Best Places to Visit in Belize

  • Ambergris Caye: One of the most popular Belize vacation spots, Ambergris Caye is a haven for beach lovers and divers. It’s the gateway to the Belize Barrier Reef, offering world-class snorkeling, diving, and waterfront relaxation.
  • Great Blue Hole: A must-visit for adventure seekers, the Great Blue Hole is one of the world's most famous diving sites. This massive underwater sinkhole is filled with marine life, stunning stalactites, and crystal-clear waters.
  • Cayo District & San Ignacio: For those who love history and nature, San Ignacio is the perfect base for exploring Mayan ruins in Belize like Xunantunich and Caracol. It’s also the gateway to exciting Belize jungle tours and cave explorations.
  • Placencia: Known for its laid-back atmosphere, Placencia is a great destination for beautiful beaches, kayaking, and wildlife spotting, including manatees and colorful tropical birds.
  • Hol Chan Marine Reserve: A top snorkeling and diving site, Hol Chan Marine Reserve is home to vibrant coral reefs, sea turtles, and nurse sharks. It’s one of the best places to explore Belize’s incredible marine biodiversity.

Best Time to Visit Belize

The best time to visit Belize is during the dry season, from November to May. This period offers warm, sunny days perfect for beach activities, exploring Mayan ruins in Belize, and diving in the Great Blue Hole. If you're looking for fewer crowds and lower prices, June to October is the off-season, but be aware of possible rain and hurricanes.

Top Things to Do in Belize

  • Snorkel or dive the Belize Barrier Reef, the second-largest in the world.
  • Explore the ATM Cave (Actun Tunichil Muknal), a sacred Mayan site with ancient artifacts and crystal-clear pools.
  • Relax on Secret Beach in Ambergris Caye, one of the most beautiful hidden spots.
  • Take a Belize jungle tour and spot exotic wildlife like jaguars, howler monkeys, and toucans.

Ireland The Emerald Isle A Traveler's Paradise
Reviewed By Jane S. - Dallas, Texas | Traveled to Ireland ~ Europe
I had a great experience working with Ahmer Khan as our travel agent. He was very helpful in organizing our family tourist visit to Ireland. He was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns that we had and made sure that our trip went smoothly. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a travel agent.
Ahmer Khan responded
"Thank you Jane, I'm glad to hear that your family had a great time in Ireland. It's always my goal to make sure all of our clients have the best possible experience when they travel with us and it sounds like we did just that! I'll be in touch soon about booking another trip for you or someone else on your team."
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Best adventure and most exciting trip Ive been on!
Reviewed By Jacob G - Austin, TX | Traveled to Costa Rica ~ Central America
Of all the vacations and adventures I've been on, none compared to this one. And this was all thanks to Ahmer and his compassion and commitment to making my trip so unique. I was very impressed by the locations that he chose. We made drives through places I have only read about. From the ocean views at the places we stayed nestled in remote rain forests to the deep jungle we explored, everything was not only exciting, but of envy to my friends and family. Every picture we took was something I had barely experienced prior. For me the thing that stood out was the feeling we had backpacking into the Ova Peninsula. I had never seen so much wildlife outside of a documentary. I am looking forward to our next engagement with Ahmer. I can not wait to see what he has planned for us in the future.
Ahmer Khan responded
"Hi Jacob, Thank you for your wonderful feedback. The Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica is certainly a favorite and feels almost like another world. The Corcovado National Park is the gem of the peninsula and we could have easily spent another week there hiking through the lush vegetation and experiencing the biodiversity of this jungle. Hope you get more opportunities to travel to amazing places. Cheers, The Hourglass Team"

9 days in Paris and Nice
Reviewed By TalhaK - San Jose, CA | Traveled to France ~ Europe
Ahmer helped plan and book my first family vacation in France. I was travelling to France on a business trip and decided to take a vacation afterwards. Ahmer was extremely approachable, knowledgable and friendly, and went out of his way to customize the trip for us. My family and I were flying in to Paris and returning from Nice. He planned and booked the air ticket and local tours for us. He even recommended against booking certain tours and do the activity on our own instead (to save time and money). He has travelled extensively throughout his life with and without his family - this sets him apart from other travel agents as he actually knows the destination thoroughly. I would definitely book my future trips with him.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

An unforgettable trip to Egypt 2023
Reviewed By Linda - Boston, MA | Traveled to Cairo ~ Egypt ~ Africa
Ahmer Khan was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, responsive, and attentive to details as we worked on planning a 10-day trip to Egypt for our group of friends. I have been to Egypt before several times and I knew in my initial conversation with Ahmer that he had an in-depth knowledge of Egypt that would make our trip seamless. While on the trip, I had to contact Ahmer a couple of times for questions and he responded immediately. This helped us feel supported even though we were so far away. Planning the trip with Ahmer also made the process easy and fun and I felt like I could talk to him for hours about our trip. From this point forward, I will likely never plan a major trip without Ahmer's assistance. It made the world of difference for myself and my friends and we returned with some of the most epic memories of lives, and we have Ahmer to thank for that!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

A trip to remember
Reviewed By Kashif - Sacramento, CA | Traveled to French Polynesia ~ South Pacific
We were on the fence about this trip and decided to go after talking with Ahmer. He helped a lot in planning it and made everything a breeze. Buying plane tickets, car rental, hotel reservations, things to do, you name it; Ahmer helped with all of them. We are so glad that we picked Ahmer because it was a trip to remember!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
