If you want to enjoy a land of ocean breezes and coconut trees, thick jungle canopies and magnificent hills, rivers and waterfalls then a vacation in Belize should be on your travel agenda - at least once in your lifetime. A vacation in Belize is filled with the possibility of adventure or the equally inviting option of doing absolutely nothing and loving every minute of it!
Summer is the rainy season in Belize but this doesn’t mean it rains everywhere all summer long. Rainfall varies depending on where you are and most showers occur during the night. So a vacation in Belize during the summer months isn’t likely to suffer many disruptions.
Many people worry about the possibility of hurricanes during a summer vacation in Belize. Indeed summer is hurricane season (June until mid-November) but according to hurricane statistics most hurricanes occur between August and October. It can take days or weeks for a hurricane to form and The NEMO system (National Emergency Management Organization) makes sure that emergency plans are put into place long before hurricanes hit.
The good thing about a summer vacation in Belize is that it isn’t likely to be crowded like some summer destinations. In fact Belize only has a population of about 250 000 so even if you include the holidaymakers it’s not known to become crowded. The busiest season in Belize is the fall and winter months (November to April) so a summer vacation can save you money in the form of discounts and lowered rates.
Tip: Travel prices are typically higher during November to April. To take advantage of discounts and special offers plan your vacation in Belize between May and October.
Tip: If you want to vacation in Belize and are a British subject or citizen of the commonwealth or from the U.S. Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Holland, Mexico, Norway, Panama, Sweden, Switzerland, Tunisia, Turkey and Uruguay and have a valid passport and an onward or return ticket from Belize you won’t need to obtain a visa.
