English-speaking Belize is unique - a cocktail of Creole, British colonial, ancient Mayan, Mennonite and Spanish cultures. It is a tiny country - a little larger than Wales – and this makes it very easy to sample its natural and cultural attractions in a short space of time. In our opinion, it all makes for a great family holiday destination.
The coast is unmistakably Caribbean – laidback people, swaying palm trees, turquoise seas, pulsating reggae rhythms and rum punch.
Belize has the world’s second largest barrier reef and offer tremendous snorkelling and diving. We suggest you stay at one of our favoutite hotels on the mainland such as Turtle Inn in the beach village of Placencia, or at Victoria House on Ambergris Caye, reached by air taxi from Belize City. See our collection of beach hotels and resorts.
Belize has verdant jungle scenery from the lowland forest around Chaa Creek to the beautiful Mountain Pine Ridge. You can kayak along serene rivers, explore mysterious caves or go horse riding. Bird watching is extremely rewarding and there are jaguars to be spotted here if you are lucky (our clients have seen them at Chan Chich Lodge in Orange Walk)..
Belize has numerous fascinating Mayan archaeological sites such as Lamanai, formerly concealed in dense jungle.
A holiday to belize is often combines with a trip to neighbouring Guatemala. We offer tailor-made and escorted group tours.
