Belize is a small English-speaking country on the Caribbean coast of Central America, bordered by Mexico and Guatemala. Just offshore lies the Belize Barrier Reef, the largest in the Northern Hemisphere and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, dotted with sandy islands called cayes. Inland, rainforest, rivers and cave systems surround Maya cities that were abandoned a thousand years ago.

Why Belize for your vacation

Belize lets you combine two very different vacations in one short trip. Spend a few days on Ambergris Caye or Caye Caulker, where golf carts replace cars and the reef is a ten-minute boat ride away, then transfer to the Cayo District for jungle lodges, river tubing, cave adventures and the temples of Xunantunich and Caracol. English is the official language, the Belize dollar is fixed at two to one against the US dollar, and flights from Houston, Dallas, Miami and Atlanta are short. The country is relaxed, unhurried and compact; nothing is more than a short domestic flight away. Divers know it for the Great Blue Hole, snorkelers for Hol Chan Marine Reserve, and everyone else for the easygoing island rhythm.

What's included in a Belize package

Every package is built to order. A typical Belize package includes:

  • Round-trip airfare from your home airport to Belize City (BZE) on major airlines, with connections arranged where needed
  • Domestic flights or water taxis to Ambergris Caye, Caye Caulker or Placencia, and ground transfers to inland lodges
  • Your choice of accommodation: beachfront resort, island boutique hotel, jungle lodge, private-island retreat or dive resort, from well-known resort brands and independent hotels
  • Optional add-ons such as a Blue Hole day trip, Hol Chan snorkeling, a cave-tubing and ruins tour, a rental car for the mainland, travel protection or seat upgrades
  • All-inclusive dining, breakfast included, or room only, depending on the property; many jungle lodges include meals and tours

Belize is also a western Caribbean cruise stop, and we can pair a sailing with a hotel stay through our cruise packages. Call for current pricing on your dates.

Best time to visit Belize

Belize has a subtropical climate with daytime highs in the low to high 80s Fahrenheit all year. The dry season runs from late November through May, with February through April the sunniest and most popular months; the cayes catch constant cooling trade winds. June through November is the wet season, with afternoon downpours, higher humidity and lush jungle; the heaviest rain falls in September and October. Hurricane season spans June through November with the highest risk in the fall, so we suggest travel protection then. Whale sharks gather off Placencia around the full moons of April through June, lobster season opens in mid-June with festivals on the cayes, and Belize stays on Central Standard Time all year with no daylight saving.

Where to stay: areas and resort styles

Ambergris Caye, the largest island, has the widest range of resorts: beachfront hotels and condos north and south of the town of San Pedro, dive resorts, and private villas reached by golf cart or water taxi. Caye Caulker is smaller and more laid-back, with guesthouses and boutique hotels a short walk from the water taxi dock. Placencia, on the southern peninsula, offers the country's best mainland beaches, upscale resorts and easy access to whale-shark waters and the Cockscomb jaguar reserve. Hopkins is a Garifuna village with beach lodges and drumming culture. The Cayo District around San Ignacio holds jungle lodges on rivers and ridges, many with meals and guided tours included. Private-island resorts on remote cayes offer all-inclusive seclusion for divers and honeymooners. A classic itinerary splits the stay between jungle and sea.

Things to do in Belize

  • Snorkel with nurse sharks and rays at Hol Chan Marine Reserve and Shark Ray Alley
  • Dive or fly over the Great Blue Hole and Lighthouse Reef
  • Tube or kayak through limestone caves and explore the ceremonial chambers of the ATM cave
  • Climb the temples of Xunantunich, Caracol and Lamanai, reached by riverboat
  • Swim with whale sharks off Placencia in spring and hike the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary
  • Spot howler monkeys, toucans and manatees on river and lagoon tours
  • Learn Garifuna drumming in Hopkins and taste hudut, the coconut fish stew

Getting there from the US

Belize City's international airport receives nonstop flights from several US gateways. Typical flight times are roughly 2 hours from Miami or Houston, 2.5 hours from Dallas, 3 hours from Atlanta or Charlotte, 5 hours from New York, and 5 to 6 hours from Los Angeles with one connection. Domestic flights to the cayes take 15 to 20 minutes; water taxis take about 45 to 90 minutes. US passport holders need a valid passport and do not require a visa for tourist stays of up to 30 days; departure taxes are usually built into airfare. Verify entry requirements before travel. Driving is on the right.

Who this package suits

Couples and honeymooners love private-island resorts, jungle lodge spas and sunrise over the reef; ask about business class or first class flights. Families with adventurous kids enjoy snorkeling, cave tubing, ruins and golf-cart island life. Active seniors appreciate the English language, short flights and lodge-based touring; see our senior travel reservations. Dive clubs, weddings and reunions can hold seats through group travel flights. Solo travelers find Caye Caulker sociable and safe.

Yes. US passport holders need a valid passport but no visa for tourist stays of up to 30 days. Immigration may ask for a return ticket, and departure fees are usually included in your airfare. Entry rules can change, so verify them before travel; we confirm details at booking.

Both work. Private-island resorts and many jungle lodges include meals and tours, which simplifies remote stays. On Ambergris Caye and Caye Caulker, room only or breakfast included lets you enjoy beach bars and local restaurants. We can compare options for your itinerary.

Yes, for families with children old enough to snorkel and enjoy adventure. Hol Chan, cave tubing, river wildlife tours, ruins and golf-cart rides are big hits. Beaches on the cayes are small, and the sea is shallow near shore. Some caves, like ATM, have minimum-age rules.

Yes, especially for active seniors who like nature and culture. English is spoken, flights are short, and lodges offer guided tours with vehicles and boats. Some ruins involve climbing and cave tours require wading. Tell us about mobility needs and we will select suitable lodges and excursions.

Tourist areas, the cayes, Placencia and the Cayo lodges are generally safe. Use normal precautions with valuables, avoid the south side of Belize City after dark, use licensed guides and boat operators, and buy travel protection during hurricane season. Reef-safe sunscreen is required in marine reserves.

The Belize dollar is pegged at two to one with the US dollar, and US dollars are accepted everywhere; you may receive change in Belize currency. Cards work at resorts and larger restaurants. Tip 10 to 15 percent in restaurants unless a service charge is added, and tip guides and boat captains.

Book three to six months ahead for December through April, and earlier for Christmas, Easter and whale-shark season, because island resorts and jungle lodges are small. Wet-season trips can often be arranged a few weeks out with wide choice and lush scenery.
