Belize City Tours in April 2026

I went in February, which was the perfect time to escape the cold weather back home. This tour struck a great balance between exploring ancient Mayan ruins, learning about local culture, and experiencing the incredible biodiversity of Belize. Walking through the ruins was like stepping back in time—truly awe-inspiring to see these structures that have endured for centuries. Our accommodation in Guatemala was conveniently located right next to Tikal, making it ideal for the sunrise hike since it was an early wake up. The final few days were spent on Caye Caulker, which was the perfect – true highlight of the tour, relaxing way to end the trip. We enjoyed the beautiful beach just steps from our lodging and had some unforgettable snorkeling experiences.

Very enjoyable trip with a nice mix of activities. The Mayan sites were amazing (especially Tikal). Our visits were timed to avoid the crowds. I also enjoyed the wildlife aspects of the trip. The optional snorkelling trips were brilliant. We had a great guide (Wilfred) who was a mine of information and also had an incredible ability to spot birds and other wildlife. The first 2 hotels after Belize City are on the basic side but they are clean and comfortable. What they lack in amenities is more than compensated by their amazing locations.

Really enjoyed the itinerary of this trip and would recommend to anyone thinking of visiting Belize. Highlights for me were the snorkelling trips in laughing cay and Caye caulker. Tikal was also a highlight and worth travelling over the border for. I would have liked an extra day at the jungle lodge here as it’s a beautiful place to stay. Justin our guide was great and kept us well informed and on time for every part of our trip. Some of the accommodation could be better considering the cost of the tour but the locations of all the accommodation was great. If you can it’s worth spending longer in Caye Caulker at the end of the trip. Be prepared that Belize is an expensive country to travel in.

It didn’t get off to a good start as the prearranged taxi that I paid £114 for wasn’t at the airport I waited for about 20mins then thought I should get a local taxi which quoted me $50 for the ride to Crooked Tree which was about 20km So I think Exodus ripped me off charging so much for a poor service The arranged taxi did eventually turn up and said he’d been there all the time which was a lie as it’s a v small airport and I would have seen him The trip itself was great with a lot packed in and an excellent guide Jorge who was unfailingly good humoured and v helpful and kind He even offered to lend me his glasses when I lost mine! The accommodations and food were all good The Jungle Lodge in Guatemala didn’t offer any drinking water except in plastic bottles which rather goes against Exodus policy The ATM caves were interested but I felt were a health and safety hazard as there would have been limited access for rescue services or evacuation Also the ancient artefacts were on the ground just taped off so could easily have been damaged by visitors and some already have been. I felt the administering authority should have taken better care eg providing walkways,emergency exits etc Finally I felt Caye Caulker was marred by a lot of plastic pollution bottles etc along the shoreline and the corals out at the reef were bleached I know that’s not an Exodus issue but maybe you feed back to the resort how to improve the tourist experience
