ABOUT GREEN PARROT

To have the most fun in Belize, make sure that you travel light, but be sure that you bring what you need.

CLOTHES

Belize is a very informal country. Casual summer clothes with a light-weight windbreaker are sufficient. If you plan on going to the jungle, bring long-sleeved shirts and pants; shoes wet socks, and or hiking boots – all are good ideas. Also, don’t forget a hat.

COMMUNICATION

Check with your cell phone provider about an international plan. 

SNORKELING

Visitors are encouraged to bring their own, but we do provide equipment on tours. 

CURRENCY

The Belize dollar is tied to the US dollar at a rate of 2 to 1. This means you get $2 Belize for every $1 US. US cash works best. We can charge all of your tours, meals and resort purchases via all major credit cards.

Each person cannot bring more than $10,000 US into the country. please ensure your credit card has no foreign transaction fees. 

ARRIVAL

There are two options when coming to our Resort.

Option one is to fly in on a local hopper flight. this takes

approximately 25 minutes from the international airport to

Placencia where our shuttle will pick you up and bring you to   the

resort. This cost is already included in the cost once flight is

booked directly through the Resort.

If you book your own local flights, we charge $20.00 USD. per transfer

for the local shuttle upon arrival and departure. 

Feel free to inquire about the cost and availability of local flights, and we can manage the booking for you.

Option 2 would be a land transfer from the Belize City Airport. This is an amazing drive as you can enjoy the beautiful scenic drive through mountains and farmlands. This is at an additional cost. Please note that this is a 3-hour drive.

EQUIPMENT

Binoculars are an absolute must-have in this spectacular & diverse country. A flashlight with fresh batteries is also a good idea – as the roads and beaches are not lit at night. Don’t forget the sunblock and insect repellant, especially if you are going to the jungle.

TIME ZONE

Belize is on Central Standard Time (CST) year-round.

SCUBA DIVING
