Exploring Belize with No Barriers

Belize is well connected by domestic flights, and these can be a quick and convenient way to get around the country. Domestic flights allow you to comfortably travel from one destination to another, as well as see a good bit of scenery along the way. These small airplanes often fly low, and passengers will enjoy awesome views of the coast, jungle, and Belize Barrier Reef during a flight.

Make your vacation in Belize a true stay in paradise. Book your accommodations at White Horse Guest House, and enjoy a home away from home. Access the beach and Hopkins village on foot, bicycle, or golf cart. Spend each day living the country's motto: Go slow.

The second largest barrier reef system in the world, the Belize Barrier Reef, is a sight to behold.

If you want the flexibility to determine your travel route and timeline, private transport shuttles are your best bet. These shuttles will transport you to all mainland destinations in Belize, and do it on your schedule.

Tikal is a highly doable day-trip from San Ignacio, and this all-day excursion ensures that you don’t miss out on seeing one of the most spectacular ruins left behind by the Maya. This is an all-day tour, and includes a stop for lunch. Join your guide for an exciting trek to the jungle, which with any luck will include sightings of some incredible wildlife – keep an eye out for the famous resplendent quetzals and their tremendous tail feathers. Sightings of monkeys and birds will continue once you arrive, and you’ll get to watch jungle animals skitter up and down the stony faces of the many temples.

Shared shuttles are a comfortable, convenient, and economical way to travel around Belize. These shuttles typically use minibuses that can hold 8 to 16 people. The shuttles provide door-to-door service, picking you up from a hotel in your original destination and dropping you off at a hotel in your final destination. If you're staying somewhere outside the main part of town, however, you may have to take a taxi to your hotel; this can be arranged beforehand.
