[Travel Advice] Going to Belize

Cave tubing is overrated. Avoid it.

 

I hope you agreed to take this trip on your own and aren't being sent there by someone else.

 

Scuba dive in the Blue Hole. It's definitely worth it.

 

Belize sucks. Go somewhere else

 

And if you aren't certified to dive yet, get certified there. Belize diving is awesome.

 

There's no better place to learn than the Caribbean.

 

Drink the water.

 

smoke blunts with rastas

 

ambergris caye is where its at

 

Belize is terrible. Houston is the greatest city in the world.

 

Take lots and lots of money. Expect to pay close to $20 for a 6 pack of beer. Stay away from local cabs, have the resort set everything up.

 

black?

 

Local cab drivers are fine, just never flag down a cab at night. If I am going to need a cab ride after dark, I always arrange it during the day and pay the guy to wait for me.

I have had multiple friends get robbed inside a (fake) cab. They all arranged cab rides after leaving bars late at night.

And things are a lot cheaper if you stay out of the resorts altogether. All-inclusive resorts suck.

 

Also, I never get into a cab if the driver is trying to get me in (the hard sale, so to speak). I ALWAYS choose my own cab.

 

I've never been to a resort there. A friend owns a winter home there and this is what I was told although I always drove a scooter or his Jeep. While it's gorgeous it's just not a place I really ever enjoyed. If I'm going to the Eastern Caribbean I always stick with BVA or the UVA. I've been to Peter Island the past two years but no Caribbean this year. Hitting Peru in August, freaking stoked.

 

If ruins are your thing, Tikal will blow away anything you'll find in Belize.

Where are you going? Big diff between the cayes, mainland, and Belize city. (hint -- pass on Belize city).

 

Go to the ATM cave tour (actin tunichil muknal) where the natives would do sacrificial burials to appease the rain gods


It's a night time tour through pitchdark cave rivers..
you just have your helmet lights as a group

And they ask you to turn them off at a point to feel what 100% darkness is

 

R.I.P in peace OP
