Naturally Belize

Naturally Belize, tailor-made holidays to Belize from the United Kingdom

Naturally Belize is an independent travel agency based in the United Kingdom that designs tailor-made holidays to Belize. It operates under the company name Naturally Travels Limited and presents itself as part of the Naturally Travels group, which brings together other specialist travel brands. Its approach focuses on itineraries built around each client's interests, budget and dates, rather than fixed packages.

The company describes itself as a specialist in this destination and states that its entire team has travelled extensively in Belize. Each team member has a particular interest — wildlife, active adventure, Mayan sites, snorkelling or birdwatching — which allows them to advise on specific activities. It also states that it has travelled to the country with children and can recommend family-friendly excursions.

What Belize offers according to the agency

The agency describes Belize as a destination that allows you to combine sun, active adventure, wildlife watching, ancient ruins, natural environments and beach in a single trip. It notes that the country borders Mexico, Guatemala and the Caribbean Sea, and is home to the second largest barrier reef in the world, as well as extensive tropical rainforests. It highlights that it is the only English-speaking country in Central America — formerly British Honduras — and that its size is similar to Wales, making it easy to combine different areas in a single stay.

Among the activities it mentions are snorkelling and diving on the reef, hiking, horseback riding, kayaking, caving and river tubing. As a central attraction it cites the Mayan ruins scattered throughout the country. As for wildlife, it indicates that toucans and howler monkeys can be seen in the jungle, and whale sharks, tropical fish, turtles and coral in the sea, with over 500 species of birds. It also mentions the country's cultural diversity, with Creole, Mestizo, Garifuna, Maya and Mennonite communities, and describes it as one of the least explored Caribbean destinations by Europeans despite being just a few hours' flight from Miami.
