Any suggestions? Do I arrange a boat now? From the port how long is it to the airport

Hello! I am heading to San Ignacio on Nov 8 in the evening from Belize Airport (BZE). Does anyone want to share a taxi or shuttle? DM me if interested.

I'm planning out a trip for next year. We'll be using the water taxi to get to and from Ambergris Caye. My girlfriend does not like flying and the really small plane freaks her out a bit. How long does it realistically take to get from Ambergris Caye to the airport? From what I read on the the Belize Express website, they say 90 minutes on boat and 25 minutes to the airport. If our fight departs at noon, would taking the 7am water taxi give us enough time to get to the airport and through security? Or is staying in Belize City the last night a safer option?

Hi all! I collect postcards, but I don't have a card from Belize yet. Can someone send me a postcard from there? Maybe someone will be able to send me 1 when they are there?

Thank you in advance!!

(2 girls) we have seven days and wants to split between 4 days in San Pedro and 3 days San Ignacio. We also don’t drive so we want to accommodate for a hotel with a reasonable price as we have to pay for the shuttle back and forth. Any recs, we can’t do sweet songs as it isn’t available on the days we are going neither is black rock. Also do you recommend that we do caye caulker instead of San Ignacio? If so what hotel would be recommended. We did want to have that jungle experience however since we’ve never done it before and have done the beach travel numerous times. Please help us

Hi Friends, I'm looking to book a tour up the river to Lamanai. I've found plenty of companies that offer this tour but they all have transportation (i.e., hotel pickup/drop off) included in their pricing. I'll have a rental car, and therefore don't need that extra transport cost.

Based on previous threads, I gather that I'll want to drive to Orange Walk to meet up with a guide. Does anyone have a recommendation for a tour company that just does the boat and site tour if I get myself to Orange Walk?

Hi there,

Looking for personal injury attorneys in Belize. Please give me your best recommendations, I am an American that was injured on vacation and would like to work with a Belizean attorney.

Thanks!

Hey folks! Am headed to N. San Pedro in a few weeks. Am watching tons of videos and research. Any restaurants that we MUST try? Also will it really rain the whole month of November? So excited!

Any big or small events in town tonight? We'll be the ones dressed as American tourists. Hahaha

Hello! I’ll be traveling from Corozal to san Ignacio next week and I’m looking for advice on the best way to get there. Are there any direct buses or shuttles that people are aware of? Or will I have to go to Belize city first and then bus to san Ignacio, if that’s the case will I be able to do that trip in one day? I’m traveling as a solo female. Thank you to anyone who may have advice :)

I am traveling solo next month (50 something female) and I am renting a car from Belize City and going to San Ignacio. From San Ignacio I am going to Placencia and staying at a cute litle place right on the beach near the barefoot bar.

Here is my dilemma...

I can keep my rental car for the whole week (very expensive) and drive to Belize city or I can possibly drop the car in Placencia when I arrive (and be without a way to get around) and fly back from Placencia to to Belize City. I wanted to possibly stop in Maya Beach (or Hopkins) for a couple of nights for something a little quieter with a pool. Is Maya beach worth all the hassle or should I just stay in Placencia the whole time and possibly just change locations to get a different view? All I want to do is lay on the beach and possibly do a little snorkeling if the beach in front of the hotel is good for that.

I could also drive through Hopkins and Maya on the way to Placencia and stay a couple of nights I just thought it would be nice to end in the quieter place with a pool.

Thanks in advance for any info you all help me out with.

Please be advised that due to elevated river conditions, visitations to the XUNANTUNICH, ACTUN TUNICHIL MUCNAL (ATM), BARTON CREEK, and NOHOCH CH’EEN Archaeological Reserves remain SUSPENDED until further notice.

All other Archaeological Reserves are OPEN.

The Institute of Archaeology continues to monitor and will provide updates as necessary.

Seeing wildlife is a top priority for me when choosing my travel destinations, so it would be a bonus if I could stay somewhere that already has the chance to see some on their property! monkeys, birds, etc.

To be more specific, I plan on staying in the Cayo District area for 4 nights. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

We are traveling to Hopkins Bay Resort with another couple, and wondering what we should plan for or book in advance? Not sure if it's a stay on the property all day and chill kind of location, or if we would really get our fun by getting out in the area every day?

Would you 100% recommend the commuter flights vs. The 2-3 hr drive? Any recommended vendor/drivers?

What are the best nightlife things to do off the property, if any?

Thanks!

Checking in if anyone living out that way has seen any recent rainy weather related reports on ATM Cave.

My friend said he had a great time in Belize but his experience in Belize city made it seem like it’s not necessarily a tourist friendly place yet.. some people tried to rob the bus they were on but the driver just sped away

i’m turning 30 soon and i want to fulfill my lifelong dream of swimming with whale sharks !! where is my best shot at this? any recs on dive shops/boats?

I am looking for recommendations for travel insurance that covers a range of issues such as medical emergency, loss of employment, severe weather, and safety advisories.

Our family is staying at Black Rock this December and looking for recommendations on the best Zipline place and what company we should book through that includes transport.

All thoughts are welcome!

We are planning a trip to Belize. We've decided on splitting our time in Belize between San Ignacio and Ambergris Caye. We are planning excursions in the nearby areas. One of the main things on our list is seeing Tikal and would like to go on a private or group tour. Any recommendations on a tour group from San Ignacio to Tikal?

I’ll be traveling to San Ignacio in a few months, and I was curious how easy it is to get a local taxi in the downtown area. I’ll be staying about a 20 minute walk from downtown and don’t want to chance walking back at night. I’ve seen that there aren’t many sidewalks and I don’t want to get hit.

Thanks in advance!

I saw these 5 apparently abandoned holdings on the south end of Ambergris. What’s the story?

Has anyone stayed at the Alexandria Marquis Boutique Hotel in San Ignacio? It seems pretty new and there are almost no reviews for it anywhere. Also, has anyone done zip lining or cave tubing with Belize Caves & Limpkin Tours? I think we are going to book with them but would love to hear about experiences with them if possible.

Hello, my girlfriend is in Dangriga where she works as an RN. What we eventually want is for her to come to the United States but until then I was wondering what employment looks like for Americans in Belize. Am I better off getting a remote position US based or finding something here. I have my MBA and have experience in management. Specifically, management in insurance sales and account management.

Any input will help

I'm traveling to Belize (San Pedro then San Ignacio then Placencia) in about a week. The weather forecast says rain and thunderstorms. Is it usually rainy all day long? Wondering if I should reschedule. My wife and I were looking for some fun in the sun- lounging by pools and scuba snorkeling. Seems the weather is putting a damper on our plans
