There are a few hostels in Belize, and you can stay in a
dorm for around BZ$25.00 / US$ 12.50, double rooms in guesthouses start at
BZ$30.00 / US$15.00 for a shared bathroom or en-suite for BZ$40.00 / US$20.00 in
the low season.
Main courses in restaurants start at BZ$ 8.00 /US$ 4.00
in San Ignacio, the Cayes are a little bit more expensive. A meal for two comes
to around BZ$ 25.00 / US$ 12.50.
Public transport is very cheap, with buses from Belize
City running to all major towns in the country for a max. The water taxi to
Caye Caulker is BZ$20.00 / US$10.00 from Belize City.
Snorkeling tours start at BZ$40.00 / US$20.00 for a half
day tour and a full day is BZ$80, the cave tours also start at BZ$ 40.00 / US$
20.00, and the Actun Tunichil Muknal tour is the most expensive tour BZ$150.00
/ US$ 75.00.
This last tour might be the priciest, but by far the most
adventurous of all the tours available to visitors in Belize. At least that is
the opinion of the Discovery Channel, National Geographic, the New York Times,
and, of course, the Globetrottergirls.
