Belize
is an adventurer's paradise. There is literally an
exceptional activity for everyone. The most difficult
part of your stay will be deciding what to do. Tours to
the interior of the country include river adventures,
birding and exotic animal viewing, and a choice of
distintive Mayan ruins. Belize also offers exceptional
diving, snorkeling and fishing. We were charmed by our
tours to Caye Caulker and Ambergris Caye, both nearby
islands. Belize is a wonderful surprise and, if you plan
it right, you will enjoy every minute. We have installed
the best of guides to show you all of this country's
assets.
It is important to know that all our tour times operate
on LOCAL time. Belize is on Central Standard Time, one
hour behind the eastern ports of Florida. Belize does
not observe Daylight Savings Time, which means that
during the summer months, Belize is two hours earlier
than Florida. It is critical that you are aware of this.
We recommend that you check the times at
www.worldtimeserver.com or call us to verify the time
change.

The
contrast of these two highlights will make them shine even more.
Altun Ha, once a model Mayan city, was the link in the Caribbean
trade route that ran north through the Yucatán. Its ruins were
discovered by quarriers looking for stone to build the Old
Northern Highway. Their discovery of 2000-year-old specimens
were just the beginning of the uncovering of the remnants of 13
structures surrounding two plazas, including one 60-foot temple
now called the Temple of the Sun God.
This adventure is even more enticing once you realize that the
location is fairly close to Belize City and situated in the rain
forest for an added experience.
The ruins are breathtaking and easily walked. You will get
expert guidance as you move from one plaza to the other through
a forest path. Those who prefer to wait can find some benches
rather than hazard the uneven surface. As some of the areas are
easily accessible, they will be able to see a good share of the
ruins before making themselves comfortable.
Along with this experience, add a tour of Belize City, the life
pulse of Belize. Belize City is teeming with commerce and has
adapted its two sides of the river with a connection by the
Swing Bridge. You will see the bustle, along with historic Fort
George, a variety of embassies, consulate homes, and an area
called the Beverly Hills of Belize. Your visit to the Baron
Bliss Lighthouse will be accompanied by its story. This and
other landmarks from the colonial period will take you back
almost 200 years.
Belize City, the largest city in this small country, has much to
offer and will surprise you in many ways. |

See
'real' Belize with a visit to a natural zoo and a natural city.
For many, a must-see attraction is the Belize Zoo. The ride to
your destination will be as interesting as your visit to the
zoo. For about 45 minutes, your guide will fascinate you with
the stories and facts of this small nation. Once you arrive at
the zoo, you are in for a fun experience, whether young or old.
This may be the finest zoo in the Americas south of the US and
it has been long recognized as a phenomenal conservation
achievement. The zoo opened in 1983 after the filming of a movie
called Path of the Raingods. The film's production assistant was
left with a collection of semi-tame animals no longer able to
fend for themselves in the wild. The opportunity to present
native animals for both locals and visitors alike developed into
a reality. Now these native animals live in their natural
habitat but are monitored and kept healthy.
The theme of "a walk through Belize" takes you on a
trail through the pine ridge, the rainforest, lagoons and the
river forest. Throughout, you will safely view tapirs, all
species of cats, including the jaguars, birds, monkeys,
crocodiles and many other animals.

 Snorkeling
the best spots, shelling the best beach, dining at the best on
Caye Caulker. For those who enjoy the water and the wind
blowing through your hair, this day is for you.
This slick, sleek boat will take you spinning out into the ocean
for a beautiful ride. While traveling past several other
islands, called cayes in Belize, you will get fitted with
snorkel gear.
Your ride along the 'Great Barrier Reef' of Belize will allow
you an introduction to the vast amount of marine life here. This
reef, which is the longest in the Western hemisphere, is often
cited as second only to Australia's Great Barrier Reef.
The areas you will visit for snorkeling are famous for different
reasons, all unique. Your day includes a stop at the famous
Shark Ray Alley, where the friendly nurse sharks and Southern
Stingrays will swim alongside you. Coral Gardens, the second
stop, will fascinate, especially the many examples of brain
coral here.
After snorkeling, you will head to the charming beach of Caye
Caulker, a beautiful little island with a sandy white beach.
Lunch is there too, at a restaurant well-known for it's great
food. Time is allotted for you to enjoy Caye Caulker's shopping
and sightseeing as well.
Your tour includes lunch, all snorkel gear including a vest and
cold, refreshing non-alcoholic beverages.
After this wonderful day, you will be returned to the tender
pier |

