Ensure you get the full Belizean experience with these can't miss destinations. Belize's hot spots offer everything from the beachfront reggae bars of Placencia Village to the Maya Mountain town of San Ignacio.

Popular destinations don't have to be synonymous with 'tourist traps' — they're 'the best of.' For a sampling of some of Belize's best snorkeling, dining, and local activities, you'll definitely want to add a few of these locales to your travel to-do list.

Top Destinations

Paradise is the golden sands and crystal clear waters of Belize. Your ideal island getaway is waiting for you in tranquil destinations such as the Turneffe Islands and Little Frenchman Caye.

Indulge in an almost endless series of leisurely days and warm, sultry nights dining on remarkably fresh produce. This vacation, you're on island time.

Islands

Belize is more than its beaches; this tropical nation is also home to some remarkably beautiful rainforests. To make the most of your Belizean getaway, go on at least one nature trek.

See Belize rainforest animals on an early morning birdwatching tour; enjoy the lush foliage gracing the grounds of your Belize rainforest resort. Whatever you choose, the cities of Belmopan, Punta Gorda, and San Ignacio are waiting to reveal to you Belize's garden of delights.

Rainforests

Getting outdoors means more than simply heading for the beach. This vacation, plan a Belize nature getaway, and rediscover the peace and tranquility of the natural world.

From snorkeling amongst the coral of Glover's Reef Atoll to trekking through the foothills of the Maya Mountains near the town of San Ignacio, there is plenty of beauty and adventure awaiting you on Belize nature tours.

Nature

Sometimes, only indulgence will do. Book a Belize getaway, and enjoy a little (or a lot) of rest and relaxation on your next vacation. Spend your days lounging in the sands of a Belize island paradise like Ambergris Caye, and your nights sampling the ocean fresh produce of Maya Beach restaurants.

Keep it simple when you lounge by the pool with a paperback, or simply sigh in bliss as you enjoy ocean breezes. Getting around Belize is easy, in fact, some destinations don't even have cars and you'll be enjoying a leisurely stroll or bicycle ride.

Rest & Relaxation

Vacationing in Belize is more than lounging on beaches when you explore 'unique Belize' and go off the beaten path. These locales will allow you to experience 'authentic Belize' and see the places most tourists miss.

Dangriga is Belize's largest coastal city and is chock-full of locals, while Orange Walk has adventure and exploration waiting for you at the New River. These off the beaten path cities aren't just beautiful, they'll make your Belize getaway truly remarkable.

Off The Beaten Path

For the ideal tropical holiday, look no further than a Belize beach getaway. Belize's beach towns are full of sun, sand, and friendly locals. Laid-back villages like Hopkins offer fun in the sun sans pretension; while Little Frenchman Caye is a privately owned island that will give you access to Belize beach resorts.

Belize beach excursions such as kayaking, surfing, and snorkeling will ensure that you don't miss out on the country's crystal clear waters, and get a little exercise without even noticing — after all, it is your vacation.

Beaches

Earn your time at the beach when you start your Belize getaway with a rugged mountain trek. Belize's mountains offer you access to extraordinary views, and the green forests missed by travellers who never leave the sun and sand.

Explore caves and experience Garifuna culture in the town of Punta Gorda. Hike through the Belize Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve for a birdwatching treat. Stay in one of Belmopan's jungle lodges. From ruins to zip lining through rainforests, Belize's mountain ranges offer intrepid travellers a unique adventure.

Mountains

Staying in Belize's cities doesn't have to mean staying in Belize City. Although the country's capital city will certainly have you centrally located, it's far from being your only in town option.

Enjoy the open air markets of Belmopan and treks in San Ignacio, for starters. Wherever you stay, you'll find easy access to beach activities such as snorkeling, archeological tours, or exciting Belize nature tours — and most importantly, clean and comfortable accommodations.

Cities

Ride horses through the jungle, canoe down rivers, and explore local caves! What adventure haven is this? It's beautiful Belize. Known for its pristine beaches and vibrant waters, unbeknownst to many, Belize is a playground for adrenaline junkies.

It's not every vacation that you can say you saw cave dwelling animals and archaeological relics, but you can when you visit Belmopan, Hopkins, and other exciting Belize adventure destinations. Let everyone else enjoy the beach, you're going to spend your next vacation as a tropical explorer!

Belize is a wonderful place for adventures. Scuba divers come from around the world to experience its underwater environment, while spelunkers often rave about the many caves that can be explored on the mainland. The following tours are undoubtedly the most exciting activities in Belize, and they are offered by professional, reputable companies. Safety is prioritized, and all participants will be comfortable and confident during these tours.

Adventure

Belize is a relatively small country, but still encompasses a number of reserves and national parks. Inland, you’ll find protected areas of jungle, where visitors have the chance to spot endangered animals. Near the border with Guatemala, you can visit the Maya Mountain range to tour former Maya territory. Belize’s Caribbean Coast offers ample opportunity for long walks on the beach.

When you take a vacation to Belize, you’ll want to spend as much time as possible in the bright blue waters of the Caribbean. These clear waters make for easy wildlife observation from the boat, although many of these adventures also come with the opportunity to swim and snorkel. Travel inland to see Belize’s rivers, which might lead you to jungle-shrouded Maya ruins. And marine tours don’t just take place on boats – you might jet ski through a mangrove, or float on an inner tube through a wet cave that forms part of the Maya underworld.  



Marine

Belize has one of the most interesting and diverse cultures in South America. You can see their culture in full force during a street festival, or a live music performance, or even in an everyday open-air market. Visit Maya, Kriol, and Garífuna villages to get a little closer to the culture of Belize.
