A commonly asked question is “When is the best time to visit Belize?” We’re here with an answer! For many, Spring is the holy grail of sun, sand, and sea. You’ve made it through the darkest time of the year, ready for a full dose of Vitamin C, or Vitamin Sea, if you please.

Travelers from all over the world flock to Belize each year to enjoy sun, sand and the Barrier Reef. Located in Central America on the Caribbean Coast, Belize has the best of both worlds and sits just below the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico.

Hol Chan Marine Reserve is located 4 miles south of Ambergris Caye and snorkeling there is a must-do while staying on La Isla Bonita. The oldest of Belize’s Marine Reserve, Hol Chan is named for the Mayan words meaning “little channel.” The majority of the reserve is located on a cut in the reef which is about 23 yards wide and 30 feet deep. Hol Chan is a very popular snorkeling site for adventurers of all ages and experiences, as it is fairly shallow yet offers a multitude of marine life. We’ve put together 8 reasons why snorkeling on Hol Chan should be on your Belize Bucket List.

Belize has many holidays, some of which are familiar, like Christmas and Easter, and others that are unique to the country. Each year in November the focus turns fully to culture, history, and celebration.

One of the most common questions we receive about Belize, other than what there is to do here, is “How do I get to Ambergris Caye from the International Airport?” Wonder no more. The Phillip Goldson International Airport (PGIA), airport code BZE, is located in Belize City on the mainland of Belize. In order to get to Ambergris Caye, you need to arrange for local transportation to the island. There are two options for this, both with their own pros and cons. Take a look below as we break it down for you.

When you think of vacationing on Ambergris Caye, you might picture palm trees, the barrier reef and lazy days by the pool. Check, check and check. But did you ever wonder about just how you might travel around the island, should you want to explore or check out the restaurant scene in San Pedro Town? We’ve rounded up two local experts to help shed light on how they do it, and what is available for visitors. Golf cart ride, anyone?