This
is truly a Belizean experience. Water taxi to a beautiful island
and snorkel at the best. This trip departs from Caye
Caulker, a charming island 25 minutes from Belize City via high
speed ferry. (Detailed transfer instructions will be provided on
your voucher.) We love this opportunity to travel a little
outside the box. Instead of hopping from your cruise ship to a
powerboat to a reef and back, we sought out an experience that
is failproof but so much fun.
Imagine arriving by water taxi to a long pier (which islanders
refer to as a bridge) and, in the distance, a sign welcoming you
to the island of Caye Caulker. As you get closer to the white
sand beach, you see a golf cart and driver waiting with your
name on a card. You hop on board, and the five minute ride along
the beach is full of colorful people and properties.
Upon your arrival at this wonderful shop, you are greeted by a
friendly smile and a well-organized business. You will be fitted
with snorkel gear and readied for a 3-hour tour in waters second
only to the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. Your itinerary will
be comprised of three different and famous stops. The first,
Shark and Ray Alley, is a narrow passage where sharks and rays
and snorkelers swim together, each looking at the other.
Next you will travel to Caye Caulker Channel, part of the Caye
Caulker Marine Reserve. This is a interesting and fairly
uncrowded place to snorkel and along with some of your regular
friends, you will often find some strange worms, including the
feather duster worm.
On to the Coral Gardens where you will be dodging around large
brain and elkhorn coral. It is amazing that these locations are
only 5 minutes apart and 10 minutes from the shore by boat.
Your three-hour snorkel trip will return you to Caye Caulker,
where you can roam a bit and choose a lovely beachside
restaurant for lunch before taking the water taxi back to Belize
City. The total trip time of 7 hours includes the time spent on
the ferry |

 This
not-so sentimental journey through a unique cave system is
enhanced with the best guide around. Tubing has long been
popular at artificial water parks but this is a chance to try
the real thing. This series of caves is part of a National Park
located an hour outside of Belize City. Your ride through the
city and then into the countryside should be considered as
entertaining as the tubing itself as your guides open your eyes
to Belize.
Once you arrive, you will spend 30 minutes walking the trail to
the first of 2 cave systems, tube in hand and flashlight on your
head. Now for the easy part. Relax and just float through the
cave systems, one leading into the other, viewing the sights as
you pass in and out of areas from pitch black to filtered
sunlight.
Pools of sapphire blue water carry you on this unbelievable
journey downstream. After an hour and a half of tubing, you will
have worked up an appetite and you won't be disappointed. A
delicious lunch of barbequed chicken (with a special sauce)
spanish rice, macaroni salad with garlic bread or homemade flour
tortilla, fruit and a muffin with a glass of kiwi lime juice is
waiting for you at a great local restaurant. Here you can share
your stories before reboarding your ride back to Belize City. |

Not
just your average western style ranch in the Caribbean. This is
the finest. The interior of Belize is very diverse and the
unique combination of jungle, horses and local hospitality makes
this tour a truly exceptional way to spend a day in Belize. This
destination is 50 minutes away. Your ride is part of the tour,
as you travel through Belize City and into the interior. You
will see the authentic Belizean culture and be drawn to compare
how similar their life style is to your own in some ways, but
also how very different. It is an interesting and informative
journey. The ride throught the Belizean countryside is a treat
in itself.
You will arrive at the Belize River and be carried across to the
other side via hand-pulled boat. The uniqueness of your entry to
this marvelous ranch across the river sets the stage for your
day. This is a gorgeous property. The warmth and friendliness of
the owners and ranch hands fit the scenery and you will feel
right at home. You will be given a demonstration on riding
skills and as you give accurate information to an employee
regarding your riding experience, the wranglers will select a
horse that is right for you. Each group of 10 or less has 3
wranglers to assist you along the trail if ncecessary.
For about 90 minutes you'll ride through creeks and under palm
canopies. You'll ride uphill and down through jungle, pastures,
teak plantations and farm land. Everyone will walk and trot with
their horse, and if you are experienced, you'll have the
opportunity to canter as well.
In addition to the horseback ride, you will enjoy a motor boat
ride on the Belize river for about 30 minutes. The ranch
maintains a beautiful collection of exotic birds. There are
monkeys, parrots and a jaguar. You will be served a delicious
lunch with local food on the menu. Feel free to roam about. You
might run into John's wife, a very well-known artist who has her
studio at the ranch and you will pay a visit to her gallery. |

Come
see why they all say that Belize has some of the world's best
dive sites. The dive sites 30 minutes from the Belize harbor are
breath-taking...truly some of the best in the world, with
abundant life in crystal clear, warm waters. There are hundreds
of great dive sites along the reef between Gallow's Point and
Sergeant's Caye. Some of the more popular sites are Mermaid’s
Castle, Chub Change and Lost Anchor. These are wall dives with
magnificent spur and groove formations. In addition to seeing
lots of colorful tropical fish and hard and soft corals, you may
also see turtles, rays, morays and sharks!
A PADI Divemaster will guide you on two spectacular multilevel
dives. We anchor in about 35 feet, descend, and head east to the
drop off. Once we reach the drop-off we descend to 60 feet for
20 minutes, then ascend to 40 feet for 20 minutes. Sometimes the
dives are a bit longer, sometimes a bit shorter. It depends on
how quickly divers consume their air, and how much time we have
before we need to get you back to the ship. At the end of each
dive we do a safety stop at 15 feet for 3 minutes and have a
surface interval of at least one hour during which time we have
lunch. We need a minimum of four hours to do two dives, but more
time is better since we can have longer dives and a longer
surface interval.
Includes guided dive, tanks, weights, all equipment, lunch,
soda/water and fruit. You meet us at our shop and we drop you
off at the ship.

