Belize is a wonderful and ‘off the beaten path’ destination. Despite its diminutive size, the country has a rich diversity of landscapes, people and nature to experience, from chilled out Caribbean beaches to remote rainforest lodges.
With population of 330,000, the whole country enjoys a relaxing laid back small town vibe, yet it was once home to an estimated two million people at the hight of the Maya civilisation. Today visible traces of their history are everywhere, with many monumental sites discovered and many more laying hidden in the forest.
Belize is also home to the largest barrier reef in the Western hemisphere – second in the word only to the Great Barrier – making from some excellent diving and snorkelling opportunities in the warm Caribbean waters.

Belize is more of a dynamic country than most people know, with a mixture of Kriol, Garifuna and Mayan heritage. The wildlife and birdlife are abundant, being home to both the Jaguar and the World’s second largest barrier reef. From visiting ancient archaeological sites to kayaking on rivers surrounded by thick rainforests, and diving amongst coral reefs to soaking up the sun on Caribbean beaches: Belize is a brilliant destination for a family trip.

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.
