The Best Time to Visit Belize for Families and Groups
Planning a trip to Belize is exciting, but one of the first questions families and groups often ask is: “When is the best time to visit?”
The truth is, Belize is a year-round destination with warm weather, beautiful waters, and incredible adventures available in every season. But depending on your group’s preferences — whether you love action-packed excursions, quiet relaxation, or a mix of both — some times of year may be a better fit than others.
This guide will help you choose the perfect time for your Belize vacation, with tips specifically for families and groups of friends planning a trip together.
Belize Weather Overview
Belize has two main seasons rather than the four seasons many travelers are used to:
- Dry Season: Late November to May – sunny skies, calm seas, and the most popular time to visit.
- Green Season: June to early November – warm temperatures, showers, and fewer crowds.
Temperatures stay consistently tropical year-round, ranging from the mid-70s°F at night to the mid-80s°F during the day. That means you can plan a Belize trip almost any time of year and still enjoy beautiful weather.
Pro Tip: Casa Al Mar’s location on St. George’s Caye benefits from steady breezes that keep it comfortable even in warmer months.
Visiting During Peak Season (Late November – May)
Belize’s dry season coincides with many school breaks and holidays, making it a popular time for families and groups.
Why Families Love This Season:
- Sunny days perfect for snorkeling, fishing, and island hopping
- Calm waters for safe and enjoyable boat excursions
- Convenient timing for school holidays like winter break and spring break
Things to Consider:
- Book early — availability at Casa Al Mar fills up quickly during peak weeks.
- Holiday weeks such as Christmas and Easter are especially popular for family reunions.
- Expect higher airfare and demand for flights — another reason to plan ahead.
Many families find late March and early April to be the sweet spot — beautiful weather and exciting activities without the December holiday crowds.
Visiting During Green Season (June – Early November)
The green season is a hidden gem for groups looking for a quieter, more private experience.
Why It’s a Great Time:
- Better rates on the vacation rental
- Lush landscapes and vibrant greenery
- Often lower flight prices and better travel deals
Perfect For:
- Families with flexible schedules
- Friend groups seeking privacy and value
- Adventure seekers who don’t mind the occasional rain shower
Showers are typically brief and occur in the late afternoon or evening, leaving plenty of time for outdoor fun.

Regardless of when you plan to visit, booking early is key — especially for groups. Casa Al Mar is designed for 8–14 guests with a 5-night minimum stay, and our most popular dates are reserved months in advance.
Booking timeline tips:
- For peak season (December – April), book at least 6–9 months ahead.
- For summer or fall trips, booking 3–6 months in advance is ideal.
- For holiday weeks like Christmas, New Year’s, or Easter, secure your dates a year in advance if possible.
