One of the main attractions of Belize for families is its size. As one of the smallest countries in Central America, it is very easy to move from A to B and with English as the first language of Belize, there are no language barriers to contend with.
This wonderful country also offers a wide range of lodges and hotels suitable for families, many of which have sprung up over the last ten years, making this a well-established and adventurous place to visit.
Activities and hotels are such that we recommend to get the best out of the country travel is best for children aged ten and over. Highlights include birdlife, caving, wildlife, Maya ruins, forests, snorkelling, diving and wonderful white-sand beaches.
