Enjoy fascinating cultures, legendary sealife and laidback beaches in Belize
Belize is a wonderfully diverse and interesting place to visit. Despite its small size there are many different landscapes, peoples and nature to be encountered here.
Only 300,000 people live in the country giving the entire place a laid back ‘small town’ easy going nature. At the peak of the Mayan civilisation it’s estimated that as many as two million Mayans lived here. Their history is everywhere with many sites discovered and many more laying hidden in the rainforest.
Belize is also home to the largest barrier reef in the Western hemisphere allowing some excellent diving and snorkelling opportunities, a highlight for anyone on a luxury holiday in Belize in the warm Caribbean waters.
Our luxury Belize tours can include as much or as little as you like. Jacada Travel can help you to explore this welcoming and varied country, assisted by our enthusiastic local guides.

Just returned from incredible Belize trip. Jacada took care of every little detail. I told them what I enjoyed and they chose the most amazing places, with wonderful excursions for the entire trip. It was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. I can't recommend them enough!! Will be using them from now on!!
Another spectacular trip with Jacada! My family and I went to Guatemala and Belize over Christmas and New Year’s. The trip was planned perfectly! We spent a week in Guatemala where we hiked Pacaya Volcano near Antigua, enjoyed Christmas festivities in Lake Atitlan, and walked the Mayan ruins in Tikal. Next we crossed the border and spent the week relaxing…
My family and I had a wonderful experience with our tour guide Kenton. He was very knowledgeable of the sights in Belize City. My family wanted to contact him to give him an additional tip for his great service .
Jacada crafted a great surprise Birthday for my wife, Barb, who only knew that I had arranged a trip for the two of us to an undisclosed location. I needed a lot of help because I had never stayed in Belize, but wanted to take Barb there for good snorkeling. She didn’t know that I wanted to secretly invite all…
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Belize organized by Jacada. Accommodation was great, guides were excellent and our whole trip flowed seamlessly. I really appreciated the 24hour support line so last minute changes could be accommodated. Wonderful getaway, we will definitely travel with Jacada again.
