My Uncle Mike went to belize, he loved it so much he moved there permanently

[@user-mj9nu4it6i]

My friends said Belize is a dangerous country, people move with guns free is this true

[@StonerSquirrel]

So did uncle Hank! Jack Welker brought him the tickets as a gift.

[@harbinger_9152]

I’m working towards being your uncle. …that came out wrong

[@texaschick6153]

I have lived in Belize for years. I totally agree with everything you’re saying. We also love Florez. The longest I’ve stayed there is two weeks and it is definitely worth the trip. Tikal is also a trip worth taking.

[@almazavala3934]

Whoa , Belize looks beautiful ❤

[@Hashassin95]

I spent 6 months in Belize in the British Army in the 80s an I absolutely loved it 👍🇬🇧 2:17

[@charlo8664]

What does the British Army do in Belize? Jungle training? Curious. I am retired military. While in Belize City I saw a military truck go by with British Soldiers.

[@roxanaostorga-zu9vy]

Interesante conocer sobre belice

Thxs. Great info, new Sub. Greetings from lovely Cancun. 😎

[@GeminiDiscover]

We love Cancun (and Mexico as a whole). Thanks for watching 🙏

[@thecyberseer]

Belize is so great for adventure tourism

[@GeminiDiscover]

It really is. We’ve had some of our most memorable adventures there.

[@viceieva]

Nice video ❤❤

Many many thanks 🙏

[@Aaron_Haymes]

Great informative video! Thank you. What are your thoughts on 10 days in Belize early August? Does this sound like a good time to go and enough time to see everything?

[@GeminiDiscover]

That is not a good time. Very hot and humid. Hurricane danger

[@PaBl0T1n]

Quick correction for those interested in location hopping: you can't fly into San Ignacio anymore, so shuttle/driving is your only option now.

[@GeminiDiscover]

Whaaat?? That’s news to us.

[@vegandogs]

Oh bummer

[@drewtimmer]

Very informative and helpful! How difficult is it to cross from Belize to Guatemala? Could you do it by car? Do you recommend a Tikal tour? Or can you visit on your own? Thank you!

[@GeminiDiscover]

Not difficult. We were dropped off at the border and took another shuttle bus there. The Tikal tour annoyed us and we left the group. I'm not sure how doing it alone works. You'd still need the ride

[@user-sv1oi8lh9t]

🌹🌹🌹

[@andifuss8141]

Your video is very helpful! Where did you stay along the way? Or did you have a few "home bases" that you would return daily?

[@deepikapillai3127]

What are your thoughts on a 3 day trip to Belize from Tulum, Mexico in late July?

[@filippopavarini9388]

Hi Gemini Discover, beautiful video. I’m planning a trip to Guatemala and Belize this AUGUST: do you highly recommend not to travel in there in this period, or there’s just more probability to have rain, humidity and nothing more? Thanks!!

[@GeminiDiscover]

You’ll have to check the forecast, but we personally find winter to be the best in terms of weather.

[@Goodygotit79]

Most excursions was $250. And up per person.

[@IjeneYourTravelBae]

If you cross over into Guatemala to go to Tikal do you need your passport? I mean I’m sure you do but I’m asking just in case?

[@GeminiDiscover]

Yes you need a passport every time you cross these borders

[@williamtaylor8806]

aww bummer. i watch your channel and live in Placencia Belize. but,,, you did not stop and say hi (frowny face)

[@GeminiDiscover]

Didn’t hit Placencia on this trip, but we have in the past and absolutely love it there.

[@trinakeith8904]

How did you travel to and from when you went to Guatemala?

[@GeminiDiscover]

Shuttle bus

[@reesef6030]

Do you recommend setting up tours via the hotel or with the local options oitside what the resorts offer? And should one have a mix of both Belizean and U.S. dollars?

[@paulchezkari6952]

Official language is English😂😂 didn't know!! Thank you. Very beautoful and informative🎉🎉

[@GeminiDiscover]

You're welcome 😊

[@Sullivani54]

Does your recommendations change for families with kids 9-14?

[@GeminiDiscover]

Not necessarily, but you have to make sure you understand the risks of traveling there like crime, violence, tropical diseases and critters

[@costtv]

Hi Gemini Im Taking My Family To Belize In August… What Would You Recommend San Pedro Or Caye Caulker ?

[@GeminiDiscover]

They are quite different. We enjoyed caye caulker a lot more. It's tiny and quiet. San Pedro is really busy but there is more...

[@costtv]

@@GeminiDiscover Thank you for such a quick response…

[@user-qm6ni6fv7j]

how can i connect with you would like to plan my anniversary next year in Belize?

[@GeminiDiscover]

We're not in that business anymore

[@eloisasanchez8388]

I’m going this weekend for 5 days staying in Ambergris Caye but should I stay there all 5 days or do two days in Belize City??

[@GeminiDiscover]

It depends on what activities you want to do. Personally, we would do a few days on Ambergris Caye and 2 days in San Ignacio.

[@eloisasanchez8388]

@@GeminiDiscover Thank you! That’s what I was thinking, getting an Airbnb in San Ignacio. I want to do the caves, Mayan ruins, zip lining, etc. probably not everything but whatever is most cost efficient

[@evelina2868]

Whats it like going from belize into guatemala? Do they let you go in as long as you have your passport? Are the rental cars from belize allowed in?

[@GeminiDiscover]

Entry was easy and instant. We haven't tried with a car

[@octaviajonesmedina5730]

How about the fishing ?

[@GeminiDiscover]

We hear it's amazing but we haven't done it

[@jamesjirik2245]

Excellent video it was the first one we’re actually took me for a tour a guided tour so thank you As a voice coach, I noticed that when I turn the volume down, I can hear you better it could be my phone but often it’s the tone of the person I recommend hire pitch tone for you, because I feel like it blends well with the trouble where is when you finish your word with a long drawn out base vibration of the throat muscle it can be a little unnerving with too much base. I think you’re very good highs with the treble so I say, definitely play to your strengths

[@GeminiDiscover]

Thanks for the audio feedback. I honestly know nothing about voice coaching, but now I’m very curious. If you have resources for a complete beginner, feel free to share them.

[@user-dy8uy2jl4k]

would be good to update your commentary. Since a few years it is no longer mandatory/necessary to drive with an escort to Caracol.

[@GeminiDiscover]

It is impossible to update a KZbin video unfortunately

[@rfksemperfi]

Came here for beautiful photos, instead found terrible filters

[@rohnwest4497]

Violent crime?? Especially around the ruins?? Google search freaked me out

[@GeminiDiscover]

There is and crime in Belize

Lived in belize... its very violant... most everyone i met were selling out... the goverment will take your property... most boaters avoid it now... they tryed to take my boat too...

Yes living is a lot different than spending a week

[@akherashepsutera2013]

​@GeminiDiscover I plan on moving there next year, so I've been watching videos for months, researching, and this was one of the most informative. Can you offer advice on safest and most comfortable places to live that are not on ambergris caye?

girl! 7 days??? I stayed there for years and have not seen everything! Plus i did spend almost nothing. Stop spreading it is expensive and live local style. Then you really learn this beautiful country.
