"Our group had such an amazing time at Half Moon Caye Feb 4-10! So thankful to have had a wonderful trip before coronavirus shut things down. The guides were incredible and made the experience fun and educational. Ms Ann's cooking was excellent and she even let me help out in the kitchen one evening. There were a great variety of different activities, but I enjoyed snorkeling the most! Thanks for a great trip!"

"Andrew stole our money ($22,000) that we paid for a luxury Ecuador / Peru vacation. He also stole $8,000 from our friend that was meeting us in South America. He first took our calls in 2020-2021, then disconnected all numbers. We went to the credit card company, and were unable to get a refund. He is a scammer. Beware! The trip was in April 2020, but I finished with the credit card company in May 2022."

"I had an amazing time on the Costa Rica starter trip. This was my first time traveling solo and U30X was a great way for me to safely see another part of the world and meet new people. Our trip leaders were Adrian and Delphine; they were very knowledgeable and fun. It felt more like we were just hanging out with our friends who happened to know a lot about the country rather than following around tour guides."

"I’ve had two great adventures with this company. Both journeys offered a combo of moderate off the beaten path and times for luxury. Guides are highly knowledgeable and they offered us opportunity to go deep into history. I really appreciated some rugged moments. The South Africa trip was life changing for many reasons. They are great communicators and want to make sure you get answers and interests met. Both trips had very good hotels and food. Please try them if you travel to learn and participate in new cultures."

"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

"The tour had an excellent itinerary and activities, giving a broad overview of Peru - we loved it. Accommodations (with one exception) were great, and all had an included breakfast buffet. The tour's included activities (e.g. cooking class, pisco tour and tasting, potato park, boat tour of Isla Ballestas) were terrific. Appreciated the two included flights which saved a lot of driving time. Logistics were handled, and everything was smooth and easy (thanks to our CEO, Mary Chu!)."

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.
