Over the course of 10 days I visited some of Belize's most popular tourist spots and learned why it is a traveler favorite. From beach to jungle this tiny country packs a punch for any budget, interest and trip duration. Come along to learn why EVERYONE should take a chance on Belize.
Relaxing in a hammock (Jessica Liles)I've never been very good at going on vacation. I think this is a common malady for us westerners, our pocket Google-boxes give us access to work and home emails even as we sit sipping a rum drink thousands of miles away. Especially working as a trip planner my mind is always buzzing on vacation, trying to remember how long the flight took, are there a lot of taxi's around, what is the situation with money. It can be a little difficult for me to enjoy the moment and really soak it all in. Belize gave me just the reprieve I was looking for.
Though wifi is widely available throughout the country and I could have easily plugged in and kept my mind running with mental notes, the whole feel of Belize encourages you to stop and enjoy. Part of this has to do with how very easy travel in Belize actually is. Because the country relies so heavily on tourism for the local economy Belize is built for ease.
What is the situation with money? USD and Credit Cards widely accepted. Easy Peasy
How do I communicate? National language is English. Done
Where should I go to eat? Literally anywhere - okay, I'll expand on this in another post, but really its hard to go wrong.
How do I get around? 15-20 minute flights link up most sections of the country with numerous departures per day or if you're not going to far, catch one of the numerous taxis. No problem
The best part of Belize is just how easy everything felt. I didn't spend much time worrying about my excursions or pick up times because just being in Belize felt like a breath of fresh air. I was so busy enjoying each moment that I often even forgot to take pictures or any notes at all and I hope that is everyone's experience when they visit Belize. Sit back, relax and enjoy - you know you want to.

The trip booking process was smooth and easy due to the trip planners' courteous, quick assistance. I made inquiries at pretty much the 11th hour for a particular trip date, and the planners were able to respond promptly with a customized itinerary that alleviated a concern I had about a particular day trip. Thank you, Adventure-Life trip planners for your help!

They have good first hand experience with the locations and excursions. All the guides they have arranged for us are super knowledgeable, personable, and great. The group excursions they arrange for us are almost always a very small group, often just us.
