Tiny Belize is big on family vacation ideas
By Catherine George

The Central American country of Belize isn't quite so well known as neighbouring countries like Costa Rica or Mexico and other more popular sun destinations bordering on the Caribbean. And, that's too bad, because Belize makes for a wonderful and affordable family vacation destination. Located south of Mexico's Mayan Riviera, Belize is an English-speaking country (formerly British Honduras), with numerous, albeit little-known, Maya ruins, endless white sand beaches, coral reefs for snorkelling, blue lagoons for diving and kayaking and rainforests teeming with exotic plants, birds and wildlife.

Among tour operators that long ago recognized the potential of Belize is Vancouver-based Island Expeditions. It's been offering adventure trips to the country for more than 17 years, from hiking the interior rainforest of the Cockscomb Basin Jaguar Reserve to snorkelling and kayaking the reefs on the Caribbean. It also offers tours to the hidden caves and untold numbers of Maya sites, many still hidden beneath the forest. Family adventure programs this winter range from one week to 12 days and are offered weekly between Dec. 1 and April 26. Costs range between $1,596 and $2,599 per person, double. For full details and brochures, call 1-800-667-1630 or go to www.islandexpeditions.com.
