- Belize is a small paradise on the Caribbean coast, with an even smaller population. Yet, despite almost bypassing it during our tour of Central America, it quickly became one of our favorite countries. More often known for its stunning islands, mainland Belize is typically overlooked for backpacking and travel.
However, the country has a strong focus on wildlife and environmental conservation. As a result, despite its relatively small size, there's a large amount of forest reserves, parks, and backcountry access. This means for Overlanding, van life, 4x4 and off-road adventures, there's no shortage of things to do and places to see. Mainland Belize strongly focuses on camping, hiking, and exploring its diverse landscape.
Belize also has a diverse population, that seems to all coexist in an effortless mesh of different cultures. Here you can find Mexican and Latin dishes, Caribbean food, and Mennonite cheeses among others. With truly kind and laid-back people, Belize quickly became one of our favorites.
In fact, we liked it so much, we came back for a second tour.

No truer words spoken. "When you have no recovery vehicle, you need to turn back." In my limited solo travel, I learned it early and hopefully will never forget.
Yeah we've got in some trouble, but you definitely don't want to get stuck stuck alone haha
Now you tell me 😂
Having a local family to stay with certainly gives a good insight into life in Belize.
Yes for sure! It definitely adds to the experience.
Great trip Thru Belize . Thanks for showing the best part of Belize is the people ❤
Loved this video. Belize is so beautiful. Tyfs God bless you
Love the videos! Very well edited and voiced over! 🙌 Belize looks absolutely beautiful!
Thanks so much! It's a beautiful country for sure
And it is 😊
Excellent drone footage and videography. Living vicariously though you stuck in Canada yearning for a adventure like this...
Put a huge smile on my face, great videos
This video and your voice are very relaxing. Thanks
Thank you!
Amazing video, you two are so blessed be able to live out your traveling dreams while you're so young. We'll be in Belize on Tuesday as part of a Cruise itinerary. We plan to fly to Caye Caulker from the municipal airport for a few hours of fun.
Enjoy Caye Caulker! And we are absolutely super lucky! Though it can be hard as well, never sure how much you'll make in a month with TH-cam and juggling multiple revenue streams can be a challenge, but that's what makes it all the more rewarding too :)
Lucky dawg! Great content, keep it coming. The money will follow. Bravo!
Wonderful video of Belize, respect u guys!!
So cool you visited Glovers Reef. I spent a week there in the late 90's sea kayaking, snorkeling and camping and loved every minute.
It's a great place! I bet it hasn't changed much since the 90's either, they've done a good job keeping it natural
When I was in Belize if I saw a road sign for 4 wheelers I knew things ahead were going to sh*t fast. You might get stuck for a couple days during the rainy season. Everyone learns after time in country. Beautiful country, beautiful people..😮😊
So cool.. Can't wait.
Love seeing this, hope you guys enjoyed your time in Belize and hope to see you back as well!!
Being from Winnipeg myself, was shocked to recognize the license plates at the beginning. Great adventure and job on the video. Subscribing to support the channel and hoping you realize that life is much better away from Manitoba. Cheers.
What a beautiful story !!
what a beautifull way of living life. Dreams.
Heading to Belize for the first time in January. This video makes me even more excited now 🙂
We are heading down Feb 5th. It got me excited too
How was the trip and experience?
@@leannamanuel713 - How was it?
Just watched this today after it happened to come up on my TH-cam suggestions……… currently on vacay in playa del Carmen & also a fellow Manitoban!!
Great stuff from Belize 🇧🇿 and I’m going to have to work my way back through your journeys until this point!!
Keep safe!
That was great! Much thanks, I like the way you roll and will follow your path in the future.
I was happy to see algorithm suggested your channel. Great content and no one's ever done such a good job of showing the out of the way Belize 🎯 💯🐠
Thanks a lot! Appreciate the comment :)
You got some awesome shots, thanks for sharing!
