When is the best time to visit Belize?

The dry season runs from late November through April and is generally the best time to visit. Skies are clear, the reef is calm, and visibility for snorkeling and diving is at its best.

What are the best beaches and cayes for a day trip?

Accepted Answer

From Ambergris Caye, Hol Chan Marine Reserve and Shark Ray Alley are the most popular half-day trips. Caye Caulker is a short water taxi ride from Belize City. From Placencia or Dangriga, Tobacco Caye and South Water Caye are accessible by boat and offer snorkeling directly off the beach.
