A cruise to Belize immediately reveals a wilder, more adventurous side of the Caribbean: the blue waters of the reef, cayes dotting the barrier reef, Maya sites in the jungle, and small boats connecting Belize City with the islands.
A port call can take many forms: snorkeling at Goff’s Caye, a relaxing day at Harvest Caye, a stroll around Caye Caulker, or an excursion to Altun Ha and the rivers inland.
Belize is for travelers who want more than a beach: a day of clear water, Maya culture, mangroves, Creole cuisine, and the feeling of reaching a remote tropical outpost.

| Season | Weather & swimming | Expert advice |
|---|---|---|
January - March | Very favorable conditions, but higher demand. Excursions to the reef, cayes, and Maya sites are particularly popular. | Book key outings early, especially if you want a snorkeling excursion or a visit to a Maya site that fits the ship’s schedule. |
April & December | The most comfortable period. Drier weather, more pleasant temperatures, and better conditions for snorkeling, Maya sites, cayes, and inland excursions. | The best choice for a first cruise to Belize, especially if you want to combine the reef, a beach, and a cultural tour. |
May - June | Still appealing, though the heat is more noticeable. Showers become more likely, but conditions can remain good for boat trips and excursions. | A good compromise if you prefer a slightly less crowded atmosphere, provided you keep your plans flexible. |
July - November More variable weather, with more frequent rain, humidity, occasionally less favorable sea conditions, and a risk of tropical disturbances in the region. Consider this period with caution for a cruise focused on Belize. Itineraries may be adjusted based on the weather. | ||
In Belize, the highlights of a port call span sea and jungle: the reef, cayes, Maya sites, rivers, and coastal villages each reveal a different side of the country.

Goff’s Caye
For a focused, enjoyable outing from Belize City featuring a tiny caye, the reef, and clear water.

Hol Chan Marine Reserve
For one of Belize’s best-known snorkeling experiences, with abundant marine life when conditions are right.

Caye Caulker
For a slower-paced, easygoing island atmosphere that travelers love.

Altun Ha
For an easy-to-reach Maya excursion from Belize City, with stone temples and a pace that fits a port call.

Lamanai
For a more immersive experience combining a river cruise, tropical forest, and Maya ruins.

Nohoch Che’en
For caves, the river, and a more active way to explore inland Belize.

Great Blue Hole
For its spectacular appearance from the air, especially on a scenic flight or as part of an extended itinerary.

Secret Beach
For the shallow water, docks, and relaxed atmosphere of Ambergris Caye.

Harvest Caye
For a memorable port call with palm trees, a beach, a lagoon, and water activities.

Caye Caulker
For ceviche, lobster in season, casual bars, and the “go slow” atmosphere.

Placencia
For a more authentic seaside village, with grilled fish, docks, and small, quiet local spots.

Belize City
For a quick break around Creole dishes such as rice and beans, simmered chicken or garnaces.
Swim along the barrier reef at Goff’s Caye
Goff’s Caye is often described as one of the simplest yet most memorable experiences from Belize City. Travelers love the tiny islet, clear water, tropical fish, and the feeling of stepping directly onto the barrier reef.
Discover Altun Ha among Maya temples and tropical forest
Altun Ha adds genuine cultural depth without requiring an overly long expedition. Travelers enjoy the stone temples, clearings, and vegetation surrounding the site, as well as the contrast with the Caribbean’s purely beach-focused scenery.
Slow down on Caye Caulker during a port call
Caye Caulker stands out for its wonderfully relaxed pace. Sandy streets, small seafood restaurants, docks, the Split, and the “go slow” atmosphere reveal a more local, island side of Belize.
Take a boat to Monkey River from southern Belize
From Harvest Caye or Placencia, Monkey River offers a more nature-focused experience than a traditional beach day. Travelers enjoy cruising through the mangroves, spotting birds, hearing howler monkeys, and discovering a wilder side of Belize.
Enjoy ceviche on Caye Caulker after snorkeling
Travelers often mention this stop because it is a natural extension of a day on the water. After an outing on the reef, ceviche, seasonal lobster, or grilled fish by the sea makes for a simple, authentic, and memorable port call.
Explore the Nohoch Che’en caves by inner tube
Nohoch Che’en is ideal for travelers seeking a more active port call. The combination of a jungle walk, river, limestone caves, and an inner-tube float creates an experience far removed from the beaches while still centered on the water.
Formerly known as British Honduras, Belize covers a total area of 22965Km², overlooked by small mountain ranges. Dominated by Victoria Peak and criss-crossed by cascades, waterfalls and numerous rivers, these Mayan mountains culminate at an altitude of 1122 m, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding jungle. A prime destination for caving enthusiasts, this small country abounds in exceptional caves, including the must-see Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM). Witness to Mayan customs and often difficult to access, these sites can be visited in their original state.
Criss-crossed by the Rio Belize and Rio Hondo rivers, natural borders with Mexico, Belize is a leading nautical destination. Its greatest pride is undoubtedly the coral reef to be explored at Ambergris Caye. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this 300 km-long coral reef is a paradise for diving and snorkelling. Protected as part of the Belizean Cayes, the 300m-diameter, 124m-deep cenote known as the Big Blue Hole is known as one of the most beautiful underwater sites in the world. Stretching 7km long and 600m wide, Caye Caulker invites you to escape, with its village of houses on stilts and clear, warm waters offering visibility down to 60m. In Belize, nature has so much to offer. With its black orchids known as Belize's national flower, the jungle awaits the most adventurous. Encounters here are as surprising as they are unusual, whether with the howler monkey with its raucous, powerful cry, the tapir (mountain cow) or the rare jaguar, which can be seen mainly at the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, a 40,000-hectare reserve.

An English-speaking country, Belize is a multicultural destination. While the port of Belize City is bathed in a Caribbean atmosphere, the Jamaican ambience awaits visitors throughout the capital of Belmopan. The colorful wooden cabañas lining the streets of Belize City blend into the unspoilt natural landscape, where Mayan remains have stood for centuries. This is particularly true of the Altun Ha site and its famous jade sculptures, including the head of the sun god K'inich Ajaw, weighing 4.42kg. Once part of an empire that stretched across Central America, in particular Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico, Belize boasts such must-see archaeological sites as El Caracol, Laes, Cerros, Cahal Pech, Lubaantún, Nim Li Punit, Xunantunich with its 40m castillo and Santa Rita. Inhabited by the Mayas as early as 1500 BC, the jungle-dwelling Lamanai site invites visitors on a fascinating adventure lasting an average of 3 hours....
The city's architectural heritage is also reflected in more recent buildings. Among the must-see monuments of the colonial era are the Palace of Justice, built in 1926, Government House, dating from 1814, and St John's Cathedral, the oldest and most important Anglican sanctuary on the continent. The Victorian mansions of the Fort George District, the Bliss Institute cultural center and Battlefield Park are also well worth a visit.
With its subtropical climate, Belize is best visited from December to April, with sunny days, light sea breezes along the coast and little rain. The average annual temperature is 26°C. To take advantage of competitive accommodation prices, the low season (June to October) is the best time to visit.
As Belize's gastronomy combines Mexican, American, Chinese and Indian cuisine, there are specialties to suit all tastes and budgets.
