Generally enjoying a hot and humid climate year-round, the temperature rarely fluctuates more than 4°C at any time of the year and often exceeds 30°C, but there can be huge seasonal variations in rainfall which should be taken into consideration.

Tristan was absolutely helpful and answered any questions promptly and in the best possible way, solving any doubts. The whole experience was awesome. Everything went perfectly; pick-ups, transportation, and activities. The hotels were stunning. Surprisingly everyone was telling us how wonderful Turtle Inn would be and my husband and I fell in love with Chan Chich. The location and the safaris around it were wonderful. The morning monkeys hanging around our cottage is something money can’t pay. The snorkel was absolutely breathtaking with turtles, sharks, and stingrays swimming with us. Blancaneux is also a stunning site to stay. The people at the three locations were nice and personal. Loved it.
Belize was new to me and was a really interesting destination, with its variation in terrain, birding, activities and what to see. The trip was planned as much as possible to my wishes!
It was great that our Destination Specialist, Tristan, had been to Belize just before we booked and had up-to-date information on all the places we wanted to go to. The howler monkeys were fantastic and we also saw a lot of birds and a couple of crocodiles. The app worked fine – it was very convenient to have the documents on our phone – and all of the arrangements worked perfectly. Accommodation and guides were excellent throughout. The trip was tailor-made to our requirements and was just right!
