Cheapest and Most Expensive Times To Visit Belize

Most Expensive Times to Visit Belize

Belize is busiest during its dry season and around major holidays, which means higher prices on flights, hotels, and tours.

• Dry Season (Mid-December to Mid-April)
  This is the most expensive time to visit Belize. Clear skies and warm temps bring visitors from the U.S. and Canada. Beach towns like Placencia, Caye Caulker, and San Pedro book out fast. Hotels and tour operators charge premium prices during this time.
• Christmas & New Year’s Holidays
  One of the most crowded times of the year. International travelers fill up coastal resorts, and airfare to Belize City spikes. You’ll pay top dollar, especially for beachfront or island stays.
• Easter Week / Holy Week (March or April)
  Local and regional tourists travel throughout the country, and accommodations—especially in beach and inland tourist areas—fill quickly. Prices jump across the board.
• Lobster Festivals (Late June – Early July)
  Held in San Pedro, Caye Caulker, and Placencia, these seafood festivals attract big crowds. Accommodations near the event locations often see short-term spikes in rates.

Cheapest Times to Visit Belize

These months offer the best deals on hotels, flights, and excursions while still providing plenty of sunshine in between tropical showers.

• Late May to Mid-June
  Just after the dry season ends, there’s a drop in prices. It’s warm and humid, but still a great time for fewer crowds and lower costs.
• September to Early November
  This is the cheapest time to visit Belize. It falls right in the middle of hurricane season, and while direct hits are rare, storms and showers are more frequent. Travel slows, and hotels offer deep discounts.
• Mid-August to Early September
  With school starting back up and fewer international tourists, you'll find good availability and better rates on hotels, especially in less-visited parts of the country.

Best Time of Year to Visit Belize on a Budget

If you're looking for solid weather and decent prices, the best time to visit Belize is during shoulder-season months:

• Late April to Early June – Warm and sunny with fewer crowds. Dive conditions are still great, and accommodation prices are noticeably lower than in winter.
• Late October to Early December – Before the holiday rush, Belize experiences lighter tourism and lower rates. It’s a good time to explore Mayan ruins, inland caves, and the reef without paying peak prices.
