What to do and see in Belize, Belize: The Best Free Things to do

November 15, 2021 Weston Hennigan

According to famed diver Jacques Cousteau, the Great Blue Hole of Belize is one of the most spectacular dive sites on earth. The crystal-clear sapphire waters are home to colorful tropical fish and several species of reef sharks – ideal for brave divers who love to get up close and personal with sea life. On dry ground, diverse rainforests, mangrove swamps, and Mayan ruins are perfect for exploration. The beaches of Belize are sunny and tranquil spots for a day of relaxation.

We visited San Pedro and this wonderful shop 3 years ago and I couldn’t get their Body Whip out of my mind. Found nothing that comes close so I finally ordered 4! Shipping was fast, packing was great, and a small surprise gift was adorable. I can’t believe I waited this long to order, but I’ll be back, Lara!

Namaste Yoga

Since 2008, Namaste Yoga (formerly named RandOM Yoga) is a donation-based yoga studio on the barefoot-friendly island of Caye Caulker, Belize. Our open-air studio is located on the top floor of Namaste Cafe, offering a panoramic view of Caye Caulker. You'll enjoy views and a great breeze. Classes are an island-style and are suitable for all levels of practice, including beginners. We provide complimentary mats, blocks and straps. Hope to see you there!

Truly exceptional. Great space and yoga classes are well taught and good for everyone....8am and 10am. Jessie makes everyone feel comfortable and makes her "craft" available to all people regardless of their ability to pay through her "donation only" method of payment. Although I have yet to eat at her café the food being served (breakfast/lunch only) looked quite enticing! Staying on this island for 30 days and look forward to many classes including Sunset Yoga Monday/Wednesday at 5pm.

Red Flower Gallery

Red Flower Gallery has a beautiful selection of paintings by artist Paulette Salo. She is very well known for classical murals in the US. The paintings here are all scenes of Caye Caulker. One of a kind gift handmade items jewelery, and beachware and the best bug spray you can find.

Reviewed By Gastineau - Seattle, United States

We didn’t go to Caye Caulker to shop. That said, we wandered in to learn more about the insect repellent sold here and stayed to hear some of Paulette’s life experiences and restaurant recommendations on the island. The local Belizean artwork for sale here is also worth looking at. Her paintings are delightful, colorful, and reflect much of life here. She also generously promotes other local artists on the island. She alone is worth a walk into the store. It’s a good place to hang during a tropical storm, too!

We commissioned Walter to paint a depiction of Hopkins Inn. We gave Walter some ideas of what we wanted included and let his creativity fill in the blanks. Walter visited Hopkins Inn to experience the place and people, developed a sketch on the canvas, and then produced a detailed piece of art he titled “Nice Vibes.” We love it!

Belize Raptor Center

Reviewed By LRazzon - Istanbul, Turkey

We had a few hours before dark after visiting ATM, and we decided to give it a go. Boy am I glad. You get to see raptors from up close, you get to meet people, volunteers, and when all is said and done, you leave in a "feel-good" mood. Entrance is free, you'd need a car to get there, any donation is appreciated as they are a non-profit and donations go for the food and well being of the raptors. This is one place I would not hesitate to visit again in San Ignacio.

Rio On Pools

Reviewed By AndreaN00 - Vancouver, Canada

This is the perfect spot to stop after the long drive to Caracol! Easy to get to, as it is right off the main road and only a short easy walk from where you park down to the river. Wonderful spot to have a picnic, dip in the pools, relax under little waterfalls and just refresh on a hot day. There is some shade, too. Be careful, though, the rocks in the water are VERY slippery! I recommend wearing water shoes.

Caye Caulker

Reviewed By TheBrick

We were staying in Ambergris Cay so visited via water taxi, hooked ourselves up with Bernie, a golf cart “taxi” driver and got an incredible tour of the island. It is much smaller than San Pedro and less developed — we preferred it and if we ever return to Belize, will definitely stay on this island.

Melody goes over and above on the island to provide a great experience for both visitors and those that live here. She creates wonderful art and has weekly classes where you can even take home a little piece of Belize that you paint yourself. She is kind, warm, welcoming, and will create and provide a wonderful Belize experience that I highly recommend!! Many people look for and ask for an authentic Belize experience when they come to Ambergris Caye and this is a prime example of the kind of activity that will make you love your time here!
