An unbelizeable time
“Our tour director, Dinziel, was great and gave us a lot of fascinating info on Belize’s rich culture and history. I loved visiting Tikal, Guatemala. The beaches were so beautiful, the rum was delicious, snorkeling and zip lining was so fun! All you need to have a guaranteed amazing time on this trip is sunscreen and bug spray!”

Memories to last a lifetime!
“I experienced so many new things and met incredible people; I'm walking away with lifelong friends! Dinziel was an amazing Tour Director and had nothing but positivity and energy throughout the whole trip. Cave tubing and the Mayan ruins in Tikal were two of my highlights. Seriously, don't miss out on this trip!!”

Better Belize it
Know before you go
Even though English is the official language of Belize, it’s fun and helpful to try your hand at the second language, Spanish! Try out some of these popular words and phrases:
- Hello: Hola
- How are you? ¿Cómo estás?
- Goodbye: Adiós
- Thank you: Gracias
- Please: Por favor
- How much does this cost? Cuánto cuesta?
- Where is the...?: Dónde está...
- bathroom: el baño
- bus stop: la parada de autobús
- pharmacy: la farmacia
Unlike travel in Europe or even other countries in Latin America, Belize is a country that straddles the jungle and the Caribbean Sea. You won’t find big city experiences here; instead you’ll explore the mysterious ruins of Mayan civilization, snorkel in some of the best reefs in the world, and encounter wildlife at every corner. As you prepare to spend time in this new culture, here are some expert tips to help you understand the ins and outs of Belize and help you live like a true Belizean:
- Cash. Is. King.
- Bugs. Are. Everywhere. Well, not everywhere, but bring your bug spray.
- The Yucatan Black Howler monkey is in Belize, and it’s a monkey… that howls. Prepare your eyes and your ears.
- Throughout Belizean culture, from food to music, you'll find a blend of Creole, Mayan, Mestizo, Garifuna, and Latin influences.
- The pace of life is laidback and unhurried. Think "island time", despite Belize not actually being an island.
You’ll sample a variety of local dishes on your trip, but read on for tips, tricks, and delicacies you must try.
- Rice and Beans: Comes as a stew of coconut milk, red beans, and rice, or served separately
- Johnny Cakes: A savory biscuit with butter, usually for breakfast!
- Cashew and Craboo wine: Wine made from the cashew fruit, not the nut…
- Ceviche: When in Latin America, right??
- Tamales: Squares of cornmeal stuffed with chicken, pork, or beans and vegetables, THEN wrapped in plantain leaves, THEN steamed over open fire, THEN devoured by everyone.
- Belikin Beer: You didn’t think we’d leave out a local beer recommendation, did you?
We plan it all. And then some.
