frutoso Posted May 30, 2007 #1 Share Posted May 30, 2007 We are cruising to Belize in August. We want to snorkel and relax on the beach, but cant pick which one to choose. Please help!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted May 30, 2007 #2 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I doubt you will need to book an excursion to do that. Get a guide book(Libraries are free!!!) and read up on Belize. It will tell you which spots are best for snorkling, and which beaches have "facilities"! When you book an excursion, you have limited time to "relax", so going on your own may be a better (and certainly cheaper) way to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PH8 Posted May 30, 2007 #3 Share Posted May 30, 2007 A book??(whats a library??I sorta remember going to one of those;) ).. The internet is more up to date and the OP can email if they have any questions............... OP----------I would suggest going to the ports of call board for Belize.......I bet someone has done one or the other can can give you first hand advice........... http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=109 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sea-cruise Posted May 30, 2007 #4 Share Posted May 30, 2007 We've been to Bannister Island, Belize. I don't recall any snorkeling right there, but a few miles (short distance by boat) away is Gallo Reef. It's a huge reef and very good for snorkeling. Bannister Island is really nice, but I didn't see any snorkelers there. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frutoso Posted May 31, 2007 Author #5 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Thanks, but from what I have read this is best done as an excursion... the excursion leaves straight from port and you get there quick... otherwise you are taken to Belize city which is the opposite way, and have to double back.

Rare VernRDH Posted May 31, 2007 #9 Share Posted May 31, 2007 We went to Belize in March. DH did a snorkeling excursion and DD and I stayed on Bannister Island. Then we did a manatee watch. We used HammerHead Sports/Coral Breezes Tours. Nice people, excursion worth the money. You can opt for 1 to 3 of the options (snorkel, beach, manatee watch) The only bad thing is that you have to tender into Belize and then take a speedboat out to Bannister. You can click on the link in my sig to go to my review about the cruise and Belize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
