AFFORDABLE Belize Vacation 2024 | Belize Travel Guide | Secret Beach Belize | Mahogany Bay Belize

- In this Belize travel guide, we'll show you all the best beaches and ancient ruins to explore in Belize. We'll provide information on the Mahogany Bay Village, the Hol Chan Marine Reserve, San Pedro, Caye Caulker, and more so you can make the most of your visit!
Be sure to not only visit the Cayes but also mainland Belize. We had some of the best food in Belize City. We stayed in the Conningsby Inn in Belize City, but don't really recommend it.
**We have accommodations that we do recommend included in our Explore Belize Travel Guide: chewstoexplore.com/product/ex...
You can either fly or take a ferry to the Cayes. We took a less expensive ferry to the city of San Pedro in Ambergris Caye. We stayed at the beautiful Mahogany Bay Resort by Hilton which cost us $316 per person x 6 guests for our 5-night stay in August. Prices can of course vary depending on dates, and the number of people you travel with. This is just to give you an idea!
Having loyalty to a hotel is a great way to save money. We have Diamond Status with Hilton so when we booked 4 nights, we got a 5th night for free, and even though we booked a smaller (& less expensive room option) they upgraded us twice during our stay. You'll see their 3-bedroom townhouse and 5-bedroom townhouse with a private pool featured in this video that we enjoyed during our stay.
We explored some of the most popular beaches like Secret Beach and tried the famous viper shot which had an actual snake inside of it! We also had an incredible local Garifuna experience which included traditional dance, food, drums, and other instruments.
We went on an amazing catamaran excursion with Xsite Belize which included snorkeling the largest living barrier reef at the Hol Chan Marine Reserve, swimming with sharks at Shark Ray Alley, sailing through The Split, feeding tarpons in Caye Caulker, and having the best time with the best guides!
There was so much to see and do throughout Belize, and we included it in this video so you can easily plan your trip to Belize!
Watch to see how WE spent 7 days in Belize for $976 USD/pp. Prices can of course vary depending on dates, and the number of people you travel with. This is just to give you an idea!

I love how in every video Liv is smiling so beautifully. 😍
Haha liv is in her happy place when she is traveling thanks for the support always!
The Mayans and the ruins are remnants of the original people of the island-who are still there-the melanated people-they’ve only been forced out of their own story -by Spanish and British invaders-the island is beautiful-the truth of whom this beautiful land belongs will soon prevail -thanks for sharing 💥🌺
Yes we learned a lot about the diversity in the country. Especially learning about the Garifuna as we had an experience with them too. So interesting to learn about the culture of the people!
Belize is part of the mainland of Central America with lots of little cayes off its coast. Guatemala is always trying to claim the country as its own, it's a long-standing argument.
I went to Mayan ruins and this Mexican tourist was teaching the group about mayans and I had to tell her stop lying. This is my peo0le land and pyramids as well! Sorry...
Let the Mayan human sacrifices resume!
Thanks for visiting our beautiful country Belize 🇧🇿 hope y’all had a blast here! and your always welcome again ❤ #belizetotheworld

I wish we had spent time in Belize City. Caramba was a nice experience. We got a golf cart ticket once we left the restaurant 😂😬 Secret Beach was definitely a vibe. We took a taxi. I loved how Shallow the water was❤If I knew how to swim yes I would definitely swim with the sharks. Caye Caulker was nice especially the lobster 🦞 Happy Birthday 🎉🎉🎉🎉

New subscriber here, this channel is exactly what we need
Thank you so much for subscribing! I'm glad to hear that my channel is meeting your needs. I hope you continue to enjoy the content!
Happy birthday to your Queen 😊
Liv says thank you so much!
I love the energy from you two and how much you appreciate the simple things when traveling. If ever you get the chance, please visit Grenada 🇬🇩 I know you'll love it there! Keep up the amazing work 🙏🏾❤
Your recommendation means a lot to us! We'll definitely consider adding Grenada to our travel list. All we need is a great flight deal and were there!
You can get pretty good deals from JFK now and then, so keep an eye out. Prices are high in August because of carnival, but May might be a good time as we have the chocolate festival then, and hurricane season hasn't yet started, so perfect beach weather 😌
I'm in! New subscriber.
Fire thumbnail guys!
Appreciate the support bro! starting to change all of them over to this style
I always look forward to watching your travel vlog - your adventures are so inspiring. Your positive energy is infectious! Just curious, have you heard about the new v4 Bento Bag and the Ikigai Backpack by NomadLane? They could be great additions to your travel gear.
Thank you!

