Top sights & attractions for cruises to belize, belize barrier reef.
Spanning over 180 miles, the Belize Barrier Reef is a pristine reef system that includes over 300 islands and three atolls. There’s plenty to discover at this magnificent underwater paradise, which boasts over 100 species of coral and more than 500 species of fish. Once you dive into its crystal-clear waters and find yourself surrounded by endless hues of tropical colors, you’ll understand why this UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the top attractions to see on a Belize cruise.
Mayan Ruins
Discover the ruins of Xunatunich, a Mayan archeological site that dates back to 1000 B.C. Located on a hill overlooking the Mopan River, Xunatunich is made up of 25 Mayan temples and palaces. At the center, you’ll find the site’s largest structure, El Castillo, which stands 130 feet high and has carved stucco friezes on its exterior. Hike to the top for incredible 360-degree views of its verdant surroundings.
Hol Chan Marine Reserve
One of Belize’s most popular diving and snorkeling sites is the Hol Chan Marine Reserve, a three-square-mile marine haven found off the shore of Ambergris Caye. Hol Chan means “little channel” in Mayan, and it’s the perfect description of this coral-lined underwater alley home to hundreds of species of fish, including seahorses, parrotfish, and moray eels. One of the main attractions at Hol Chan Marine Reserve is Shark Ray Alley, a shallow area where large numbers of southern stingrays and nurse sharks frequently gather.

Top things to do in belize, dive into the blue hole.
Famous underwater explorer Jacques Cousteau once called Belize’s Blue Hole Natural Monument one of the world’s best diving sites.

Make your way down the azure waters and see hundreds of stalactites, stalagmites, and exotic fish in this one-of-a-kind natural wonder.
Go Birdwatching
From the mangrove forests by the shore to the crowded streets of Belize City, Belize’s rich avian life is found everywhere. Sign up for a birding tour and see how many of the 500 bird species that live in Belize you can spot along the way.
Venture into an Ancient Cave
Journey into an extensive network of limestone caves while lounging on an inner tube or paddling on a kayak through the Caves Branch River. Venture deep into one of these ancient Mayan ceremonial sites and discover historical artifacts, pottery, eyeless fish species, and a subterranean lagoon.
Top Food and Drink Spots Near the Belize City Cruise Port
Belize’s multi-ethnic culture is front and center in its diverse cuisine, which includes an array of Caribbean, Mexican, Spanish, African, and Mayan influences. Savor fresh seafood specialties, like conch fritters and grilled lobster, one of the country’s leading exports. You’ll also find almost every dish in Belize is served with their signature rice and red beans. Make sure to try other dishes including stewed chicken, wrapped tamales, and Chimole soup.
Culture & History of the Belize Cruise Port
For centuries, Belize was an important Mayan urban center and part of a crucial trading route between Mexico and Guatemala. After the Mayans were driven out of their land by the Spanish Conquest, the British usurped the country in the mid-17th century and named it British Honduras. The country’s name was officially changed to Belize in 1973, and it remained a British colony until 1981 when it finally achieved its independence.
Belize Port Facilities & Location
On cruises that go to Belize, you’ll dock in the Belize City port, which is a few miles away from the shore. A small boat will tender you to the city, dropping you off near Tourism Village, an area full of shops, restaurants, and bars.
Transportation in Belize
There are several national landmarks within walking distance of the Belize City cruise port. When you book a shore excursion, transportation to and from the port is included. If you want to explore the city on your own, hail a certified taxi, which can be identified by its green license plate.
Shopping Near the Belize Cruise Port
In Tourism Village, where your Belize cruise ship docks, you’ll find duty-free shops, along with chocolate and artisanal jewelry for sale. Pick up locally made souvenirs at the Belize Handicraft Market Place which is a short walk from Tourism Village.
Local Currency & Tipping Customs
The local currency is the Belize dollar, although the United States dollar is accepted in most major shops and restaurants. There’s usually a 10% service charge added to your dining bill. Tipping isn’t common in Belize, but if you experienced excellent service, feel free to leave a little something extra.
