Tipping · 🇧🇿
Tipping in Belize
Customary: 10%–15%. 10% is normal. 15% at places used to visitors.
At restaurants
What is customary: A share of the bill, at any size
Worked example
On a BZD100.00 bill, 10% is BZD10.00, so you would hand over BZD110.00.
Tour guides
On a “free” walking tour, the tip is the fare: about BZD20.00 per person.
On a paid tour, 10%–15% of the price on top.
Expected. Dive masters and cave guides are tipped at the end of each trip.
The money
Belize uses the Belize Dollar (BZD). Today 1 USD is 2.0000 BZD.
Tipping in other countries
Customs vary by region, by venue and over time. Use your judgement and your eyes.
