Bus was late and arrived an hour later than expected which meant we missed the only ferry for the day to Caye caulker

The bus terminal is a little unclear, but go and ask all the drivers if this is your bus and you'll find it. The ADO bus itself was super comfortable, relaxing and a really easy trip. A clean toilet and even mute buttons overhead for the TV they have playing. Definitely the way to go for comfort.

Fast and chill ride. Air conditioning the whole time. BRING A BLANKET OR SWEATSHIRT! Very quick and enjoyable ride. Made it to my destination 20 minutes ahead of schedule. Clean, quick, affordable, safe. Don’t do taxis or Uber… give ADO a try.