Great video. Looks awesome. I wish I could do that
So cool to find some friends to hang out with while traveling. It doesn't get any better than that. Belize looks like one of the best and most secure of the countries you have been to so far for me.
Yeah we really do love Belize, great place! Might consider setting up a base camp there sometime haha
Beautiful Belize.
This is such a wholesome experience you all had! Thanks for sharing.
It was great! Thanks for the comment
Wow just found the channel - Fantastic work, narration, drone work and video editing. Makes me feel like I want to go everywhere you guys travel. This is why people don’t pay for “Travel Channel” when you can put together far better content. Excellent work.
Great video. I took my wife and 4 kids there a few times debating on moving there from the mid-west. But, what I found is the Philippines is like half the cost of Belize. But unfortunately it's just so far.
But I agree... Belize is beautiful. We rented a car and traversed the country from the ocean to Guatemala. We do love it there. Good video my new friends.
South east Asia is still the king of budget travel!
Excellent work, Sir!
29:35 - yeah, coffee!!! 👍😀
Well done thanks 🤠👍
Really enjoyed this episode Brother. My Misses watched your content for the first time and was so impressed. You gave us a much better insight and appreciation for Belize, thank you for that. Safe travels, await the next installment.
Thanks Mike! Glad she enjoyed the video as well, it's a great country!
Nice video, After spending time in the playa 10 years ago I considered going to Belize to join McAfe
and the expats
An inspiration. Hope one day made my travels! ✌
Great locations in Belize and Roatan to be able to jump and splash in the water daily
good vibes as always love your travels on on .....
Thanks man
Great videos brother, thank you for taking us on your adventures can wait for more to come...
I would love to do something similar.. is 4x4 Vehicle recommended? What's the average cost for a trip like this from Cali/Salvador. Ty
@@jms1721 Well, for us we love 4x4 because we can drive out onto the sand, and we like trying to get to remote and unreachable places. And for me as well, I just love to do some off-roading sometimes haha. But, it's completely not required, we meet people with 2wd vans that are definitely 10x more comfortable, the roads are pretty good everywhere (some times they're full of potholes but 4x4 won't help for that anyways).
As far as cost, it's tough to say, cost of travelling for us is way lower than living in Canada or the Netherlands for example... Except for the fuel. That's really what determines the monthly budget. I'd calculate the cost of fuel from Cali to Salvador in relation to your vehicles MPG, and then from there maybe add $40 a day if you're solo. It's cheaper with two of course, splitting hotel rooms, fuel, etc.
A very nice and entertaining post. Thank you.
Cool video thanks for all the documentation
Great, less touristy, view of Belize.
Great video.
Looks like you found beautiful areas to camp. We are enjoying your videos.
Absolutely! Thanks for the support
Thanks! Hope you two continue your adventure. I backpacked through Mexico central and South America in the early 90s. Your videos bring me back - thx! Be safe, and love each other.
Thanks so much :) we just got to Colombia!
You guys are spiritual so good thank you for sharing ❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊
Professional narrative 👏 and great filming 🎥 👌
Great job guys! All the best with it.
Thank you!
Well done and very nice video. Belize is definitely a candidate the next time we go to Central America :)
Good video, that last jaunt up Ben's Bluff is tough. That waterfall is amazing on the way back down though. The water was much deeper than I expected back under the fall itself.
Thanks! Yeah it's surprisingly deep
Thanks! Great watching
Thanks!
Thanks a lot!
Ansious for the next video, good overland trip
Thanks!
Watching from the UK and it's super cool seeing your travels. Definitely hope to have some similar trips in my Defender in the future.
Thank you! I hope you get the chance soon :)
🎉good Belize
That was epic buddy. Loved it.
Thanks brother!
I have patiently been waiting on this video, I'm all caught up. I had worried about you making it out of Honduras and not posting anymore videos. lol. Belize looks like a marvelous place.
