    Enjoy legendary sealife, layered culture and laidback beaches on a luxury Belize tour

    History, culture, wildlife, adventure and a little bit of downtime: a bespoke tour to Belize with Jacada has it all. Our team will design your itinerary in this compact Central American country around your interests. Selecting hand-picked accommodations and connecting you with local experts. These guides won’t just show you their country; they’ll share it with you.

    On your luxury Belize tour you can explore forest temples carved with ornate hieroglyphs and discover underground sites like the Actun Tunichil Muknal (Cave of the Crystal Sepulchre) near the Cayo District, with its skeletons, ceramics and stoneware. You will be transported back thousands of years in Orange Walk, which is home to one of Belize’s several impressive ancient Mayan archaeological sites. 

    Belize boasts the largest barrier reef in the Western hemisphere allowing for some excellent diving and snorkelling opportunities. Dive around the colourful reefs in the warm Caribbean waters near Ambergris Caye. As you dip beneath the surface, look out for hawksbill, loggerhead and green turtles. 

    In turn, the misty mountains and dense jungle are perfect for hiking and ziplining adventures and there are waterfalls to explore, rivers to tube along and cave networks to discover. Turn your attention skywards and you’ll be treated to an array of vibrant avian life, such as toucans in the forest canopy and frigate birds along the coast. And, in the jungles look out for howler monkeys, jaguars and more.

    Start planning your incredible adventure with our team of travel designers and dedicated concierges, inspired by your passions and their first-hand experience.

    A word from one of our experts

    What I adore about Belize is that it doesn't just present history and nature – it draws you into them. You're invited to explore profound Mayan heritage, marvel at abundant wildlife, kayak along rainforest rivers and discover a breathtaking, untouched barrier reef. It's a small country that delivers monumental moments. Belize is the definition of experiential luxury.

    When to visit Belize

    The dry season between mid-November and late April is the best time to visit Belize for a beach holiday. As from July, the rainy season settles in and visitors can expect daily tropical showers.

    The best time to go snorkelling at Ambergris Caye is between December and May when visibility is at its best. Aim for April if exploring Mayan archeological sites is high on your list, it’s a dry month which means to won’t have to worry about rain and muddy trails.

    Diving and snorkelling

    April - June

    Fishing trips

    May - September
