Before traveling to Belize, know that English is the official language and the local currency is the Belize Dollar. The tropical climate means light clothing, swimwear, and rain gear are essential, and insect repellent is a must to protect against mosquitoes. Water activities are popular, so bring reef-safe sunscreen, and don’t forget to try the fresh seafood, tropical fruits, and local spices. Explore responsibly by respecting wildlife, reefs, and cultural sites. Electricity is 110V with US-style plugs, and while Belize is generally safe, stay aware in crowded areas.
