welcome to
BELIZE
Home to the second largest coral reef in the world, Belize is an obvious choice for a dive getaway! There are over 450 cayes (pronounced keys) lining the Caribbean coast. San Pedro on Ambergris Caye in the north is the most popular destination that embodies the true Caribbean 'chill' vibe. If you want something a bit quieter, Placencia in the south is a great choice for families. You have a handful of private islands and coastal towns to choose from. When it comes to diving, there's something for every level of diver.

The Belize Barrier Reef (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), beautiful beaches, lush rainforests, ancient Maya ruins (e.g. Caracol, Altun Ha), and wildlife such as jaguars and howler monkeys.
- Generally speaking, the best time to visit Belize is during the dry season, which runs from late November to mid-April. This is the most popular time for tourists to visit, as the weather is sunny and dry, making it perfect for outdoor activities.
- The rainy season starts in late May and lasts until early November, and while it can be more humid and rainy during this time, it is also a great time to visit as the landscape is lush and green, and there are fewer tourists.
when to travel
We suggest combining a few nights in the Mayan mountains with a few days on the islands!
