Travel Guidelines

While it is safe to travel, travel restrictions continue to remain uncertain and subject to change. Make sure always to check the official site and have all the information you need before coming to Belize.

When is the best time to visit Belize?

The best time to visit Belize depends on what you want to do, but many people like staying in the hot, dry season (November-April), where daytime temperatures are generally 80°F (27 °C). The rainy season (May-October) is also an excellent time for snorkeling and caving.

How safe is Belize for tourists?

Belize is a safe country to visit. But even so, you should not let your guard down. It would be best to avoid isolated areas, leave your items unattended, and stick to tourist destinations. Adventure sports activities such as snorkeling and diving have resulted in several injuries and fatalities so that something you should be careful about.

What is the best way to get around Belize?

Car, water taxis, and planes are the best means to move about Belize. The most convenient modes of mobility in Belize City are taxis and rentals. 

In Belize City and San Pedro, the major city on Ambergris Caye, taxis are cheap and easy to hail. Taxis usually cost between $6 and $14 BZD (about $3 and $7 USD). 

Water taxis and ferries go from the Marine Terminal to the outlying cayes, including the more popular resort cayes like Caye Caulker and Ambergris Caye. It takes around 80 minutes to get from Belize City to San Pedro on Ambergris Caye.

The people are friendly and welcoming, the beaches are stunning, and the culture is diverse.

Diving, snorkeling, fishing, hiking, birding, kayaking, and exploring are all popular visitor activities. Yet nothing compares to the hospitality, amenities, and luxuries of Belize’s vacation resorts.

Belize resorts grant limitless possibilities, with adventures awaiting in every turn.
