1. Belize District
Your trip through Belize usually starts in the Belize District, located in the east of the country. The capital of this district is Belize City, which is also the largest city in the country. This district also includes offshore islands such as Ambergris Caye and Caye Caulker. This district is also home to the Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary, the Belize Zoo and the Mayan ruins of Altun Ha.
Belize City and surroundings
Firstly, you will arrive at Philips SW Goldson International Airport by international flight. The Airport is about a twenty minute drive from Belize City. Belize City is generally not a safe city to stay in. Unico Travel recommends that you immediately travel to Ambergris Caye or Caye Caulker upon arrival. Another option is to spend the night in a small-scale bed and breakfast in a safe neighborhood in the city or in the vicinity of the Airport in a hotel on the river in nature.
Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary
Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary is over 36.000 acres of consists of wetlands, savannas, lagoons and creeks. It is home to several migratory and local bird species. Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary consists of shallow waters important to wetland birds, including the Jabiru Stork, the largest flightless bird in the United States. More than 330 different species of birds live in this area. You can also see iguanas, crocodiles, howler monkeys and turtles.
Ambergris Caye
You can easily travel by water taxi or domestic flight to Ambergris Caye, the largest island in front of the coast of Belize. There is an relaxed Caribbean atmosphere. San Pedro is the only place on the island with many restaurants, bars and shops. Did you know that Madonna’s La Isla Bonita is about San Pedro? Bicycles and golf carts are available for rent to explore the island. In addition, from Ambergris Caye you can explore the underwater world of, for example the Great Blue Hole and Hol Chan Marine Reserve. You also have the opportunity to snorkel with nurse sharks at Shark Ray Alley.
Tip! Fly over the Great Blue Hole by private charter for stunning views.
Caye Caulker
Caye Caulker is a small island off the coast of Belize and can be reached by Water taxi from Belize City or Ambergris Caye. The island is known for its laidback atmosphere. The island’s motto is ‘Go Slow’. First of all, discover the island full of swaying palm trees on a crystal clear sea. Stroll past the colored houses, restaurants and bars. In addition, discover the underwater world of, for example, Shark Ray Alley, Hol Chan Marine Reserve and finally the world-famous Great Blue Hole.

The first zone, Zone A, is just a fifteen minute boat ride from San Pedro and a thirty minute boat ride from Caye Caulker. During the boat trip, keep an eye out for jumping rays and flying fish. Shark Ray Alley is an important place and often visited with tours. Here you have the chance to swim with nurse sharks and stingrays.

Lamanai was formerly inhabited by the Maya. Until now, not everything of this special Mayan city has been discovered. The ruins are scattered in the tropical rainforest where colorful birds fly by and monkeys swing though the trees. Lamanai is quite difficult to reach, so it is still very unspoilt and there are often few tourists.
Boat safari to Lamanai
During your tour through Belize, discover the ancient Mayan city of Lamanai. Just the way to get there is already unique. By boat you will sail for about one and a half hour on the New River, a beautiful boat trip. You sail through swamp plains with the jungle in the background.

5. Stann Creek District
The Stann Creek District is located in eastern Belize on the Caribbean Sea. The capital is Dangriga.

Public transfer during your trip through Belize
Transport in Belize is very diverse. During a tour through Belize you often travel with different means of transport.
Public transport
The cheapest way to travel in Belize is by bus. There are different types of buses. There are American school buses and more luxurious buses. Unico Travel advises against travelling by bus. It is much more comfortable, safer and faster to travel by private transfers or rental car.
Water Taxis
It is nice to start your trip of Belize at Ambergris Caye or Caye Caulker. These islands can be reached from Belize City by water taxi. It is about 45 minutes by boat to Caye Caulker and an hour and a half to Ambergris Caye. They are covered water taxis.
Private transfers
Unico Travel often organizes private transfers for many travellers. The advantage of private transfers is that you will receive a lot of explanation from the driver along the way. The driver also knows nice restaurants and places of interest to make stops along the way. The driver knows the roads like no other and you can fully enjoy the journey.
Domestic flights
In Belize, many domestic flights are used. It is an easy and fast way to travel to a new area. Unico Travel often chooses to fly from the south of Belize to the international airport in one go. This saves a lot of time and is also a nice way to see Belize. There are also flights to the islands flying over the azure sea and various cayes.
The international airports of Belize are: Belize City Philip SW Goldson International Airport and Belize City Municipal Airport. Local airports can be found in Belize City, Caye Caulker, San Pedro, Corozal, Dangriga, Placencia and Punta Gorda.

Driving in Belize
Renting a car offers a lot of added value during a trip through Belize. With your rental car you can reach places where public transport is not possible. You will also save a lot of money by going out with your own rental car instead of an organized tour.
Roads in Belize
Driving a car itself is quite easy. There are a number of paved main roads that lead you north, west and south. In addition to these paved roads, there are also unpaved roads. These roads are mainly found inland in nature, around the villages and lodges. You therefore need a 4×4 rental car for the unpaved roads.
Eating and Drinking in Belize
Eating in Belize
The food in Belize is a combination of Latin American and Caribbean dishes. Beans and rice are often the main ingredients of a meal. In addition, the various fresh fish dishes are certainly worth trying. Lobster is very popular in Belize (and cheap).

Heidy and Malaika travelled through Unico Travel and visited this community. “We were picked up by horse and carriage, after which we went there for lunch with a family and were given a tour of the village. It was like going back in our time.”
The Great Blue Hole
The Great Blue Hole is located off the coast of Belize and near the Lighthouse Reef. This underwater cave has a diameter of about 300 meters and a depth of 124 meters. It looks impressive from the air. The underwater cave has azure water on the edge and dark blue water in the middle. Millions of years ago this underwater cave was a limestone cave with tunnels, but around the ice age the ceiling collapsed. Subsequently, the sea level rose and this cave was created. It is a unique natural phenomenon and therefore included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
