Belize City, Belize
Are there any MUST SEE things in Belize? This will be my first time
in this port. If so, what is the best way to see to see them? My family and I have found that the pre-arranged excursions are not always the way to go. What is the best way to go with Belize? |

We have been to Belize twice in the last two years by ship. The first timewe
went with Reggie's cave tubing. It was an awesome experience and we were more than happy with the whole experience. The second time we had an infant with us so we booked with Coral Breeze and did the snorkeling excursion. Once again it was great. Both times had a lunch that was typical for the country and delicious. Both times we paid less than the ships excursion and both times we were back in time to do a little shopping. The first time got to see Belize inland and the second got to see some totally awesome islands and the barrier reef and stingrays, dolphin, and white shark. Love Belize!!!!!!!!! If interested go to Regtour.com or Coralbreezelimited.com |

Unfortunately, there really isn't time to see much during a one-day cruise ship visit. My recommendation for a great family outing would be cave tubing with Reggie. Howie |

I have visited two Mayan ruins, Lamanai and Xunatunich. I went snorkeling at Goff's Cay and I have gone cave tubing. You can find a few shore excursions here. http://www.regtour.com/ Becca -----loved the cave tubing...

You can walk to an old British prison, which is next to the US consulate. It
shows the history of the prison and there are photos of things that have happened in Belize and/or British Honduras. Very good shots of Hurricane damage. Mike Are there any MUST SEE things in Belize?

Which ruins were better and did both require a long bus ride? If so,
how long? thanks On Sat, 17 Apr 2004 19:38:41 -0500, Becca wrote: Crescent wrote: Are there any MUST SEE things in Belize? This will be my first time in this port.

I just got back from Belize. I did a tour to Altum Ha. It was a good tour,
although it was a four hour tour, and we were on the bus for about three of them. I talked with a lot of people who went cave tubing. They said it was also a great tour, but on that one expect about three to four hours total on a bus, with a good hike in the jungle, too. Other than the immediate port area, walking around Belize City is not a good idea. The city is extremely poor by US standards, and there really isn't much to see in the city anyway.

Tom Smith We just got back last week from our 4/4/04 cruise on Royal Caribbean's Voyager/Seas. We did Cave Tubing in Belize, originally with Coral Breeze, but they didn't make our early arrival, so Marvin with Eco Tours Belize (http://www.ecotoursbelize.com/packages.html) took us. It took us only an hour of driving, so about 2 hours total spent in the van that seated 10 comfortably. Nice small group compared to the huge amounts of folks that we saw coming after us. The jungle hike was not too tough at all, mostly flat walking, and I am not in shape, so that should mean something. We did feel that we were constantly rushed, though... the river didn't move that fast so you had to paddle a lot. I would've loved to spend the whole day just floating down the river... without the 100's of people that would plow me over, of course. :-) Just be careful doing an independent tour in Belize... if you have 8 hours in port (really, only 7.5 hours because ship has "last tender" at 30 minutes before leaving), you might be taking a risk. We lucked out; our ship's "cave tubing" tour bus was broken down on our way back, so we knew we'd make it back before they did, and even if we were late our ship wouldn't leave because it'd be waiting for them. We really enjoyed our trip due to the small group, enjoyable surroundings, and good food even! (The BBQ chicken was great!) I think next time (yep, I think there will be a next time!) I would like to do the Lamanai ruin, which I think involves a river boat ride. David |
