Travel and transport agencies Hopkins

It's an understatement to say that Hopkins isn't bursting at the seams with public transport traffic. A bus leaves for Dandriga Monday to Saturday at 7 a.m. and 2 p.m., and only at 2 p.m. on Sundays. If you want to reach Placencia, ask to stop at the intersection of the main road from Dandriga to Punta Gorda; from there, many buses run directly to Placencia or drop you off at Independence to catch the ferry. From Placencia, there is a direct bus to Dandriga via Hopkins at 10.30 am and 5.30 pm. Ask locally for timetables.

Emma Cases is the owner of this motorcycle rental business. As well as reliable equipment, Emma can give you invaluable advice on the best routes in the country. Her site is also full of ideas for motorcycle tours. Your French driving license is sufficient to drive a motorcycle in Belize (365 days validity). However, for insurance reasons, you cannot leave the country with a motorcycle rented here.

The team at this agency is responsive and professional, and the vehicles are in good condition. It's the only agency in Hopkins offering such a wide choice of all-terrain vehicles, sedans and even minivans, ideal for a family trip. The agency even offers the possibility of leaving the vehicle in another city (for an extra charge, of course) at the end of the rental period. Renting in Hopkins means you don't have to worry about a car while you're at the beach, as Hopkins isn't very big and can be explored on foot.

The Swedish Emma Cases is the passionate owner of this facility offering the rental of buggys and golf cars to move to Hopkins only. You must rent the vehicle at least for 2 hours and can be deposited at your hotel free of charge. Practical and fun.
