Taxis, rentals and tours in Placencia
Placencia is the village at the tip of a long, narrow peninsula in southern Belize, with the sea on one side and a lagoon on the other. Ryde books licensed taxis along the peninsula, lists golf carts and cars from local rental companies, and brings Placencia's tours into the same app.
Coming January 1, 2027
Taxis in Placencia
The Placencia Airstrip, the Sun & Sand and Top Value supermarkets and your own door are all pickups you can choose, from the village up to Seine Bight and Maya Beach. See the fare before you book. The whole fare goes to your driver.
Golf cart and car rental in Placencia
A golf cart is the easy way up and down the peninsula, and a car is the way to get off it, to Hopkins, Cockscomb or the Southern Highway. Choose your dates and compare each vehicle's all-in price. Rental companies are joining Ryde now: open Book to see who is listed.
Tours from Placencia
Laughing Bird Caye and the Silk Cayes are the reef trips people ask for, whale sharks come to Gladden Spit in season, and the Monkey River trip is the one for howler monkeys. Tours on Ryde are run by licensed local operators: you ask for a day, the operator confirms, and you pay them on the day.
Getting to Placencia
Placencia is reached by a road off the Southern Highway, on a small plane to its airstrip, or by the Hokey Pokey water taxi from Mango Creek across the lagoon.
Questions
Can I get a taxi from the Placencia airstrip?
Yes. The airstrip is one of the pickups you can choose, and the fare shows before you book.
Do I need a golf cart in Placencia?
The village itself is a walk. For Seine Bight, Maya Beach and the far end of the peninsula, a cart helps.
Can I get a Ryde taxi from Placencia to Hopkins or Dangriga?
Yes. Ryde books from one town to another on the mainland, and shows the fare before you book.
When does Ryde open?
January 1, 2027.
