Tennis on Ambergris Caye
For nearly 150 years, the game of tennis has been a very popular sport for individuals to play, whether at home or on vacation, for exercise or competition. Visitors to Belize are no exception, as it’s a great way to get exercise and enjoy the beautiful Caribbean sunshine, at least that’s what Bill Gates thought when he played tennis here on Ambergris Caye.
Water Taxi to a Water Wonderland
The water taxi skims along the water. Its bow tilted up, and a trail of foaming water from under the stern spreads out into a "V" shape. The trip will take a little over an hour from Belize City to Ambergris Caye.
Why I Left North America
Betsy Rosenlund, one of ECI’s go-getter employees on Ambergris Caye, blames her love of traveling on her sweet Mom. From a young age, their family was always going somewhere, whether it was a road trip to Betsy’s Grandparent’s cabin in Montana, or visiting family members in Italy and Norway – every chance they had, they were on the road and on the lookout for adventure.
Healthcare in Belize
For being such a young and small country, Belize has a relatively well-established healthcare system. Belize operates on both a private and public system, meaning that you will find government operated hospitals and clinics in major towns and villages, as well as private medical practices.
Tropic Air Belize
Founded in 1979 by John Greif III with just a single airplane and only two employees, Tropic Air 40 years later, has grown to become a sound fleet of 15 small Cessna aircrafts. Tropic Air conveniently flies to 14 destinations in Belize, Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras.
