Belize is a small Caribbean country south of Mexico in the Caribean sea. The famed explorer, Jaques Cousstau, called Belize the Jewel of the Carribean. Belize is much more than just a jewel - it's a treasure chest of adventure, history, culture filled with natural beauty and man made wonders.

It may even be a bit overwhelming for a first time traveller to decide what areas to vists, which attractions to see and what adventures to experience. Even though the land is small, travel can take longer than the mileage indicates!

So, you made your accomomdation reservation at 

, booked your airplane ticket and planned your tours. In a blink your dream vacation is here and you have to start packing!

Belize has a comfortable year round tropical climate and a very laid back relaxed culture. Casual, light weight moisture wicking and natural fiber clothing is recommended. If you are planning an active adventure filled vacation, ensure you bring the correct clothing, shoes and equiptment for your activity. Although almost all accomodations and guides will provide equiptment and regular clothes and footware will surfice, having the right gear will make your vacation more enjoyable.

Good sunprotection is essential while in Belize as you will spend a lot of time outdoors. Consider long sleeved light weight "fishing shirts" to wear into the jungle and light weight long pants - not only will this protect againt the sun but also against mosquitos. Dont forget your wide rimmed hat and water shoes or hiking sandals for activities like cave tubing and zipline.

Restaurants are very laid back in their dress code. Linen is a great choice for the tropical climate, and you don’t need to dress for dinner, unless you want to.

 Apply sunscreen first, and then bug spray. 

 Be prepared for rain showers at some point every day. (Disposable) rain ponchos is a great space saver to pack!

There is bathrooms before the passport control desks which is usually very "busy". If you can, go through passport control and visit the bathrooms by the luggage carousels.

At the international airport in Belize, you will be required to hand in certain forms:

These forms might be handed out while your flying or you will get them at the entrance of the arrival hall - hnce the need for more than 1 pen!

Once you proceeded through passport control, you will gather your luggage.

In the arrival/luggage area you will see several Duty Free shops selling mainly cigars, cigarettes and alcohol.

If you know you will buy any alcohol, other than beer or the local rum, buy alcohol and cigarettes at the duty free shop at the airport. Belize has a 100% import duty on any liquor and wine note produced in the country.

Once you did your shopping and gathered your luggage you will proceed to the customs lines. All luggage will be scanned and most everyones luggage will be opened and examined, regardless of taking the declare or nothing-to-declare-line. 

If you bring more than $10 000 USD into the country you have to declare it - it is to combat money laundering!

Once you cleared customs and passport control, a wonderfull adventure awaits in the Jewel of the Caribean!

If you are flying on either Maya Island or Tripc Air you will have to check your luggage again. Before checking your suite case, check with he agent if you need to check alcohol or if you can carry it as hand luggage.

Driving in Belize is relatively easy and the roads are mostly good. Do note that what is considered national highways in Belize, is more like a 2 lane road in the USA.

 You do no need any special drivers license to rent a car just your regular valid non expired license form your home country. All road signs are in english and speed limits mostly posted in mph or mph and kph. Further more, like the USA and Canada, you will be driving on the rightside of the road. There is however, a few things to be aware of when driving in Belize. there is generally not a lot of cars on the highways but there is road hazards to consider. Alhough a lot of peopel sees road signs and speed limits as suggestions, it will be unwise not to abide by them.
