Our holidays to Belize are designed to show you as much of this beautiful country as possible, while experiencing the communities you visit in a meaningful way – this is our ethos of slow travel. If you’re looking for something more than a holiday, then Not in the Guidebooks are the holiday providers for you.

Not only is Belize a place for thrilling adventure but it is also perfect for unique cultural immersion. Our trips will allow you to spend meaningful time with the local communities, learning from them how to cook, dance, dress and experience Belize like a local.

Unmissable Highlights in Belize

There are so many unique and unforgettable experience to have in Belize, but here are a few of the experiences we think are truly special.

Snorkeling – With 450 islands off its tropical coast, Belize is a firm favourite for snorkeling. With so many protected waters, the biodiversity in the waters around Belize are uniquely rich with wildlife.
Maya culture – Belize is one full of rich Mayan history, with some of the most iconic sites that remain of the ancient civilization. On our trips you’ll have the opportunity to get a stronger understanding of the culture.
Cooking & Cuisine – At Not in the Guidebooks we’re really passionate (obsessed) about food so we always include the chance to cook local delicacies with the community and get to know their unique flavour profile – and Belize is no exception.
