru Friday – we depart for our island at 9:30am on Monday from Placencia, Belize and return to the mainland (Placencia) on Friday anywhere from 10am-12pm depending on ocean navigability. Volunteers must schedule arrival and departure in and out of Placencia, Belize either on a Saturday or Sunday.
Weekend Accommodations
All volunteers will need to book a hotel or hostel in Placencia upon their arrival and departure on a Saturday or Sunday. Those staying multiple weeks will need weekend accommodations on the mainland Friday night thru Sunday night in between their weeks with us on the island. So with ReefCI you get the best of both worlds. An amazing marine conservation volunteering experience Monday thru Friday on a private Caribbean island on the Belize Barrier Reef and the weekends on the mainland exploring all Belize has to offer. From ancient ruins, jungles and nature expeditions, spelunking, repelling, ziplining, cave and river tubing, to cultural tours; there is something for everyone on the weekends. You are guaranteed a trip of a lifetime in Belize!
Flights to Placencia, Belize
All volunteers will fly into Belize’s only
international airport - Belize International Airport (BZE) which is located in
Belize City. From there, you will make a
connection flight to Placencia, Belize via a small hopper plane. The short hopper flights typically provide
around 9 daily flights on the weekends to and from Belize International Airport
and Placencia. There are two airline companies that operate
hopper flights in Belize. Tropic Air and Maya
Island Air –google them
to search flight times and prices. All volunteers must schedule arrival and departure on a Saturday or Sunday. We will depart for the island on Monday from Placencia, Belize at 9:30am and return on Friday to Placencia anywhere from 10am-12pm.
