What are the best shore excursions in Belize? — featuring A Cruising Good Time

0:00 bise offers Many Adventures it is most known for diving snorkeling Mayan ruins cave tubing and ziplining in this video we're going to provide an overview of the major excursions at the end of this video we will include the two shore excursions our family selected which picked us up by boat at the cruise ship

0:21 and sold us directly to site avoiding Biz City [Music] hi y'all I'm Jeff and I'm Becky and together we're cruising good time so the first of the major sites to see and believe is Mayan ruins so shenan please forgive me if I mispronounce this is a major Mayan archaeological site it's the

0:47 tallest of the sites and B and is believed to have held as many as 20,000 people during the day its major part of this is El Castillo which of course stands for the castle and and this is the second largest building in all of bise and it was used as a shrine dwelling meeting place for the elite

1:09 rulers uh it allowed for stargazing speaking and sacrificial ceremonies it has magnificent Acoustics it was built so that the leader could talk and the multitudes could hear down below it has four sets of stairs go to the top which you can still use and be able to test the Acoustics for yourself it is located

1:33 on a river which allows the trading of goods and movement of people which may have been one of the reasons why it survived over 100 years more than the other Mayan civilizations in the area it's located about 70 Mi west of bise City we do recommend that you take a short Excursion through the cruise line

1:52 just in case there's traffic problems getting there getting back whatever the cruise line will hold the ship for their own shore excursions if you're on dependent one you may not make it back in time just for traffic or weather or whatnot so do take the your own Shore Excursion trip with that I love caves

2:08 and I love spelunking in bise there are many different tours which will allow for cave tubing which we have not done but I have heard very good things about I've also heard that you are going to walk a considerable distance to the river and depending on the Excursion you may or may not be carrying your own tube

2:28 during the walk and um if you've been watching you know I absolutely love ziplining and there are many shore excursions that combine cave tubing with ziplining I want to take just a quick second to thank our subscribers for watching the video if you just found us with this video please give us a like

2:45 And subscribe and consider and join our community we'd love to have you and uh show you all our travel Adventures before traveling to bise be sure to check the website travel.state.gov for travel advisories there is a travel advisory out for it right now while we're filming us there's a level two for

3:02 the country and a level three for B City itself which can be pretty rough Jeff and I have traveled to over 45 countries and one of the most um concerning experience we have is that we were on a cruise ship we went to bise it was a number of years ago we got off the ship we booked an independent Shore Excursion

3:23 nobody showed up we were dealing with the locals to try to book another Excursion and everything was just very uncomfortable there at that City therefore we highly recommend just book something from your cruise ship a lot of times we have no problem at all using independent uh shore excursions this B

3:44 definitely use the ship shore excursions I think you'll be safer there as a rule of thumb and you'll definitely the ship is not going to leave without you now we do short excursions either straight from the ship whether they're uh on a boat that goes out to a reef to go snorkel or

3:58 uh you stay with the bus going Inland like that B has great snorkeling and if you go straight off the boat to one of the keys out there I think you'll be safe on the last cruise that we're on that stopped at bise you know to Tinder in we were with a very large family group so we did Splinter into separate

4:17 groups so Jeff and I went to an amazing Shore Excursion yeah we went to Rond Vu K the boat picked us up right at the ship just went straight South I don't know how many miles but boat ride down there went to a little K great snorkeling we we had to guide there they gave us the snorkel

4:36 equipment the guide was very good took us around a little loop around the island right there lot of fish lot of coral to see and then just kind of hung out on the beach right there it really a lot of fun we had some rays that would swim right up into the uh the sandb bar right there and you could see the Rays

4:53 up really closely and get in the water with them and it's also just a good place to sit underneath the palm tree and have a nice cold beer and just enjoy life at that moment so we I do recommend rondu K we had a wonderful time on the Rondevu K tour we met in the ship in the dining room so the group of us gathered

5:13 and then we went on the shore Excursion the one downside was the tour started I don't know about 45 minutes late yeah and when we got on the shore Excursion boat we asked the captain and what went down and it turns out that they had a maintenance problem on one of the boats that does sh Excursion so they're

5:31 running extra Duty and just everything was running late the journey to rendevu K you know it's that beautiful Caribbean Ocean I enjoyed the boat ride going over there and just looking out at it that gorgeous blue water they had bars that offered moderately priced drinks yeah you know for being a captive audience on

5:52 a sandbar it wasn't as bad as after airport security by stretch of the imagination it was actually pretty reasonably priced it was a beautiful day and just gorgeous Caribbean Waters it was a very nice Shore Excursion and getaway so the other part of our group went to sharks rays and beerer reef where you could do

6:13 snorkeling and interact with some sharks and Rays yeah they have a lot of nurse sharks and and Caribbean type string rays there and my sister and her husband and her family had a great time there they had spoke very highly about it at dinner that night so it sounded like a lot of fun

6:30 again they picked them up right at our cruise ship and then they went North where was we went South R UK they went North up there to the the shark alley area did their snorkeling went into a little Sandbar right there had some lunch and couple beers and then came on back into the ship that afternoon so

6:49 very similar uh to what we did in terms of just getting off the ship onto another boat going straight to the uh Island and then coming back in we avoided B City all together that way so when reviewing the shore excursions between several Cruise Lines we see that most of the cruises will offer some

7:08 variation of one of the two activities that our family did some will actually offer some two- tank Dives bise has some great diving out there it's kind of North Area up there by the shark alley in fact I think you can dive in shark alley as well uh some Cruise Lines will offer a two-tank dive out there again

7:26 they just pick you up the ship take you right up there to the the reef and then and go do some diving bise has wonderful diving our daughter has gone on diving trip where they flew into bise City took another plane to a Barrier Island and just had fabulous experience we hope you've enjoyed this video if you like
