Visiting Belize by cruise and your travel options

Website design By BotEap.comMany cruise ships now visit Belize as part of their cruise schedule and you will have the opportunity to visit Belize for just one day. Now Belize could entertain you with its attractions for weeks, so it’s hard to choose just one thing to do when visiting Belize for just one day.

Website design By BotEap.comThe only thing you DON’T want to do is walk around Belize City, Belize City isn’t really a nice city and while it does have some nice colonial buildings, no one would recommend that you walk around the city on your own, you’d better do a trip to the mainland or go diving or snorkeling. This will ensure you a great short visit to Belize.

Website design By BotEap.comWith a little research (as you are doing now), you can find trips of the same quality for much less money. Now, for 2 people, it could be a great savings if, as with most cruises, you are with the whole family and this is where you can make big savings.

Website design By BotEap.comIf you were to ask “what is the best trip to take when visiting Belize” it would be difficult to answer as there are so many great travel options.

Website design By BotEap.comThe most popular are Cave Tubing and Zip Lining and of course there will be hundreds of other cruises doing the exact same trip, so the best advice is to take a less popular trip to avoid the crowds and experience Belize without hundreds of cruises. A great alternative is Lamanai Mayan River Adventure or a visit to the Baboon Sanctuary. Both trips are excellent and will show you the beauty of Belize while avoiding the hundreds of cruise ships that float down the river on tubes.
