Getting from San Pedro to Chetumal

According to Ambergris Daily, new options are coming to San Pedro for getting to Mexico.  Currently San Pedro Water Taxi and San Pedro Express both provide service to Chetumal.  Tropic Services is a new water taxi service that will supposedly be starting soon (“soon” being a very relative term).

With that much competition the options are likely to be excellent in terms of both schedule and pricing in the long term.  If any of the resorts slated to be built on the north end of the island actually come to fruition, there could be additional routes/schedules opened as traffic demands.  This is good news for getting to and from Mexico for shopping, but also great news for when the Tulum airport opens as more options will be available for both tourists and locals alike.

Round trip to Chetumal via San Pedro Water Taxi is US $60.00, leaving at 8:00 a.m. and returning at 3:00 p.m.  San Pedro Express is the same price, but departing 7:30 a.m. and coming back at 3:30.
