Cheap way to enjoy Belize

[CarolinaQC]

Hi!
Me and 5 friends are going on MSC Meraviglia in December and we are stoping at Belize.
We are quite on a budget, we want to save as much money as possible, but we also whant to enjoy belize and not just stay on the boat...
What's the best and cheapest thing to do in Belize?
I've read about caye caulker ferry bus and about King David tours..  Do you have other recomendations? 
Thank you very much

If you and your friends would like to see Mayan ruins, then a private excursion to Altun Ha with a stop at the Travelers Liquor Heritage Center and maybe a visit to the original BELIZE sign near by  on return would be one thing.  Cave-tubing is unique to Belize and again a private excursion would be cheaper, less crowded than a ship excursion.

 

For a really low cost adventure, grab a map and do a walking tour of Fort George and downtown Belize.  There are museums, like the Museum of Belize in the Fort George area as well as a walk along the Marine Parade promenade past the lighthouse and new BELIZE sign.  Just walk over the swing bridge and go down Albert Street to the Anglican church.  Across the street is the old Colonial Governors mansion now a heritage museum, with lots of artifacts and history.  Have lunch at Neri's or Annie's Lunchbox on the way back to the tender pier then visit the flea/craft market across the street from the pier before returning.  Only money you'll spend is items you buy, lunch and maybe nominal charges to enter any of the museums.

Thank you so much for your reply! 
Do you have any experience with cavetubing.bz? They have great prices (so much better that make us wonder if it is any good).

Wich excursion company do you recomend to visit Altun Ha?

cavetubing.bz has great rep.  several reviews on this board.

King David is another.  As is CaveTubingR Us.  

We used Cynthia and nacho for Altun Ha several years ago.  I don't think they operate any more.  Nacho had health issues.

Several companies offer cavetubing and altunha tours together, but more expensive that way.

I've used cavetubing.bz twice, and I was very happy with their service both times.