No we'll be posting as much as possible, just with getting the truck ready for shipping and figuring things out we've been sort of out of commission. Belize is a great country!
Great video
Max. I am doing panamerican next year in my converted Ambo from Arizona down. I
Wanted to document my travels as
Well
And I’ve now
Binge watched most of your vids . Thank you for sharing so much .merry Christmas
Nice! Hope you enjoy your trip :) Merry Christmas!
❤❤❤
Great video guys
Thanks man!
@@goaloneTV keep doing what u guys are doing. Great way to experience the world 🤙🏼
Great videos. I just subscribed to your channel. I enjoyed your narrative of the sites and the background you provide is pretty interesting. Thank you and best wishes to you and Nikki.
Thanks a lot man!
Excellent travel video about Belize. I give you 10 stars on a 5 star rating. I learned so much with your visuals.. ahn I live here full time almost 18 years in the north, 2 miles from Chetumal. Thank you!
Thanks a lot! Glad to hear it :) great country to live in!
@@goaloneTV if you ever have plans come up Fourth Avenue in Corozal Town to Consejo Village [7 miles], I created and manage Consejo Village Library Project on Parcel #492 since September 2008, starting CVL in 2006 out of our house, which had no doors at the time.
We also caretake a friend's house next door which is a 2 br 2 bath 3' from the sea. It is undergoing renovations now and then we will register it as a Belize Guesthouse at a very reasonable price by Jan 2024.
Or, you can come camp right anytime here on our lot, so long as you are self contained.
Consejo Village lost its piped water supply May 21, 2017 and with climate change, we have had to put in limits.
Subscribed 😁 your videos are pretty much my dreams as soon as i finished paying my house off.
Thanks a lot man! Go for it :)
Keep moving
Nice video.
Thanks a lot Todd!
On another note.... I also came face to face with a furderlance snake. Not sure how it's spelled.... But I understand that if you get bit by one of those, your chance of survival is minimal. I was climbing a big Rock and as I pulled myself over the rock it was nestling in the sun after a meal (the guide said). So that was a but eye opening. From then we were always on the lookout for snakes on the trails.
Nice ride, I'm looking for a Troopy :)
Thanks! A troopy would be great if we had the money, surprisingly much more spacious!
Прекрасное путешествие!)
Wowe
Started watching when driving south came out trying to find pan american highway material, love the channel and hope you guys get the funds to keep going, seems like you're finding out the formula for views based on the last 2 videos hahahaha. good luck and love the interactions with the locals of these countries, keep it up!
Ah thanks a lot man! Yeah we're figuring it out for sure haha, it's tough right now, relying on TH-cam when you're a tiny channel is definitely a bit intimidating but we'll try our best to make it work. Thanks for watching!
❤
i've been to xunantunich. the ruins are incredible.
17:32 is that a plastic bottle that was left behind guys🤔🧐
Hello I'm from Colombia more specifically from Valledupar and I just saw them but I was sorry to ask for a photo
Cheers from Portland Oregon , last year I drove from PDX to Porter Escondido through Juarez, Guadalajara, Mexico City, Oaxaca city . With a few twists and turns I paused in Puerto Escondido. I needed to settle things at home soon I'll continuing where i left off.
What stopped you from continuing South?
Nothing stopped us! We're still going south.
Love this guys, Belize is great. You guys have done a lot of the same places as I did. Pine forest looks great. How did you guys swing auto insurance from BC?
Thanks man! Every country after the US requires its own insurance (except some central american countries which don't require insurance at all). Belize is simple as it gets, when you drive across the border the insurance agency is right there and it's like $20 for the month or so.
We are staying in Burrell Boom by the Belize river. There are crocs in it they say. Did you see any in the rivers you were in?
Depends on the season! When we were there water was really low and clear so no crocs!
