Hey all,

I am looking to take a trip at the beginning of December for 10 days. I am going to a wedding in Riviera Maya on the 1st and I was planning on staying for a couple days and visiting the beaches and local Mayan Ruins. I was going to take a bus from there to Belize and stay a few days there and then fly into Costa Rica to finish off the trip. I need some help/advice.

Is this too much to do in a short time and if so should I go to Belize or Costa Rica? I also wanted some information on…

Hi All,

I'm heading to Caye Caulker in a couple of weeks time. I'll be coming from Tulum, Mexico, and traveling overland on a budget. What is the best/fastest/cheapest way to get there? I was thinking of crossing the border at Chetumal and then taking a bus to Belize City, before getting a boat out to the Cays. Is it possible/faster to get a boat from further North near the border? Chetumal or Corozal perhaps? I want to avoid Belize City at all costs, and definitely don't want to spend a…

Hi there -

In December, my girlfriend and I are ending our tour of Belize in Orange Walk, before heading north to Maya Riviera for some relaxation.

What are the least expensive ways to get from Orange Walk to Maya Riviera?

I presume we will need to head down to Belize City and make our way up from there.

I came across a new bus company, ADO, which can take us from Belize City to Playa Del Carmen for less than $100. This sounded perfect, but the site either was working or didn't have a bus…

Hello,

I'm looking for quality scuba diving experiences. Has anyone done scuba diving in Belize, and if so, how is it? I'm reading that it may be expensive due to transportation costs to get to scuba worthy sites, and that those sites aren't close to Caye Caulker. Also, the reviews on the diving there seem to be mixed. Does anyone have any experience they can share?

My main purpose in visiting Belize would be for scuba. If that is the case, what is your opinion. Is it worth it?

My main trip…

Hi Lonely Planet!

I'm wondering if anyone can advise on my travel plans between Belize International Airport and San Pedro. I'll be there with my boyfriend for just a few days (Friday morning to Sunday afternoon), and in order to maximize our time there, I want to know if it's best to fly from BZE to SPR directly, or if it's best to try and use the water taxi's that are available. There are a number of things to weigh here, and from looking around it seems like there are some unexpected costs…

Hi all:

I'm thrilled to be planning a return trip to Belize, after a wonderful college summer there many years ago. My 13 year old daughter and I plan to be there during the final week of March (returning home on
Easter Sunday, most likely). I'm sure I'll have more questions as our trip gets closer, but I have two for right now:

1) We definitely want to try cave tubing - what are the pro's and con's of ATM versus Nohoch Che'en Caves Branch?

2) For lodging during that time of year, would it…

Hola!

I am meeting up with a small group of volunteers to do a reef conservation project in Southern Belize (Sopadilla Cayes) Nov 18-23. We are all meeting up in PG on Sat/Sun Nov 16-17, which is right during the Battle of the Drums festival from my understanding. Anyone have some suggestions for the best way to enjoy the celebration? We are pretty stoked we happen to be there to experience it.

Also...

I am arriving in BZE on Wed Nov 14, and plan on heading out to Caye Caulker for a few days…

Flying to Belize City and will be spending a few days there before making our way to Guatemala and Honduras. Can anyone recommend clean rooms in Belize City or Caye Caulker. We are arriving on Dec. 18 and leaving on Dec 21. Is it possible to find something decent in the $50.00 to 100.00 per night? Thanks.

Hi folks, first time going to Belize and would like to go right over to San Ignacio in the Cayo District as soon as I arrive from Belize City. How do you get from the Philip Golden Airport to San Ignacio? Do you have to take a taxi to the bus station or is there a cheaper way of doing it?
