Getting There 

True Nature specializes in curating and offering the best retreat experiences. For your flights, we recommend that you use Google Flights or a trusted travel agency. 

You will be flying into Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport (BZE) in Belize City. From BZE, you will take a short connecting flight (approximately 15-20 minutes) to Dangriga Airstrip (DGA). Upon arrival in Dangriga, there will be a boat transfer (approximately 25 minutes) directly to the center.

Boat transfers to the island operate at specific times and are highly dependent on flight arrivals to Dangriga. Before booking tickets, please be sure you have received your official confirmation note that the retreat has met its minimums.

Travel Insurance

We cannot emphasize more the importance of travel insurance. As we all know, especially as travelers, “life happens.” Whether it’s family, work, mother nature, or a change of heart, it is important to be prepared in case you need to unexpectedly change your travel plans. Often for less than $150, you can purchase a travel insurance policy and be protected in the event that you need to make a change or need to be covered financially prior to or during your trip. 

We have partnered with Trawick International (available for U.S. Residents only). Read more about their policies here. We encourage you to research the insurance company and policy that best meets your needs.