This
tiny, sandy caye is filled with Belizeans on weekends who are
picnicing and snorkeling. You will be on your way in no
time, as you are picked up by boat right at the cruise pier. The
ride through the cayes (pronounced like keys) is an easy one
with water that looked like glass. The hardest part is resisting
the urge to just jump in, as the Caribbean blue water surrounds
you.
This area, called Goff's Caye, is about 45 minutes away by boat.
The trained crew can answer your questions but will not be
supplying a formal narration as voices tend to get lost in the
winds as you travel by power boat. You won't need much
explanation, though, if you are lucky enough to see dolphins and
manatees. You will definitely see numerous cayes and lots of
seabirds as you travel.
This lovely coral island sits on top of Belize's Great Barrier
Reef, one of the seven underwater wonders of the world and
second in length only to Australia's Great Barrier Reef.
It is surrounded by pristine, crystal clear water which changes
in color from light green to darker shades of green, aquamarine,
and turquoise. The waters are teeming with a myriad of colorful,
tropical fish and the reef is loaded with a variety of live
colorful corals.
The guides will offer any guidance and assistance throughout the
tour. Snorkel gear will be provided as well. Ladders facilitate
your entry and exit from the water.
You are going to be able to experience 30 minutes of snorkeling
on the northern part of the island and then you will be
transferred to the island itself for a little beachcombing and
relaxation. The shelling on these islands is unbelievable and
you will have plenty of time to search for your souvenir before
moving by boat to the southern side of the island for an
additional snorkel.

Superb
snorkeling and an underwater petting zoo sets this site apart
from any other. About forty miles from Belize City, the Hol Chan
Marine Reserve is a highlight for any snorkeler. It is an
underwater park accessible only by boat and, in Mayan, means
"little channel". This narrow channel holds a mulitude
of sea life within this passage now, after almost total
destruction in the 80s due to overfishing. The Belizean
government created a reserve shortly afterward and today it is
thriving with life. Vibrant corals and colorful fish are
everywhere.
En route to the Hol Chan Marine Reserve is an underwater alley
where local fishermen used to feed the sharks and rays that
lived there. Soon this became a gathering point for these and
other marine creatures and it has now earned the name of Shark
Ray Alley. Although the word has spread about this phenomenon
and it can be busy, it provides great fun as sharks, rays, and
snorkelers jostle each other for food and photos. This has been
named by Skin Diver Magazine among the 'seven best animal dives
in the Caribbean' and, as a snorkeler, you will be able to rub
elbows and fins with the sharks and rays.
A comfortable and safe boat will bring you to this destination.
The ride out is only about 10 minutes and you will have
approximately 40 minutes at each location to snorkel.
Afterwards, your boat will bring you to a lovely destination
that we promise you will not want to leave - Ambergris Caye. You
will have an hour and a half to have lunch at one of the many
restaurants right on the beach, do some shopping at a variety of
shops, and relax. |

Enjoy
the ease of the Caribbean with people who will show you the best
of their island. It can be a great advantage when you are
traveling with a group. Whether friends or family, the fact that
you have a small or large party of travelers allows you to start
this trip right from the cruise pier by boat.
This company will operate as your water taxi and take you
directly to their location on Caye Caulker. Along the way,
you'll pass many mangroves where, although we can't guarantee
it, you're likely to see some gentle manatees or playful
dolphins. Once you arrive at Caye Caulker, this company's office
is at a lovely little setting with a white sand beach across the
'street'. There you will be fitted for snorkel gear and then
re-board the boat for a short ride to your first snorkel stop at
Shark and Ray Alley in the Caye Caulker Marine Reserve. Although
busy, this very famous spot provides great fun as sharks, rays,
and snorkelers jostle each other for food and photos.
After Shark and Ray Alley, you'll make your way to Caye Chapel
and the Caye Caulker Channel, a nutrient rich area teeming with
plentiful coral and tropical fish. Your guide will tell you what
you're seeing and will show you the hidden creatures of the
reef.
After snorkeling, you will have worked up an appetite and will
be anxious to head back to Caye Caulker, for a delicious
Belizean BBQ of chicken or fresh fish, fresh tropical fruit and
additional accompaniments. Purified water and sodas are included
(sorry no diet soda).
After lunch you will have some time to explore Caye Caulker
before heading back to Belize City. You will be returned back to
your cruise ship pier with lots of memories and perhaps a couple
of seashells. |
