4.0 out of 5 stars improved new edition of a solid guidebook, February 9, 1999

By	Belize Traveller (North Carolina) - See all my reviews

The new edition of Harry Pariser's Belize guide (formerly called Adventure Guide to Belize) is a considerable improvement over past editions. The design, incorporating a two-column format, cleaner typography, and more boxes and breakouts, is vastly improved; it's far more readable than previous editions.

Harry Pariser is a seasoned travel writer, author of guidebooks to Costa Rica, Barbados, Jamaica and other destinations. He's done a professional job in updating his very detailed material in the Belize guide, although I'm hoping the next edition will have more on-the-ground revisions, especially on the remote cayes, Caye Caulker, and Placencia. Still, this edition is packed with information, with details not available in other guides.

5.0 out of 5 stars All we needed!, April 29, 2001

By A Customer

This excellent guide got us there and back in one piece, with all the travel and cultural information we needed to have a rewarding trip. It is easy to read, adequately covers the region, and includes various budget options. More importantly, it guided us off the beaten track for diving, birdwatching, caving, and jungle-trekking (as well as for a ruins romp). While some of the prices and accomodations may now be dated, the book is still a gem for its coverage of the national parks and Belize's wide variety of natural treasures.

Explore Belize is packed full of helpful tips on planning a trip to and touring Belize and the outlying cayes. Extremely useful for finding off the beaten track spots.
