Amazing coral reefs and wildlife! You can do a quick local trip to Hol Chan Marine Reserve to either snorkel or scuba and then stop by Shark Ray Alley. Or spend a longer day going to the Great Blue Hole or surrounding reefs like Turneffe Atoll. We recommend: -Reef Adventures and Dive Tours

FAQs
Question
General Info
Answer
- When arriving in Belize, the planes deboard from both the back and the front, so snag a seat in the back to get ahead in the customs line! - There are almost no cars on the island, everyone gets around in golf carts. - The national language in Belize is English - They use US outlets, so no need for converters - They accept both US dollars and Belizean dollars, exchange rate is about 2:1 (Belize:US) - Credit Cards are accepted most places - If something is spicy, it's SPICY - If you want to buy bottles of liquor, we would suggest buying at the Belize City Airport in the dutyfree store. Imported liquor (like Crown Royal) is about 22$ in duty free and about 80-100$ on the island. Local liquor, however, is about the same price.
Question
Do I need to get a visa or fill out any forms to enter Belize?
Answer

Question
Is the water safe to drink?
Answer
The water in the hotels are filtered(safe for showering, brushing teeth, etc) but generally they recommend drinking bottled water. If you bring a reusable water bottle the hotel has a water cooler in the lobby you can refill with.
