Actual Costs – Belize

We knew that Belize was going to be expensive so we made the decision to just visit Caye Caulker for five nights and then to leave the country. Although we did come in over our usual weekly budget we did do a snorkeling day trip (BZD 130 pp) which was amazing! We also decided to stay in an AirBNB house instead of a hostel so we could have done it for cheaper. We did try to cut down on our eating costs and some days we got by on next to nothing, eating at the local Chinese restaurant! To give you an idea of actual costs we have listed the cost of some common things:

  • Taco from food stand = BZD2
  • Chinese meal = BZD8-12
  • Water taxi return = BZD29
  • Beer from the supermarket = BZD3.25
  • Beer at a bar = BZD5

Below is the table of what we spent our money on. Our average daily cost came to US$110 for the two of us.
