Rare crewsweeper Posted June 16, 2015 #2 Share Posted June 16, 2015 US$ accepted. No need to exchange. Most excursion vendors will quote you the US$ amount. Likewise the pier shops and restaurants. The Belize $ is about 50 cents US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tropicbird Posted August 6, 2015 #4 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I've found it hard to even find Belizian dollars, and the prices of items in tourist areas are usually in USD. The last trip we were able to secure some Belizian notes for souvenir purposes, but one of the clerks had to disappear for a while to procure them!

I have a couple of friends that have shops in the Cruise Village. They have told me the policy is if they are given U. S. for payment they must give change in U.S.. Same thing at the Belize International Airport. Outside of the port you will probably get change in BZD. At the airstrips you will probably get change in BZD.

mccbeh Posted August 8, 2015 #6 Share Posted August 8, 2015 We only had USD and had no problem at all. I think they just use a 2:1 conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
