Belize Excursion Recommendation Please

[katboferguson]

There will be 4 ships in the port the day we arrive in Belize. We will have a 20 minute tender ride and knowing most all excursions take you on a 30-45 min drive before you get there, I have visions of delayed tender boats, chaos in the port, and crowded boats and buses.

 

If it were just me I would be fine, but it is my husband I am concerned about. Crowds are not his "cup of tea" and will just be tolerating it for me. He is also a smoker and will not enjoy a lengthy ride.

 

Does anyone have any recommendations for something we can do that will be less stressful or maybe closer to the port?

 

From what I have read so far, renting a taxi and driving around on our own is not recommended.

We booked a tour with VIV. Great company to deal with, awesome guides and they offer several tours for Belize. I our tour there was 8 people so not crowded at all.

What date are you in that port? We are on NCL Jewel leaving New Orleans 1/26/14

Perhaps you could just walk around in the gated port area.

 

The Wet Lizard is a good place to get drinks & food with a nice view of the waterfront. The last time we were there smoking was allowed. :)
