Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This was not as advertised. Do not book this tour. The guide went so fast through the archeological site that very fit teens could not keep up--not to mention the less agile adults! The guide offered very little value added. He did not provide historical information on the site or on any of the buildings. He just wanted to rush and stay ahead of the big tour groups. We learned nothing about the buildings we saw, except to note on one where excavation occurred. The river trip was a high speed boat ride. We paused once to see a small crocodile, but did not even pause for a large one. Wildlife? What wildlife? We were traveling so fast we could not see anything. When I asked to slow down so we could see things, the guide ignored me--and it was just our family of five. This is not a good tour. /if you want to learn about the Mayan ruins or see wildlife, choose another tour.

We were excited for "Belize City By Horse and Carriage" through the town. The carriage was a metal cart that we had to stop and pump up the tires on as we went along with a hand pump. That would have been ok. But the poor horse!! It was very hot and humid. The horse was thin and was panting terribly. He also did not appear to have been groomed. After a while, I finally asked the driver if he didn't think the horse could use a drink of water. His reply was "He works today and can rest tomorrow." This really ruined the tour for me as I have horses myself.
I would recommend taking a van or a bus or some other mode of transportation. The driver know a lot of facts.

Great tour of Altun Ha by Paul of Belize Cruise Trips. We felt this site was even more beautiful than Machu Picchu. Wonderful tour. Paul speaks very clear English and has deep knowledge of Mayan culture.

If you haven't been there before, I would recommend hiring a personal guide to take you around the country. The driving is a little scary but the views and amazing people are priceless!

Michael Elliott was our tour guide. He gave us a wonderful tour of the city, & was very informative. We saw a mahogany tree & leaf. He went out of his way, to help us mail a parcel. Great tour!

We took the snorkeling / all inclusive beach day at Belize City with Rhapsody of the Seas. When we boarded the tender I was a bit worried. Didn't see the usual coast guard required notices. Like where the life vests were located. The tender itself was a 2 story catamaran vessel. It looked very dilapidated. We got underway and shortly after passengers reported there was no toilet paper in the head. About 10 minutes into the trip one of the engines failed. For the remainder of the trip the vessel limped into our destination. When we arrived they told us they would send a different tender for our return. We were then rushed to grab equipment that clearly had not been sanitized ( Corona virus is a concern). We brought sanitizer so we we proceeded to clean the equipment we were using. We barely had time to remove our outer clothes and rinse the equipment before we figured out the snorkeling tour was getting underway. The your itself was nice as was the staff. The lunch served was meh. We were surprised that the decided they had repaired our tender and we could take it back to the ship. Well it ran for about 5 minutes and the engine failed again. 90 minutes later we limped to the ship. We missed the last chance to take a tender to Belize City for a quick shopping trip. We sign up for cruise sponsored excursions primarily for convenience and safety. RC's cavalier attitude towards safety of their passengers is shocking.

this was part 2 of an excursion we took from MSC Meraviglia. It was the second half of a very long excursion. They advertised once at the zoo, you would see all these different types of animals & could hold & interact with some monkeys and birds. We were also suppose to see toucans, which we never did. Never got to interact with any monkeys or birds either, that was not even mentioned by tour guide. Would not recommend the Howler Monkey Sanctuary & Belize Zoo Tour. Over priced and too long.

My wife and I went last Tuesday, 2/18/2020 with my elderly father. We found the description to be pretty accurate we just don't think it was worth the money.
Belize is a tender port so they will pick you up directly at the ship. Think small ferry. It's about an hour boat ride to the island. There's no entertainment on the boat, not even music though once you get close they will talk about Belize for 15 minutes. They tell you to sit down. There are no drinks, etc. This is true coming back and that's half the excursion.
Once on the island they break you down into groups based on experience and # of people. That was all fine and pretty typical. Then you walk into the water and snorkel around. Once done you get food, which honestly was more than we thought from reading earlier reviews though would never be confused with abundant. Then you have maybe 30 minutes before it's time to line up and leave. You see, after dropping you off the ferry does a round-trip to pick up the next set of guests. When they arrive you leave ;)
The snorkeling wasn't great the day we went but there was enough reef for it to have potential. Still, you're probably better off booking an excursion that takes you to a reef to snorkel and then takes you on a beach drop.

Could you tell me the name of the excursion that included snorkeling, sting rays and nurse sharks? Was it offered through your cruse? Thanks Nicole

Hi, We are taking the Carnival Magic this December. I am looking at the list of excursions offered by the cruise line and I didn't find Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM) on the list. Does anyone know if it is possible to do ATM during the time we are docked at the port? Also, does anyone recommend a reliable company to who can arrange this excursion?

Sorry but I didn't take this tour. You should be able to get this information on the ship. If they don't offer this excursion there are tour operators on shore. Beware make sure they will get you back to the port in time!Double check the time your ship is scheduled to depart and what time you MUST be back on board.

Hola, gracias por el aporte, creo que la pequeña isla que se encuntra como a 20 minutos se llama starfish, me gustaría ir a esa ya que en junio viajo con msc, recuerdas algo como referencia, es decir, nombre de restaurante, parque, comercio o algo para ubicar el muelle en el que salen esas excursiones con las que contratas directamente? o bien en el sentido en que llegas al muelle y comentas que son como 100m, son a la derecha o a la izquierda, gracias.

We came off the boat and went to the left. There is a stand inside the building that says Belize Carriage Tours. There is also a little house outside the gates. I asked the tour guide to take me where he likes to each lunch. It was awesome food.

This is one of the few excursions I did thru Carnival. The reason was this is a tender port and I didn't want to tender to shore then to the reef. Instead they picked us up and dropped us off right at the ship. We went to a private island to snorkel.

I went through cavetubing.bz
It was a FANTASTIC time. One thing I really liked was that you didn’t have to carry your tubes down to the water, which was a long walk. Also, the zip lining was fun and the lunch was so delicious! You can’t go wrong with this company.
The owner himself will reply to your emails, his name is Vitalino Reyes. He is a great guy, so much so that when we went to last time I took him a shirt from our home state. LOL.
This still is the best excursion we’ve ever done and we been on five cruises now with at least four ports of call on each cruise that we still talk about this one as our best.
Me gustaría saber si las excursiones salen desde el muelle , o tienes que salir por tu cuenta en las lanchas. Me refiero a
Las que compras en el muelle

En el muelle que te deja la lancha del crucero te ofrecen excursiones tercerizadas que son mas caras pero también podés ir al muelle de al lado y pautás directo con la empresa que te lleva, en algo como si fuera una lancha colectiva, muchísimo más barato.
