From reefs to jungles to beaches to the mysteries of ancient Maya, Belize has it all. Just make sure to schedule some time to relax.
Northern Belize
Northern Belize is a destination for those wanting to get closer to Mother Nature, experiencing everything from the archaeological wonders of the Maya sites to exploring the jungles and vibrant cultures.

North Islands
Explore the two prominent islands- Ambergris Caye and Caye Caulker, located off the northern coast of Belize. Caye Caulker signs caution visitors to “Go Slow,” but few need to take notice, as the island’s unwritten motto is evident by its easy-going people, sandy roads for golf carts and the rhythmic pace of the waves.

Whether by boat or plane, these northern islands are must-visit destinations for a beach getaway!
