What travelers are saying

"The trip was well laid out. Tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable. The only complaint is some of our travel documents that were sent out were not in English. If your sending documents out correspondence should be in both the native language and the language of the people the correspondence to. Other than that a great first time experience."

What travelers are saying

"I recently returned from the Costa Rican wildlife safari. I was a bit concerned with Covid however every place was extremely clean and had places for you to wash your hands before you even walked in. This was a trip I was actually supposed to go on in 2020 however it was postponed, waiting so long the expectations were high. I was definitely not disappointed! Patricia our guide was absolutely wonderful, extremely knowledgeable and cater to our every need. I would highly recommend this vacation. Also everyone that I met in the community was extremely gracious and kind. The majority of these people work on tourism and unfortunately in the last year have not had any. Booking this trip would not only be an amazing adventure for you but it would also be amazing for the people in the community"

What travelers are saying

"We have loved Gate 1 and always sing their praises. We've been on 7 tours with another one booked for fall. We were supposed to leave for Ecuador this week, however the country is in a 60 day state of emergency with the escape of 2 infamous gang members. Tourists are advised to stay indoors and there is a daily curfew from 11pm-5am. (our flight was to land at 11:15pm). Our trip included stays in 2 of the main cities of unrest. There have been shootings, car bombings, hostage taking, closing of embassies, and other countries issuing do not travel warnings. Other tour companies have cancelled tours or offered refunds or rescheduling. Travel insurance does not cover wars or civil unrest, but we are clearly afraid to go there. Both we and our travel agent have reached out multiple times with our concerns and asked if we could reschedule or get some sort of credit. We continue to get the same reply either in person or via email...Gate 1 has your safety as our highest priority and we feel you are safe ("they are not targeting tourists") and your itinerary should not be impacted. What? Their highest priority is $ and not our safety. There is no way that's the tour we anticipated. We cancelled the trip and took a 90% penalty, loss of deposit, and $276 airline penalty. It's a LOT of money, but we would have been terrified, and it's not worth getting hurt or worse. Sorry, but it's not the company I want to do business with in the future."

What travelers are saying

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."

What travelers are saying

"We spent two wonderful weeks touring several of the best destinations in Portugal & Spain with a group of 16 people. Our guide (Fredy) was from Spain and intimately familiar with the region, including its rich history, attractions, and food/beverages. The tour was well-paced using a combinations of private vehicles (small buses and cabs), trains, and an airplane ride as well as a fair amount of walking to get around these two beautiful countries. We extended our stay in Lisbon to see more attractions and took a side trip to Fatima, Obidos, and Nazare that was also excellent. Would have liked to have a bit more time in a couple of the cities, but we'll just have to plan another trip!"

Belize Tour Selection Trips

  • Flights are the most convenient and scenic way to get around the country and the national airline is Tropic Air. Propeller planes head north or south from central hubs and run like bus routes, making stops to pick up and drop off fellow passengers - even locals out running extended errands.
  • To maximize time in the country, be sure to spend a few nights in the jungle and a few nights on the coast. Try Ambergis Caye for beautiful beaches and world-class diving, Placencia for boho-luxe hotels and island hopping, and the Cayo District as a launch point for jungle lodges and Mayan ruins. Consider the less-traveled southwestern corner near Guatemala for even more remote forests and wildlife spotting.
  • November through May is considered peak season and June through November is off-peak. Those summer months are hot but still a nice time to travel; the rainy season is mainly concentrated in September and October.

Additional details

When considering a tour to Belize, you’ll want to think about the physical level and the lodging level. Most belize tours could be classified as either “Value (3 star)” or “Basic (2 star)” meaning your accommodation will be comfortable but with few amenities.

Who Will Enjoy Traveling in Belize?

Belize has plenty of opportunities for everyone in the family. There are awesome water activities and incredible beaches for those who like to relax and enjoy the water. There is jungle hiking and Mayan ruins to visit for those who want a different experience in nature. The mixture of relaxation and adventure is perfect, and everyone will be able to find something that they enjoy.

It’s important to note that Belize is largely an outdoor travel destination. If you’re not into spending a lot of time out in nature, you may not like the kind of travel Belize tours have to offer.

Belize Guided Tours

Belize is a very active country, and your tour will likely include many different outdoor activities. These may include, kayaking, caving, hiking, scuba diving, snorkeling, and sailing. 

You can usually choose between different excursion options on the itinerary - sometimes a quieter choice such as a museum visit or archaeological tour will be available. Or you can simply opt out of the activity and spend a free day for some shopping or lounging at a cafe to watch local life go by.

Or you can consider a more Premium or Luxury tour where the activity level will still be high, but you’ll have more comfortable surroundings to rest in after a long day in the sun.

What Should I Pack for Belize?

Belize is pretty warm year-round, so bringing summer clothes is the way to go. T-shirts, shorts, beachwear are all necessary. In case it gets chilly, or you want some sun protection, a long sleeve shirt and long pants are good recommendations. For those looking to get out and go hiking, this is a smart idea for when you’re out in the jungle. You should also bring a light waterproof jacket in case it rains or gets a bit chilly.

Sun protection is also necessary! Bring a hat and sunglasses with UV protection to protect your face and eyes. Sunscreen should also be packed. If you’re going out snorkeling, look for a sunscreen that is reef-friendly as well. Bring insect repellent if you’re going hiking, as well as a small first aid kit.

Best Times to visit Belize

Belize is in Central America and is subtropical in climate - remaining hot and humid year round.

The best time to visit Belize is in November to mid-April, which is when Belize has it’s dry season. It’s a great escape for people in the Northern Hemisphere trying to get away from the cold winter. Expect to find warm, tropical weather (the daily average temperature is around 80 degree Fahrenheit), and sunny clear skies. 

For those looking for an awesome snorkeling experience, this is the time to go, as the water is clearest during the dry season. End of April through May brings a jump in temperature, with daily averages reaching the high 80s, with a rise in humidity as well. 

The rainy season in June through October is the low season, and often business shut down during this time of year. Generally you’ll experience less crowds and cheaper prices when traveling during this time. It is hurricane weather though!

What is the currency in Belize?

In Belize, the currency is the Belize Dollar, and is abbreviated as BZ$. The coins come in the options of one cent, five cents, ten cents, 25 cents, 50 cents and one dollar coins. The banknotes are available in BZ$2, BZ$5, BZ$10, BZ$20, BZ$50 AND BZ$100.

Getting to Belize

If you’re traveling to Belize, there is the option to fly into Belize Airport (Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport). If you’re in a neighboring country, such as Mexico, there are bus options from places like Cancun and Playa Del Carmen. Belize is also a popular stop among cruise ships, so there is a chance that your boat will stop in Belize if you’re taking a small ship cruise.
