Belize To Honduras Ferry Guide 2025: Schedule & Prices

Traveling between Belize & Honduras is possible by ferry. While uncommon, it's a very quick way of hopping countries in just over two hours instead of passing through Guatemala first.

This quick guide will lay out exactly what you need to know: the ferry schedule, exact prices, terminal locations, ferry crossing tips, and border fees to be aware of for this border crossing.

If you are considering doing this ferry border crossing, please keep in mind that the ferry is located in Mango Creek which is about half a day of travel by bus from Belize City. The ferry departs Placencia first in case that's in your travel itinerary as well.

Honduras To Belize (Step By Step)

  1. If you're in Honduras, you're likely coming from San Pedro Sula. It takes a little over an hour to get to Puerto Cortés.
  2. The ferry terminal in Puerto Cortés is located near a restaurant bar called El Delfin and is found behind the fish market.
  3. Look for the boat and ticketing office and remember it only travels during the week and not weekends.
  4. The ferry ticket should include transportation as far as Hopkins or Dangriga. Just verify in case that's your destination.
  5. You can pay in USD dollars but they have to be crisp dollars.
  6. Despite being told that you have to be two hours early, it will likely be unnecessary since the only task is to get your passport exit stamped which takes about 10 minutes.
  7. The complete journey will take about 2.5 hours and upon getting off the boat, you will go through immigration and customs.
