    Great tour with Stacey and crew. Only reason why not 5 stars is company did not communicate that we needed to walk out to the pier which was just across the street from our hotel. They indicated we would be picked up. Only way we made tour is one of the taxi drivers in front of hotel told us. I sent company a couple of messages and no response. Horrible communication !!!

    We had an amazing family adventure and learned so much about Belize from our awesome guide, Norman! From meeting us at the boat dock and throughout the whole day, we felt very taken-care of. The cave tubing was truly a unique experience.

    A few days ago we were in Belize City, returning from an excursion at the Lamanai temple ruins. We had just missed a ferry to Caye Caulker, leaving us with approximately an hour and 30 minutes to spare. We received strong encouragement to embark on a city tour, which we successfully completed in approximately one hour and fifteen minutes. They assured us that a trained guide, well-versed in the history of both the city and the country, would accompany us on the tour. We were told that Richard Lord, our guide, was the best guide available. We agreed, and off we went.
    We began by gathering information about the murals located around the corner from the water taxi port. We stopped for pictures at the Belize sign. We received the history lesson on the lighthouse. We proceeded towards the hotel district and beyond. We learned about the school and church connections on the island. We learned about the five stop lights in town and were able to experience four of them. Our limited time prevented us from visiting the bar. We got out of the car and walked a couple of the sites because we had the time, particularly the oldest Anglican church in Central America. We learned quite a bit on our brief tour and saw examples of how people live at every social and economic station in life in the city. We were blessed to do our tour this past Sunday, November 3rd, 2024. Taking our tour on a Sunday allowed us to go along at a reasonable pace and not feel rushed. How do we do the tour during rush hour or another busy time for the city? This also meant that certain businesses and places were closed, but I don't know that that negatively impacted our tour. We highly recommend the tour for anyone that wants to see the multifaceted nature of Belize City.

    What a trip! Never done, or seen anything like it. Cameras aren't allowed, so no pics. Well organised, extremely informative, but physically quite demanding (OK for a couple of fit 60 somethings). Our guide Alex and driver Karim were so knowledgeable.

    Elvin was hands down the best tour guide I have ever had, and the tour was beyond memorable. Elvin shared incredible knowledge about Mayan culture, biology and ecology, botany, medicine, archaeology, local culture, and so much more! I was so impressed by his versatility. But this was not even the best part; Elvin was clearly so passionate about his work which made the rest of us even more excited for all of the cool stuff. He took an extra 2-3 hours out of his day to extend our tour (with everyone’s permission) so that we could see things that most tourists do not get a chance to experience. He was friendly, accommodating, and took great care of us, always asking if anyone needed anything. We got to see monkeys, fighting iguanas, and other crazy things. I cannot recommend this tour and Melvin enough!

    Jose was friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed seeing Altun Ha and the surrounding area. Our lunch at the Roadhouse Diner although simple, was delicious. In car beverages were a treat.

    This ended up being a private tour as my boyfriend and I were the only two who booked that day. Your guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. The temples are amazing and you can still climb the original stairs on two of them. The Caves were definitely the highlight. Such a cool experience. Be prepared with water shoes, although they rent crocs there if you forget. Lunch was provided at the end of the caves tour. The tapas are gluten free - a ground corn paste with boiled chicken inside. Wasn’t my favorite but I appreciate that it was gluten free!

    Splash wave tours Saved the day!

    We were 2 hrs late getting off the ship for a 5.5 hour shark and stingray tour. Thanks carnival!

    Basically the large tour boats for all the excursion had already left.
    For what my girlfriend and I went threw getting off the cruise ship splash wave tours ultimately saved the day for us.

    A local fish captain agreed to take us out to the island and reef to swim with stingrays and shark and bring us back.
    I was not made the boat that was available was older and smaller than the tour was set up for.

    Captain Leslie kept us close to the chain of islands to keep the ride as smooth as conditions would let him.
    Being born and raised there he was extremely knowledgeable of the island’s history and all the surrounding area of the country.
    It is over a hour boat ride with a smaller boat to the reef but with a quick stop at the island for a bathroom stop and pre order lunch. Another splash wave tour guide joined us to go with us out to the reef.

