Exploring Belize: What To Know

Ready for an unforgettable trip to Belize? This vibrant country is packed with stunning natural beauty and rich cultural experiences. Before you dive into your adventure, it's essential to be prepared. Whether you're planning to explore ancient ruins, relax on pristine beaches, or hike through lush rainforests, a few key travel tips will help you make the most of your visit.

Best Time To Visit

From approximately late November to mid-April, the dry season yields less rain and more tourist activity than the rest of the year. However, any time of year is a great time to go on a tour or excursion in Belize! This country loves to celebrate, so check out the many holidays Belize celebrates when booking your cruise and planning your vacation.

Transportation

Belizeans primarily use public buses, often retired American school buses painted in Caribbean colors, which are cheap, reliable, and frequent. You can catch these buses at terminals in larger towns or flag them down on the road in smaller places. Pick-up by taxi is suitable for shorter Belize City excursions, while rental cars offer hassle-free travel around Belize City. For water transportation, water taxis provide regular service between Belize City, Caye Caulker, and Ambergris Caye, with hopper planes also available for these popular destinations. When visiting popular destinations like San Pedro on Ambergris Caye, golf cart rentals are a great way to get around quickly.

Climate

Belize enjoys a warm, tropical climate, with temperatures typically hovering around 80 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the year. This pleasant weather makes it an ideal destination for outdoor activities and beach excursions. However, the strong Caribbean sun means it's crucial to apply plenty of sunscreen to protect your skin. If you forget to pack sunscreen, don't worry—you can easily find it at nearly any gift shop or supermarket.

Currency

The official currency of Belize is the Belize dollar (BZD). Despite the local currency, US dollars are widely accepted across the country, making it convenient for travelers from the United States. When paying with US dollars, you'll often receive change in Belize dollars, so it's helpful to be familiar with both currencies. Credit cards are also accepted in many places, especially in tourist areas and larger establishments, though it's wise to carry some cash for smaller vendors and more remote locations. Always check with your tour guide for specific advice on handling currency during your travels in Belize.
