It’s always a good time to visit Belize! With only two seasons, wet and dry, the odds of canceling your vacation are next to none. The dry Season, also known as the “high season” for travelers in the country, runs from late November to mid-April. These months coincide with winter months for the United States, Canada, and Great Britain, making it a perfect escape from the cold weather and just in time for spring break. March marks the beginning of all spring activities on the river and in the ocean. Days begin earlier with azure blue skies, warm sun, and crystal clear water for adventures under the sea.
Wet Season, or “low season” as locals call it, runs from May to October. Less people travel to Belize during this time to avoid the rush of large groups and cruise ship passengers. More private vacation packages are planned during the late summer- early fall to avoid overcrowded attractions and enhance the Belizean experience.
Since it is the wet season, there may be a few rainstorms around August, September, and October, which frequently lasts for over an hour before it moves to another location. These months are known for many local fests, special occasions, and especially Independence Day Celebrations. If you ask any locals or regular travelers to the country, they will say, ” Anytime is the Best time for an unbelizeable vacation”!
