Ladyville: Airport, Farm Tour and Mangrove Boat Ride

Ladyville offers two distinct starting points for planning a trip: Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport and the Caribbean Shrimp Company. At the airport, the Ladyville Airport Taxi Association operates the taxi service; the farm in Ladyville offers a tour focused on eco-friendly shrimp production, along with other activities. If you are looking for a hotel in Ladyville, you can first consider whether the airport or a visit to the farm’s attractions is more relevant to your trip.

Airport Access and Arrivals

The Ladyville Airport Taxi Association operates the taxi service at Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport in Ladyville. As airport taxi services may change, check the current status locally before your trip. The Caribbean Shrimp Company is also located in Ladyville. According to the company, it is five minutes from Philip Goldson International Airport.

Shrimp Production Farm Tour

The Caribbean Shrimp Company farm tour focuses on eco-friendly shrimp production. Visitors learn about the subject; the tour includes a “Pond Talk & Walk” and the opportunity to catch shrimp themselves. The two parts have different focuses: the tour provides information about production, while visitors can get hands-on by catching shrimp.

Other Farm Activities

A solar-powered boat tour passes through the mangrove forest and is offered for an additional fee. Jungle paintball is also offered at the Caribbean Shrimp Company for an additional fee. Other activities include a saltwater pool with a spiral waterslide. The Caribbean Shrimp Company describes the slide as Belize’s tallest spiral waterslide.

Before making specific plans, check with the provider for current availability of the tours and additional activities, as well as any applicable extra charges.

Tasting as Part of the Tour & Tasting Package

The Tour & Tasting package ends at Captain Hook's Restaurant and includes a sample of fresh organic shrimp prepared in four different ways. The package combines the shrimp theme with a culinary experience. While the farm tour offers insight into production, the tasting focuses on the different ways the shrimp are prepared.

Birdwatching in Ladyville and Belize

Visitors can also watch birds at the farm in Ladyville.

In Belize, Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary is also a prime birdwatching destination. The dry season from November to May is considered the peak season there. During tours lasting one to three hours, visitors are likely to see 20 to 40 different bird species at any time of year. These details complement each other: November to May marks the seasonal peak, while birdwatching is likely possible in other seasons too.

Visitors can rent canoes, bicycles, and horses to explore the area for birdwatching; free trail maps are available at the visitor center. If you plan to use these options, check their current availability locally.