You better Belize it 🇧🇿
Wow the editing is insane ! what program do you use ? cheers from a fellow Canadian :D
Thanks a lot man! I use Davinci for all the editing (free version) and then Google Earth Studio (also free) for the mapping. Nikki made the animations in the beginning using Blender!
Very nice video ..Which month did you enter? When is it rainy season
Thanks! We were there in July/August. Rainy season is June-November :)
You're really good - and I watch a lot of YT travel videos. You have what it takes! You should have lots more subs than you have, and I'm sure if you continue with this level of entertainment you'll get them for sure! More please!
Hey thanks a lot man! I'm just starting the next big video, we had one done a month ago and just as I finished rendering it we suffered a huge data loss :( But the next one will be great!
been to Belize several times and been all over pretty much. pine ridge national forest is pretty nice and i also stayed in ambergris caye. went snorkeling in Hol Chan marine reserve which is about 2 miles from ambergris caye. overall, its very dense jungle, under developed, no diversity. It all looks the same. the whold country is thick jungle pretty much and thats it. the beaches were not as good as i expected.
This video should be a documentary for National Geographic or the Belize tourism agency.
How can I get in touch with you about supporting your trip?
Hey thanks a lot! If you'd like to get in touch easiest way is through the website! Just send a chat and it feeds to my emails directly.
Dude, have you ever got the package from Amazon?
Yeah we juuuuust got it on the way out, it was super tight because we needed to send the mexican visas and paperwork before our customs appointment monday, so we crossed from Belize on friday at like 6am. But we did it haha
Did you have to get direct authorization to fly your drone?
Finally someone asked! I was going to mention this in the video but, the first time we were there we honestly had no idea there was a drone ban in the country, and all the drone vids are in this video are from our first visit.
The second time we went the drone was broken and at the same time we found out there was no possible way to get a drone permit for Belize anymore, you can't import/order a drone to Belize either. They simply don't issue foreigners permits for personal use anymore. You need to be hired by a company for a commerical permit. Only way.
@@goaloneTVI’m heading to Belize in 3 weeks and was well aware of the drone rules per their website. My next question would have been pertaining to the permit process. I will leave my drone at home for this trip. I appreciate your honesty!
Enable download please
Why is your vehicle set up for left-hand traffic?
Japanese import
Didnt you watch "Castaway" to learn how to get in a coconut ?
Your voice quality is few you should update your voice quality
Been living in Belize for a year and there are some very dark sides to Belize, I know of at least 3 gringos that have been robbed and murdered this year. I can only recommend Belize for a pass through. Belize is very expensive also and I find the locals untrust worthy. Also gringos mostly get charged double compared to locals which I find outlandish, it would be illegal for us to charge ‘black foreigners’ double.
my wife got sick inbelize and passed 3 months later afetr falling into a coma
That's really unfortunate, I'm sorry that happened
Hello sir,
I want to apply for the video editor/shorts video editor for your channel.
Can we talk. I want to show my portfolio so that you can think about it. Please!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Azad but for the main videos I do enjoy making them myself. If you'd like, send your portfolio to my email in the contact section on my channel and we can go from there
Beautiful place but high murder rate
Mostly in Belize city and due to some gang on gang violence, tourists are pretty safe there
From where the fuck do you have the money to traverse those distances - countries and so on all expanses attached to it. Me going from Bulgaria to Greece for a holiday it eats up for 5 days 700 euro.
6 years of savings, lasted about 10 months on the road. But now TH-cam is making*some* money
Ah understood, thanks@@goaloneTV
you didn't say anything about the crimes.
We just document what we experience, and we didn't experience any crime.
Thanks! The places you go, probably are not those places that the tourists go! you go to the best nature places that are hard for the average guy to go to! You two are awesome!@@goaloneTV
Bye-bye You also tell me nothing of Belize Because I am the leader I was born in Belize I don't know everything of beliefs We got coronavirus some victory
Thanks!
And thank you!
Thanks!
Thank you!
