Belize

Before you embark on your adventure, get to know the heart of Belize — a country where vibrant culture, natural beauty, and warm hospitality come together in perfect harmony. Nestled between the Caribbean Sea and lush tropical jungles, Belize is home to world-famous coral reefs, ancient Mayan ruins, and a laid-back island lifestyle that instantly makes you feel at home. English is the official language, the U.S. dollar is widely accepted, and the friendly locals — known as Belizeans — are always ready to share their love for their country. From travel tips to local customs, here’s everything you need to know to make the most of your Belize experience.

  • Your Belize adventure begins the moment you land at Philip S.W. Goldson International Airport (BZE) near Belize City. Getting through customs and immigration is simple if you’re prepared:

    • Fill out an Immigration form ahead of time here.

    • Have your accommodation address ready.

    • Avoid bringing fresh fruits, plants, or more alcohol than allowed.

    • Show your passport (valid for at least 6 months) and your return or onward ticket.

    Money tip: The Belize Dollar (BZD) is fixed at 2 BZD = 1 USD. U.S. dollars are widely accepted — just bring small bills. Credit cards are accepted at most restaurants and hotels, though some may charge a small fee.