Lovely video guys! I’m planning on taking my first out of the country trip from the US to Belize and this is very informative! Which ruins did you guys enjoy the most?
Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled that you found our video helpful for your upcoming trip. As for the ruins, we highly recommend visiting Altun Ha. They were incredible experiences!
I enjoy your videos I would like to go mahogany bay send info for a week thank you 😊
Thank you for the support to our channel! We truly appreciate it!
Your guys are cool 😎 👌
We're glad you think so! Thanks for watching and supporting our channel.
What month is the best time to go ? Also affordable ?
my mother land !!!!!!!!
My brother, truly appreciate all the support, hope we showed love to it!
Great video! When did you guys travel? We see it rain a bit and me and my queen are looking at mid April to take our trip. Is that a good time?
Thanks for watching! We traveled in early August but had an amazing time. It all depends on what yu want on your trip.
I'm new to your YT channel and I'm enjoying it. I learned a lot. My husband and I will be traveling to Belize for the first time. So I'm doing some research before going there. First question, Do you need anything special to drive in Belize? Is US drivers license good enough to drive there? Did you get insurance? Thank you
Thank you so much for the support to our channel! we had an amazing time and hope you do as well. I just used my drivers license and had no problem. My credit card gives me rental car insurance
Thanks for this video. I will make plans to visit Belize this year. When is the best time of year to visit?
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you found the video helpful and that it inspired you to visit Belize. The best time to go is during the dry season, as the weather is ideal for outdoor activities and exploring the stunning landscapes. I hope you have an incredible trip!
Hello. I don't see a travel guide for Belize in your shop. Great info though. Ty
Sorry we will upload it later today sorry about that
Hey, I just got hip to your channel from planning an anniversary Tripping. Coming from Houston planning an Anniversary in December - Which Country do you recommend? Belize - Aruba - Cayman Islands Possibly. Which would you recommend from your experience? (Doesn't have to be one of these choices but trying to see finalize my choice). Any help is appreciated and Great Content!
Thank you so much for checking out my channel and for your kind words! I'm thrilled that my content could be helpful to you while planning your anniversary trip. As for your question, based on my experience and couples trips, I would actually recommend either St Lucia ua-cam.com/video/zCzTNnSMIHk/v-deo.htmlsi=CwelnZdHikHfxaOP or St Maarten ua-cam.com/video/wcFKwqSp1V4/v-deo.htmlsi=mF1xhUOI2DlZWnfw. It offers a unique mix of adventure, stunning landscapes, and rich culture. However, it ultimately depends on your preferences. Whatever you choose, I'm sure you'll have an amazing time. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
Hi to you both!! I watched you video as we are about to go to Belize in February. I hope you can answer a question for me? Did you use a drone while visiting? Did you have any issues?
Thank you in advance.
Thanks for watching and supporting my video. I did have my drone but being in san pedro you are so close to the airport that you cannot really take off
Great video guys! How were the roads to Big Rock and Rio Frio? Any trouble getting up there?
Honestly bumpy but you just take it slow and youre fine. I had a smaller car and didnt have problems.
@@ChewsToExplore Love to hear that! Thanks!
On your way to secret beach, how was the road and safety measures ?
The road was bumpy but not unsafe I would say. just watch for the potholes
Hello,
I'm new here. i ran across your video as I am preparing to travel in a few weeks for my birthday! If i don't rent a golf cart, will a taxi bring me around from the Mahogany Bay resort?
Thank you❤
Thank you so much for watching my video! Yes, taxis are a great option for getting around if you don't want to rent a golf cart. Have a fantastic birthday trip!
@ChewsToExplore You're very welcome! Thank you for responding, and thank you for the birthday wish❤️
Did you have trouble bringing in your drone?
No Problem
Is the ferry $44/pp RT? Also I saw there wasn't no one in Altun Ha mayan ruins, what time did you guys go there and what month? Thank you
The ferry is indeed $44 round-trip per person. We visited Altun Ha during the morning in August, which might explain the lack of crowds.
did you have to pay a deposit for the golf cart rental?
Visit Trinidad and Tobago!
Haha best believe that is on our list. Hoping to go in the near future!
did you book everything yourself separately?
Thanks for watching and supporting our channel. Yes we do all the booking ourselves.
How do you guys manage to always have flight points? Because once you use them you don't accrue points on that flight. I either have the wrong travel card or doing something wrong.😢
Happy Birthday beautiful!❤
Thank you so much for the birthday wishes! As for the points, it's all about being savvy with your travel rewards. My wife and I are working on creating something to really help you guys travel more affordably
@@ChewsToExplore can't wait because I do make use of points but seems like you still have to spend to get points in the first place.
Whats app for golf cart rental?
All the information and details are linked in our travel guide
US dollars or Belizean dollars?
All US Dollars
🫡
Thanks for watching! I appreciate your support!
Hi guys, when you patronize a Black restaurant or other Black business can you let us know that Black people are the owners.
Yes sorry we should have specified that as it is important information for you all to know as well.
did you swallow any polluted water at secret beach... hhhmmmmm.
Thanks for watching! I always make sure to stay hydrated and avoid any polluted water when I'm at the beach. Safety first!
@@ChewsToExplore good luck avoiding polluted water at secret beach... the government announced over 3 yrs ago how polluted it was getting up there.
My guess is she's 27-29
Haha good guess, you may be right but well never tell you!
I'd say 25
Thank you!
Super helpful travel videos. Positive vibe and authentic. Thank you both!
