jostvandyke Posted October 22, 2008 #1 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Does anyone have advice on what would be the best snorkel trip in Belize with children (ages 8 and 5 1/2)? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevesan Posted October 23, 2008 #2 Share Posted October 23, 2008 The ship's snorkel trip to Rendezvous Cay is a good choice. Took our grandson, Philip, who is skittish over deep water. The snorkeling around the island was excellent. A reef literallly surrounds the island. Since it's relatively shallow, Philip wasn't spooked and thorughly enjoyed himself. The boat anchors near enough to the island to wade to the beach. The snorkel boat picks up at the ship's tender door. The only negative is that the snorkel boat is crowded, but once at the island that becomes a samll complaint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jostvandyke Posted October 23, 2008 Author #3 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Thanks for the reply! My kids would probably be a little nervous over deep water, too so that sounds like a good idea. I'm definately going to look into it. Do you know if there was an age limit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jostvandyke Posted October 23, 2008 Author #4 Share Posted October 23, 2008 OK, so another question...what is the Rendezvous Cay trip listed as on Carnival? I looked at the excursions but I didn't see it. I did see Sergeant's Cay. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharks48 Posted October 23, 2008 #5 Share Posted October 23, 2008 You could also do a ship's tour to Goff's Caye. The boat picks you up right at the ship and takes you to a tiny island [minimal facilities]. You can go out and snorkel from the boat or stay at the island and snorkel in the shallow waters around it. I'd think it would be good for kids.

Stevesan Posted October 24, 2008 #6 Share Posted October 24, 2008 There are a number of small barrier reef islands near Belize. Judging from photos, they are very similar. \ I suspect the snorkel trips would be alike. There was no mention of a minimum (or maximum :p ) age limit.

jostvandyke Posted October 28, 2008 Author #7 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Thanks for everyone's input. I booked the Goff's Caye excursion through Carnival. It seemed the best for us and the kids and everyone seemed to have good experiences. I'll let you know how we liked it!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
