Ray Caye Island Resort

Why Belize Should Be on Your List

It’s now summer, and with only a few months left until December, don’t let your precious 2025 vacation time slip away. If you have even a single opportunity to take a trip this year, then you owe it to yourself to consider making Belize your vacation destination.

The Basics 

Belize is a tropical paradise that borders the Caribbean Sea and is the only country with that quality where English is the official language. If your lack of fluency in Spanish has deterred you from exploring Central America, Belize is a shining miracle for English speakers seeking fun in the sun and crystal-blue waters.

Belize Festivals

Belize’s vibrant festival calendar truly comes to life in the final quarter of the year. September sets the stage for the festivities to come, with celebrations like the Battle of St. George’s Caye Day commemorating a historic victory and the colorful Carnival Road March leading up to the grand celebration of Independence Day on September 21st.

October is steeped in culture and tradition, starting with the eagerly anticipated opening of the conch season. The month honors Indigenous Peoples’ Resistance Day and also showcases the thrilling Belikin Spectacular bull fishing tournament. As October ends, the festivities peak with Halloween, which is locally recognized as Day of the Dead or All Soul’s Day.

Transitioning to November, Belize celebrates Garifuna Settlement Day, highlighting the significant heritage of the Garifuna community. Dance X Belize and the Stann Creek Agricultural Fair further enliven the month.

December in Belize is festive and diverse, beginning with the luminous Annual Holiday Boat Parade in San Pedro. The endurance of runners is tested in Placencia’s End of the World Marathon. Traditional events like the Maya Solstice, Christmas, Kwanzaa, and Boxing Day—with its exhilarating horse and cycle races—round off the year’s celebrations.

Belize Barrier Reef Tours

Belize is home to the penultimate largest barrier reef on the planet and has hundreds of little islands, called cayes. When you combine this information with the near-constant tropical temperatures and climate of this country, you have plenty of opportunities to go diving, snorkeling, fishing, wave-riding and even riding an inner tube along subterranean riverways, known colloquially as “cavetubing.” Even if you are unfamiliar with diving or snorkeling, there are plenty of certified venues that can teach you.
