Instead of taking a bus or a van to Punta Gorda, which I'm sure would have taken more than just a few hours, we opted to go for the more expensive and less time consuming water taxi/ferry/boat.
There are a couple companies that will provide this service for you at different times during the day. They leave from either Puerto Barrios or Livingston, Guatemala and range from 40 to 50 Belize dollars (approximately 150 to 200 quetzales) , depending on the company and if you buy a round trip ticket.
- Requena's leaves Puerto Barrios at 2pm and Punta Gorda at 9am daily.
- Transportes El Chato leaves Puerto Barrios at 10am and Punta Gorda at 2pm daily.
- Memo's Boat Service leaves Puerto Barrios at 3pm and Punta Gorda at 1pm daily.
- Marisol leaves Puerto Barrios at 1pm and Punta Gorda at 4pm daily.
- Ausugena leaves Livingston at 7am and Punta Gorda at 10am on Tuesdays and Fridays only.
There is no need to make a reservation, unless (from what I've read) you have a whole boat load of people.
If the water is calm, you can reach the other country in about an hour. If it is rough, it takes about two hours.
