Bannister Isl with Cruiseline or Eco-tours

[glrydays]

So, going to Banister with eco tours is about $65 cheaper than with RCCL? Is the convenience of tendering directly to the island, not dealing with the pier transfer and being on the first tender worth booking with the ship for $65 more?

per person or group?

[glrydays]

$65 cheaper for the group of 4 - (my family). I am thinking it is worth paying the extra and going with RCCL since I am with two kids ( age 9 and 7)

Do you have to pay for a taxi ride with Eco tours?

[glrydays]

NO - they are right at the pier, so you step off the tender, pay and board their boat.

We were in belize last week and used eco tours, booked right at the dock. David was our tour guide and was AWESOM!!! Would highly recommend them. We snorkled and then went to bannister island. We paid $45 per person. Worth every penny.:)

We were there last week (Wednesday) as well. We used David at Eco and paid only $30 each. Ours was cheaper since we were not going to snorkel. We just went out and enjoyed the beach, sun and local beers. Played some volleyball with David and Nicoli.

how long did you have at Bannister with ECO tours? and for anyone that booked with RCCL, how long did you have at the beach?

 

Thanks

After some amazing snorkling, we were dropped off at Bannister for aprox 1 and a half hours with Eco tours. Great day

I was also thinking of paying at the pier when I get there. How long did you stay at the beach?
