I’ll be visiting san pedro soon and I’ve seen golf carts are the main form of transportation however I don’t really drive and wondering if ride shares are a thing on the island?

I've been to Belize before with others. I'm going back solo. I fly into BZE around 6PM and staying in Cayo. Because it's likely to be getting dark I probably shouldn't rent a car, right?

Is it safe to take a taxi that far, alone at night? Any tips on how to stay safe and make sure I don't get driven off course or something crazy? (Mexico taxis made me feel super unsafe as a solo female). Belize never made me feel unsafe but I try to take precautions everywhere.

Thanks all!

unforgettable memories in beautiful Belize.

This will be a business based in Belize. Just want to track employee time, data, and do any tax reporting I may have to do.

Hello - I am arriving in Belize City at 11:15AM tomorrow. Can anyone please guide me what to do when I land, in order to catch a water taxi to San Pedro? Thanks!

We are considering Belize next September. Placencia is where we like to visit. We usually visit in the spring and love the weather. For various reasons we can’t go in the spring next year. My wife googled the weather. It told her it was the rainy season and not a good time to visit.

So what’s it really like in September?

Hello! I’ve always wanted to look for a place to live in Belize but I still don’t know! Unfortunately, the proud Guatemalans say nothing about this country, but I would love to get to know it more and for someone to help me get to know this beautiful independent country that I know has a lot to give!

Hi everyone!

My girlfriend and I will be visiting Belize, and we're planning to take the bus from Belize City to San Ignacio. We're considering having a cab drop us off to have lunch at this restaurant before heading to the bus station, but Google Maps shows a walk of around 15 minutes between the two locations (see screenshot).

Our main question is: Would it be safe to walk this route, especially with our luggage? (1 backpack and 1 small suitcase) Is this an area where you'd feel comfortable walking during the day, or would you recommend taking a taxi instead?

We also have a couple of other questions:

• Bus tickets and timing: We're hoping to catch the 1:00 PM bus to San Ignacio. According to the schedule we found, the previous bus leaves at 9:30 AM, so we're wondering whether the 1:00 PM bus tends to get crowded or fill up. How early would you recommend arriving at the station to buy tickets and make sure we get a seat? We would ideally like to avoid having to wait for the next bus at 1:30 PM.
• Bus fare: We understood that the fare was around BZ$6 per person. Is that still the current price?
• The restaurant: Has anyone been to this restaurant? Would you recommend it, or is there somewhere else nearby you'd suggest?

Any advice from locals or people who have made this trip recently would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I know it is a bit of an odd question, but I am making a video about every American country's biggest accomplishment in association football (soccer) but I have struggled to find any sources in regards to Belizean football.

Has Belize ever had an outstanding performance in any tournament? (men's, women's, youth championships, everything counts) It doesn't have to be at any FIFA World Cup (I'm certain Belize has never qualified), but perhaps a Gold Cup or Pan American Games participation that left a mark.

Currently on our honeymoon, 5 days in. Having a blast in the off season!

Are there any expats reading this who know anything about purchasing a vehicle in Belize?

I'm traveling from Canada and will be in Belize for a while and plan to purchase a truck and ultimately drive it back home to Canada.

From what I've read though it sounds like most vehicles are pretty beat up, and very expensive. The plan is evolving and I'm now more likely to but a truck in Guatemala, but ideally I can make it happen in Belize.

Any tips?

Hi! I want to take a solo trip to Belize for my 30th birthday in a few weeks—I’m thinking on staying 5 nights Sat-Thurs! I want to have a well-rounded experience of beach lounging, water + jungle adventure, cultural experiences, and easy accessibility/walkability.

I’m torn between Placencia and San Pedro. From my research, San Pedro is very touristy while Placencia is a bit slower paced. I’m leaning toward Placencia, I just don’t know if I’ll be able to access all the excursions I want to experience. I’d prefer not to book multiple accommodations. What would you do??? Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone,

I am an Indian citizen currently living/working in the US on a valid, multiple-entry U.S. L1B visa. I am planning a tourist trip to Belize in November 2026 and have been doing a lot of research regarding entry requirements, but I am finding some conflicting information online.

I know that having a valid, multiple-entry US visa generally grants visa-free entry or a visa-on-arrival to Belize, but I have a few specific questions regarding fees especially because I might do a mix of flying and land border crossings via Guatemala.

If anyone with a similar passport/visa situation has made this trip recently, I would love your insight on these specific questions:

1. Repatriation Fee: Some older travel blogs and Wikipedia pages mention an exorbitant "repatriation fee" of BZD 1,200 (~US$600) on arrival for certain nationalities, including India. Does this apply if I hold a valid U.S. L1B visa, or is it completely waived? Is there any repatriation fee when leaving by land to Guatemala or by air back to the USA?
2. Arrival Fees: Are there any official entry fees or charges when arriving by flight from the USA, or when crossing the land border from Guatemala into Belize?
3. Departure Tax via Air: What is the current departure tax when flying out of Belize (BZE) back to the USA? Is this usually bundled into the airline ticket price, or do I need to pay it in cash at the airport?
4. Departure Tax via Land: What is the exact departure tax when exiting Belize via the land border into Guatemala? I read it’s around BZD 40 (US$20) can someone confirm if this must be paid strictly in cash?
5. Land vs. Air Rules: Do any visa requirements or entry permissions change depending on whether I fly into Belize versus crossing over by land from Guatemala?

I want to make sure I have the correct amount of cash on hand and don't encounter any surprises at immigration. Any recent experiences or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much in advance!

I'm looking to book an excursion that requires a flight from San Pedro to Belize City on a Saturday. The company is advising not to book on a Saturday because flights can be difficult for that day. Has anyone had any issues with the short flight on Saturdays?

I had the pleasure of guiding this wonderful family on a hike at Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, also known as the Jaguar Preserve. We enjoyed the beautiful rainforest, fresh air, and the experience of exploring nature together....

We will be new to San Pedro and Ambergris, but not Belize, visiting some time in late January or early February (we have flexibility). For background, we first visited Belize in 2019 and loved everything about it. We've spent time in San Ignacio, Bullet Tree Falls, Placencia and Caye Caulker over the years. We bought a place in Caye Caulker 1 1/2 years ago and have spent the bulk of our time there. We've done many of the main attractions on the mainland and have snorkeled several times.

CC is definitely our speed but we would like to finally check out San Pedro. We understand it will be much busier and more touristic. We plan to take the ferry over one morning, spend a night, and return the following afternoon.

I'm interested in local recommendations, both in town as well as farther out on Ambergris. I know there will be many more golf carts there than CC but we're willing to rent one to explore the island. Not interested in things like Secret Beach - CC has a couple of nice spots that are way lesser known if we want beach.

I know there will be lots more restaurants, nightlife, etc. than CC. Any recommendations for off-the-beaten path, interesting things to do?
