Belize's peak tourist season comes in the winter when American, Canadian and European travelers pour in to escape the snow in this subtropical paradise.

If you don't take the opportunity to visit Belize in the summer, you're missing out. This is a country that enjoys pleasant weather all year long and visiting in the summer season means avoiding the crowds of tourists and instead getting the opportunity to genuinely immerse yourselves in the lives of native Belizeans.

Birding in Belize

Birding is easy to do no matter where you go but it’s even easier in Belize. This is because Belize has lots of habitats that harbor literally hundreds of species. Many are common and it’s simple to start watching them at nature lodges and any number of hotels throughout Belize. Birding has become discovered by the younger crowd, has become “a thing”, and Belize is one of the best places to do it.

Travel Tips

Should you book your Belize tours and excursions after you arrive? Learn about getting last minute deals for your Belize vacation. While booking your tours and transfers until after you have arrived in Belize is not a bad idea, it is best if you do your research and book ahead of time to avoid any wasted time. We know it’s kind of boring and hassle-free, but we think it makes sense.

If you are only in Belize for a week and would like to experience as much of it as possible, then we highly recommend that you arrange your itinerary and book your activities ahead of time. That way, you will be able to pack according to your booked activities and your vacation will flow smoothly. And if there are any unforeseen circumstances or disputes, we are here to help resolve it for you and make it hassle-free to get any refunds you deserve.
