Travelers who leave home without researching their destinations miss out on so much! You needn’t be a Rhodes Scholar to undertake that research, but having tips on where to go and what to do not only make getaways more enjoyable, but more personal, educational, and exciting.
These 8 helpful tips will get you off to a great start.
1. Congratulate yourself on choosing a nation of English speakers! Not only will you converse with Belizeans on a more personal level, but you won’t get lost either. Your brain will appreciate your destination choice too since you won’t have to rely upon a language app to get you through the day.
2. Get on island time as soon as you arrive. The laid-back vibe that pervades the entirety of Belize is palpable and real, offering you centeredness and calmness you likely don’t enjoy back home as life sweeps you up into a vortex of activity that makes days speed by.
3. Take advantage of the world’s best aquatic sports. The coast of Placencia hosts Central America’s most beautiful beaches from which all marine adventures originate — especially those in proximity to Belize’s barrier reef. From snorkeling and diving to sailing, swimming, kayaking, and fishing, you’ll feel you’ve arrived in Valhalla minus the Vikings and winter weather!
4. Experience so many wildlife habitats, you could stop visiting zoos. Belize is home to endangered and protected species that make their homes on land and by sea. You could spot a jaguar, ocelots, cougars, jaguarundi, manatees, tapir, macaws, toucans, Howler monkeys, sea turtles, and friendly sharks during your stay. The number of tours available to tourists eager to see as much wildlife as possible are extensive.
5. No currency dilemmas! Remember when Europe was awash in currencies and every time you crossed a border you had to memorize a new exchange rate? Relax. In Belize, you can use U.S. dollars and the exchange rate is so simple, kids remember it: $1USD = $2BZD.
6. The sun is always shining in tropical Belize, even when it’s cloudy! Wear sun blockers. When out and about, enjoy the locals and know the way back to your home in Belize, just like you would do at your native home.
7. Visiting Belize without touring Maya ruins is sacrilege! The nation is home to around 900 ancient sites that range from starter digs to cities once home to thousands of Mayas. To find out which ones are most likely to delight you during your stay, view this information and ask staff to book your tours.
8. Enjoy your time in paradise. See what you will find at Chabil Mar the moment you arrive. Located on the Placencia peninsula, guests enjoy access to top tourism sites, quaint towns, and bountiful amenities. Take advantage of Belize vacation packages and specials and count on your host to make your visit the vacation of a lifetime.
