What else to do in belize besides cavetubing?

[kema1987]

Is there anything else to do in Belize besides cave tubing? We like to snorkel and do sporty things. Already did the ruins...:)

Very enjoyable snorkeling in Belize.

 

Other wise just shop.

ziplining. This area is supposed to be a place of wonders for divers. The reefs connect to those of other areas with fantastic fish.

We are going to zipline in Roatan, so I will look into snorkeling then...thanks:)

Shark Ray Alley is a really good snorkle trip and a trip to Caye Caulker thrown in with lunch and a little time to walk up and down the sand streets is one of the excursions we did and one of our favorites.

We have been there 2 times and if you leave the port area it gets pretty crazy outside the gates.The people are real pushy and we got offered drugs 2 times...Its pretty scary outside the gates.My wife has real long hair and the women were pulling her hair and kept asking her to get it braided.Another guy had a black shot glass and he kept asking me if i wanted to buy it and inside it was a bag of cocaine and there was another guy on the street that had a piece of leather that had Belieze on it but had a bag of weed in his hand under the leather.Please be careful and watch what you buy and dont bring kids outside the gates of the port.I am sure you would be fine but be careful!

Caye Caulker!!! Loved it! If you're into beer or rum, the Belikin Beer is great w/ some ceviche at a local bar, and pick up a bottle of One Barrel rum to bring home with you.

Although everyone does talk about the cavetubing... Belize sports the second largest barrier reef in the world to snorkle/dive. There are also some amazing Mayan Ruins to tour inland if you don't mind a bit of sightseeing drive... Anything outside of Belize city is nice and the people are great.

We like the Mayan ruins there. We did Altun Ha and the Rio Wallace our first time in Belize. This past time on our Dream cruise we did the ruins called Xuxantunich (sp?). These were fabulous and quite a challenge to climb. We celebrated our success with a few Belikin beers - YUM :D

Bannister Island....snorkeling, manatee reserve and a secluded beach with a bar....short boat ride from the pier.

I highly recommend the Land Rover & Cave Expedition! See link below. Well worth the $90-100pp.

With that, this is an even more reason to do an excursion through the cruise ship. From all the ports I've gone to, granted hasn't been a ton, this is the one port you don't want to stay on the ship because of the above, but take an excursion via the ship.

Four choices in Belize. Cave tubing, snorkelling, hang out in the tourist/pier area, or stay on the ship. That's about it.

You could take a public water taxi from the tender pier over to Caye Caulker. They are inexpensive and the island has excellent snorkeling.

 

If you do this plan ahead and understand the schedule since it is about a 45 minute boat ride, and then there is the tender ride back to the ship.

 

We did this and really enjoyed getting away while in Belize! It's an awesome place if you can get away from the cruise tours and crowds!

We did the "Captain your own boat", it was a blast.

I am going to do the airboat tour through Carnival in 2 weeks. I have never done a "ship" sponsored tour but this looks like the place to do one.

[golfgod003]

I'd HIGHLY recommend heading over to Caye Caulker. Even if you just enjoy walking around the island, or snorkel, it's truly a bit of paradise and a very unique place in this world of ours...

[kema1987]

Thanks for all the suggestions...there seems to be more options than I originally thought for Belize. I had heard Belize wasn't exactly a safe place to hang around. Probably a ship sponsored excursion would be best.:rolleyes:

[azrayne]

I mentioned the Manatee, snorkeling and beach break. I did this through this website. I highly recommend the company as did another person earlier.
