Booked a group of friends and strictly Belize took care of all our details. They got us great hotel on the beach and each we did an activity at least those of us that would leave the beach. My favorite was the horse back riding in the jungle and then learning garifuna drumming. My sister was in dreamland with the food that we ate. We had endless fruits fresh daily and there was an abundance of organic food. Every detail was considered and I give props to strictly Belize from the begging to the end of an amazing trip See more..

- Awesome

If you like garden, tropical plants, nature, this is for you. Better to be organised early morning or late afternoon when the sun is not too strong. Nice stroll in this tropical garden led by a really friendly lady who lives there. Great discussion to get a bit of insight of the life in Crooked tree village. If you visit the village then do stop here. 20usdpp is well worth it See more..
4.5 The Belize Zoo (1.876 reviews)

Thursday: 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Nature & Wildlife Areas • Zoos

The Belize Zoo is an institution that cares for over 150 native wildlife, and promotes Conservation, Education, Recreation, and Research. It is also the first nature destination in Belize that is accessible to visitors with physical disabilities. We are committed to the conservation of Belize's wildlife and its habitats through the establishment of a well maintained zoological facility and education center, both poised to bring about a greater environmental awareness to the people living in Belize, and to visitors from abroad. In 2014, the Zoo became the first nature destination in the country accessible to persons with physical disabilities. TBZ believes that by bringing the people closer to the animals, which are their natural heritage, they will feel proud of these special resources, and wish to protect them for future generations. All Zoo "residents" were once pets; donated to the Zoo; rescues found injured, abandoned or orphaned and brought in rehabilitation; or born at the Zoo. The Belize Zoo receives no financial support from the Government of Belize, and generates funding to care for its residents through admission fees, tours, donations, and adoption and membership programs.

4.5 Altun Ha (876 reviews)
- Awesome Altun Ha
Spent < 1 hour Ancient Ruins

During my May 2022 back to back cruises, I visited 3 real Mayan sites and 1 fake site. Of the 3 real Mayan sites, I enjoyed this one the most. Unlike the other 2 real sites (San Gervasio and Chocchoban), you can climb the temples here. Climbing them gives you some great views of site though they're not an easy climb. There were wooden railings on the Sun Temple site but, you still had to be careful with your footing. Another plus was the shops close by. They weren't pushy to sell you stuff and Jungle Lab Cafe had a decent assortment of drinks which helped keep me hydrated. I really enjoyed this site and would recommend it to folks who want to see some real Mayan architecture. See more..
4.5 Altun Ha & The Olde Belize River (381 reviews)

The Mayan Ruins are easily accessible from the cruise port with a tour. The 45-minute drive to the site allows an opportunity to see some of the city and the countryside. The ruins themselves are fun to explore, to climb, and are very picturesque. Between the entrance to the ruins there are clean, accessible restrooms, and a nice little shopping area with a great atmosphere. There are a couple of open-air cafes, too, to get a beer and light meal. Overall, this is a fun experience. See more..

4.5 Billy Barquiedier National Park (24 reviews)
- Challenging hike to the lookout with a waterfall finish!
Thursday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM National Parks • Parks

Be sure to stop and do these 2 hikes. The first is a challenging “straight up” hike to a valley lookout. This hike is steep and challenging so you will earn your waterfall swim afterward. Then go to the waterfall for a quick chilly swim – so refreshing after the lookout hike. The rangers are super friendly and helpful. See more..
4.5 Mesoamerican Reef (Belize Barrier Reef) (15 reviews)
- Belize Barrier Reef is the best snorkeling in Central America
Reefs

I have never experienced such a beautiful underwater world. Snorkeling off Caye Caulker, Tobacco Caye, and from the edge of a sailboat, you can see dozens of aquatic species such as eagle rays, nautilus, incredible tropical fish, nurse sharks, and more. Taking the Ragamuffin sailboat tours out into the Reef was an amazing opportunity to have unforgettable experiences and make life long friends. The two times I visited Belize last spring, I lived in the magical underwater world countless hours each day, and I'd go back in a heart beat. Just DON'T STEP ON THE REEF so we can preserve it for other generations to experience too! See more..

- We arrived.
Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks • Monuments & Statues

4.0 Ocean Ferry Belize (304 reviews)
- Use it and Save yourself a few bucks!
Spent More than 3 hours Ferries

Both ferry companies offer similar services but Ocean Ferry is Cheaper!. A few less times on the schedule available with Ocean Ferry but the boats and travel times are identical. Porters were terrific and I would say that at least 50% of the traveler had luggage so they are very accustom to handling baggage. See more..
