All Months
December through May gives you the best weather — dry season with steady trade winds keeping things comfortable. Visibility underwater peaks during these months too, making it prime diving time.
Christmas and New Year bring crowds and higher prices, but the energy is infectious. Everyone's in vacation mode, and the bars stay packed until dawn. Book accommodations well ahead if you're coming during holidays.
June through November brings rain and humidity, but also fewer tourists and better deals. The rain usually comes in short afternoon bursts, not all-day washouts. Hurricane season runs June through November, though direct hits on Ambergris Caye are rare. Just keep an eye on weather forecasts if you're traveling during peak storm months.
