Visa requirements often change, and it is always worth checking your local government website for the most up-to-date information.

We always recommend speaking to your local doctors. We're not medically trained, so we cannot give official advice on the vaccines you need/don't need.

There are two main seasons to be aware of in Belize! December to April is the dry season, and you can expect sunny days with temperatures from highs of 28°C to lows of 22°C and little rain. The wet season runs from June to October, and this brings hotter and more humid weather with lots of rain!

November and May are great months to visit, as these fall in the "shoulder season" with fewer crowds and better prices, though occasional showers are possible.

The dry season, from December to April, brings the best weather: sunny days, clear blue skies, and warm temperatures. It’s the perfect time for swimming, snorkelling, sunbathing, and exploring the country.

We'd recommend tipping around 10% of the bill at restaurants and bars when you have had great service. This isn't essential, but it is a nice gesture. Your guide will be able to advise you more on tipping customs when you are exploring the country.

ATMs are usually easy to find in cities and towns across Belize. We would recommend bringing USD with you incase you cannot access an ATM. We'd recommend getting a travel card before you leave for your trip (Monzo and Revolut are great options.) Your Tru Leader will be able to help you with finding the best atms with the lowest charges.

Tap water is not always safe to drink in Belize, so we'd recommend sticking to bottled or filtered water.
