Plan pickup for when you reach San Pedro
Choose your water taxi operator and use the date and time you expect to arrive in San Pedro on Ambergris Caye. Leave a margin for disembarking, collecting luggage and meeting Rio. Your mainland departure time is not your cart pickup time.
Delivery is free. Rio helps with luggage and can drive you to your destination. Share your passenger count and bag count so the team can agree a practical handover. Check current routes and sailing times with your operator; Rio does not book the water taxi journey.
Belize Express Water Taxi arrivals
Rio’s office is at Belize Express Terminal Water Taxi in San Pedro. Select Belize Express Water Taxi for your arrival, or Rio Office if you are arranging to collect the cart at the office. Confirm the exact handover spot and time with Rio before traveling.
Add your sailing details and accommodation name to your arrival notes. Keep your reservation reference and a reachable phone number handy, and tell Rio if a delayed sailing changes your expected arrival.
Caribbean Sprinter Water Taxi arrivals
Select Caribbean Sprinter Water Taxi in your request and share your expected arrival in San Pedro. Confirm the terminal meeting point directly with Rio rather than assuming the handover is at the Rio office.
If you prefer to meet at your accommodation, choose Hotel and enter its name. Discuss luggage, access needs and the meeting time with the team before arrival. Choosing an operator does not by itself confirm the handover arrangements.
Your arrival checklist
Four-seat carts accommodate up to four people and six-seat carts up to six, counting the driver and children. Passenger seats do not describe suitcase space. Bring your valid driver’s licence and reservation reference.
- Choose the correct water taxi operator and San Pedro arrival date.
- Share your sailing details, passenger count and bags.
- Agree the meeting point and pickup time with Rio before traveling.
- Check the cart, fuel level and controls with the team at handover.
Review your quote, then confirm
Daily and weekly public prices are base rental only. Required charges apply. Send your request to see the full quote immediately; a private link also follows by email. Review the total and rental conditions, then accept on the page or through the emailed link to confirm.
A request alone is not a confirmed reservation. No online payment or card details are collected. Pay the accepted total at the Rio office or pickup.
Leave time for your departing water taxi
Choose the return location and time for your departure plans. Allow for the cart handover, luggage and your operator’s check-in requirements before the sailing. Agree any different return terminal with Rio in advance.
- Return the cart with the same fuel level as at pickup.
- Contact Rio before the agreed return time if you need to discuss an extension.
- Update the team if your sailing or accommodation changes.
- Confirm any handover outside the office’s daily 8 AM–9 PM hours; pickup times can be requested 24 hours a day.