    YES! It is as amazing as you would think.
    Standing in waste deep water like a cat stingrays brush against your legs. The sharks did not even care if you were petting them and yes they have a ruff skin and the stingrays were smooth.
    The shark only cared about the dead minnows that were bing fed to them by the Captin.
    We also took a few min to snorkel the deeper area of the reef where I seen a green eel and lots of small fish. The guide dove down and got a Congo shell to pass around for us to look at.

    Back to the island to drop the guid off and have lunch. Shrimp and veggies were delicious and our rum punch was really good.

    On the way back we stopped at an underwater cave ten feet off the shore with hundreds of tarpon about 3ft long swimming all over.
    Leslie our captain showed us the best way to feed the fish by dangling minnows over the water from the boat.
    Yes the long big tarpon would come out of the water and take the minnows from your had.
    (What an explosive experience)

    good food great people!

    We were told to meet at 8am on Fort Street. We made sure we were the first ones off the boat on the first water shuttle. Unbeknownst to us, we'd be waiting another 2.5 hours for a lot more people who took their time getting to the location. By this time, we were very worried that we'd have time on the island & make it back to the ship by the last shuttle. This made us nervous for the entire day.
    Once we left the dock, the water was perfect, the ride there was smooth. Seeing the island come into view, I realized this is the same island that the ship passes when leaving Belize. I had always wondered what it was & how I could get to the island, so that was cool.
    Our snorkeling was a guided tour. We are experienced snorkelers. So, it was disappointing that we weren't allowed to experience the reef on our own. It felt like we were being babysat with the strict rules of not getting near the reef without a guide.
    The island was mostly nice & the surrounding waters were beautiful. But, behind the restrooms, the island had an odor & there was trash & broken items lying around.
    We did order a chicken dinner for $15 extra. The small amount of corn had just been dumped out of the can. When we were finishing eating at the picnic tables, we seen a young boy bringing a steaming pot from behind the restrooms. Since we were curious, we looked back there & seen that the rice had came from a shack/tent. For the rest of the day, I was leary of getting ill from the sanitation practices during that meal.
    My recommendations: Be honest with people in the first email about what time they need to arrive. Waiting for 2.5 hours was frustrating for us & unnecessary. Choose sanitary practices with the food.

    We have been here 3 previous and have had a great time, not crowded and peaceful. This time sand fleas were AWFUL and I got so many bites it’s miserable and my skin is so itchy and looks awful with all these bites.

    Cave Tubing with A plus and Albert. Absolutely perfect! We got off the water taxi and followed the directions on our reservation (make sure you have them printed). Everyone in the terminal was very helpful and we found our driver in no time. While everyone else was fighting with 100 other people to get on huge charter buses, we hopped in a very clean, air conditioned mini van. Just the 3 of us and our driver. It was a little over an hour drive to the rafting location and Albert used the time wisely informing us on everything Belize! It was a very enjoyable ride. Upon arrival at the rafting location, we changed into our water shoes and Albert introduced us to our guide-Artemis. Artemis got us all set up with tubes, helmets, and life jackets. We then walked about 30min to the start of the cave tubing. Definitely not recommended to anyone with trouble walking. Artemis showed us various plants, trees, and animals throughout our walk. Once again it was only the 3 of us! All the other groups had 10-15 people. We saw and heard groups of howler monkeys in the trees-very cool!
    The water was so refreshing! (To my husband that means COLD! Haha!) it felt SO good! It was 99 degrees out and we were definitely ready to jump in when we arrived! Artemis tied all our tubes together and off we went! It was so relaxing and we just love caves - this really was the perfect excursion for us. It is definitely worth the hour drive and the 30 min walk! Our excursion began at 9am (ship time) and we returned to the port about 1:30pm. Grabbed some lunch at the pier (fish tacos-very good!), some local beers, and then shopped for a bit before returning to the ship.
    No one else in our party did an excursion here, and they completely regretted it. The port area is pretty pathetic. So if you are headed here-book this excursion!

    Really enjoyed this trip out here. So cool to see the ruins and be able to walk on them and learn and experience. Maybe the only downside is the size of the ruins are pretty small compared to the bigger ones out West (although they are still 50 feet high at least). That said Altun Ha is a much shorter drive and can be connected with another activity (we did the baboon sanctuary, but you could zip lining or cave tubing..).
