1. Pay attention to the weather and seasons when booking your trip
A top tip for traveling in Belize is to pay attention to the seasons when you are planning and booking your trip. Consider what activities you plan to do in Belize. Consider the focus of your trip. Is it sunny days? Is it nature? Is it an outdoor adventure? Or it is tucking away into a resort or hotel and embracing all the land has to offer? Are you needing to cut as many costs as possible to make it affordable? Looking to avoid the crowds, or get stuck into them?

There’s no need for formal clothing in Belize. We recommend long-sleeved pants and shirts to protect you from the sun and bugs on jungle adventures. Pack hiking shoes, river shoes and sun protection.
