skblack Posted February 25, 2009 #1 Share Posted February 25, 2009 This will be the first time that I will be going to Belize. When I go to Grand Cayman I just get off the boat with my gear walk down the beach and hit the reef. I was wondering if you can do the same in Belize or if I would have to get an excursion to get to a place to snorkel. If I need to go with a providor does anyone have any recommendations? Thank you, Steven Black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinkpink Posted February 25, 2009 #2 Share Posted February 25, 2009 it would probably be more beneficial to ask in the belize forum .. here is a short cut to there http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=109 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaParrotHead Posted February 25, 2009 #3 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Belize has some of the best snorkeling in the world...tons of reefs, but I'm fairly sure they're offshore. I've booked Coral Breeze tours...contact info over on the Belize board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy Posted February 25, 2009 #4 Share Posted February 25, 2009 The snorkeling near Belize is great, but it's all on tiny islands out in the reef system. It isn't like Grand Cayman where you can snorkel from the shore...you need to take a boat excursion of some kind. There isn't any place to snorkel from the port area in Belize City. I've had great experiences at Rendezvous Caye and Caye Caulker. I've also heard good things about Geoff's Caye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unicoidawg Posted February 25, 2009 #6 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Do yourself a favor and check out the Cave Tubing....... Try something different....... http://www.cave-tubing.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribbean dreams Posted February 25, 2009 #7 Share Posted February 25, 2009 There is no good snorkeling near the pier (like cayman) You will either have to book thru Carnival and the boat will pick you up right from the ship so you won't even have to go into Belize City or take the tendor to the pier and hire a company to take you to one of the Cayes. But i do agree with the above poster..the cave tubing is great and something you won't be able to do in any of the other ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
