Belize Holidays
south & central america
With a distinctly Caribbean feel that sets it apart from its neighbours, Belize has a unique mix of language, music and culture. For those seeking adventure the Cayo District is the perfect destination, and from here you can hike through the jungle to discover towering temples, explore huge cave systems or drift down winding rivers on a kayak. With more time you could venture deeper into Belize's jungles to track the elusive jaguar or swim with whale sharks off the coast of Placencia.
And don't forget Belize's beautiful barrier reef. Second only in size to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, these picture-perfect turquoise waters are dotted with over 450 tropical islands (or cayes) and boast an amazing diversity of marine life.
Trailfinders offers a wide range of Belize holidays and our dedicated team of destination specialists are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore Belize on a private tour, take a sociable small group tour, or are looking for advice on a multi-centre holiday – they are the perfect people to ask.

The best time to visit Belize varies by region but in general the sub-tropical climate is best from December to May, when warm temperatures and clear skies create an optimum travel environment and provide easy access the main attractions.
Belize can get quite humid in the summer months (June to November) and there is often more rainfall at this time, however this season benefits from less visitors and rainfall is generally limited a short afternoon shower. The heaviest rainfall occurs from August to October.

Belize Top Tips From Our Travel Experts
Michael Hoverd
The snorkelling and diving in the Hol Chan Marine Reserve, off the coast of Caye Caulker, is like nowhere else on the planet. Swim with schools of nurse sharks and manta rays, before reflecting on it with sundowners at The Split.
Hannah Farmery
The world's second largest coral reef lines the Cayes of Belize. Catch a flight over the famous Blue Hole or dive into its mysterious cavern. Swim with nurse sharks and ancient turtles. Snorkel with rays and dodge baracudas. The underwater paradise awaits your intrepid spirit.
Elliott Fisher
Visit the Actun Tunichil Muknal caves on the border with Guatamala. Here you will swim in to the caves, climb up boulders and walk in the pitch dark on some of the most alien looking cave formations. Witness the final resting place of Mayan skeletons, now calcified, illuminated by your head torch, the closest you will ever feel to being Indiana Jones or Lara Croft!
