Belize @ 45! Come Celebrate our Independence Day with us!

We’re young by most standards…and we certainly still know how to party!

The flag of Belize

Independence Day is one of the most lively celebrations in Belize, and lands squarely in “low season” - meaning rooms and flights are less expensive, and the island, overall, has a slower vibe to it. No long waits at top restaurants, and tours are easy to join, making it an ideal time to visit Ambergris Caye!

All over Belize, you will see flags and banners proudly flying - from grocery stores and banks, to private homes and golf carts - the spirit is contagious!

Here’s a quick video from Central Park, downtown San Pedro, with a special 4-legged guest appearance: San Pedro Belize’s Independence Day 2026

Will you be joining us on September 21st? We’d love to share our pride for Belize with you!

The Belize Zoo - a video tour

Have you been to the Belize Zoo…?

If not, you must add it to your itinerary!

The self-proclaimed “Best Little Zoo in the World” is just that - you can tour the grounds in an hour if you hustle, or spend the day there.

The residents weren’t bred for captivity - they arrived due to being orphaned, injured, rescued from the illegal pet trade, or having been deemed nuisance animals. The Belize Zoo takes them in, cares for them, and provides education on why animals should stay wild.

All animals are native to Belize, so they are comfortable in our climate.

From jaguars to agouti, The Belize Zoo has them all!

Here is a quick video tour from The Belize Zoo:

Walking around the Belize Zoo

The Belize Zoo is on the mainland, about a 45-60 minute drive from Belize City.

Our concierge can book a tour guide who will pick you up from the airport or water taxi and drive you to the zoo - plus other activities, if you wish! Options include visiting Mayan ruins, cave tubing, zip lining, and more!

Visiting the Belize Zoo is one of our favorite activities.- if you are an animal-lover, you’ll really enjoy the zoo!
