Trip Highlights

  • When to go

    Between November and May is Belize’s dry season with warm, sunny days and lower humidity. The rainy season is June to October, though temperatures are still warm and Belize is still a stunning place to visit at this time of year.

    BEST TIME TO VISIT

    We still felt like independent travellers but it was easy and stress free. We packed a lot in but never felt stressed about booking or organising things once there. My highlights were the Howler monkeys in the jungle and swimming with huge sea turtles.
