L.D.S. Shore Excursions

What is the best shore excursion in Belize For beaches?

Answer: Is your cruise ship porting at the Belize City Cruise Port? Well, this is to inform you that the Belize City area has no beaches. In order to have a great time on a beach you will need to visit one of the nearby Islands for a fun time on a beach. Recommended Islands are: Caye Caulker, Ambergris Caye, and San Pedro. Caye Caulker is a 40 minutes boat ride from Belize City, whilst Ambergris Caye and San Pedro are both an hour boat ride from Belize City. You can board a passenger boat to the Islands. The boat terminal is located not far from the Belize City Cruise Port. It’s a 3 minute walk from the Cruise Port.

If your cruise ship is porting in Placencia, there is no need to worry about beaches. The entire Placencia area is dominated by beautiful white sandy beaches.

Should I pre book shore excursions?

Answer: Yes. You should pre book your shore excursions. If you are booking with a local company, you may want to pre boo. This is because most of the small tour companies in Belize offer strictly private tours. This means that you will not be joined by any other groups. You will have a private van and a private tour guide assigned to you. I recommend that you pre book your shore excursions.

Is there a beach near Belize cruise port?

Answer: You may find some shore excursions cheaper on the ship whilst you will find some cheaper with local small tour companies. Booking shore excursions with a local tour company gives you a better experience because you will be with someone native that knows the surrounding. For a better experience, book with the locals, instead of being herded on those large buses. For the locals offer private tours and it gives you a better taste of the port.

Should you take your passport with you on shore excursions?

Most of the time you will not need to show your passport when going ashore, however, it is still sensible to take some form of identification with you and I suggest bringing a photocopy of your original passport. You may be stopped by a police officer or need to show proof of I.D.

Cahal Pech, meaning “Place of Ticks,” is a Maya site located in the Cayo district of Belize, just outside the town of San Ignacio. The site is within the upper region of the Belize Valley, close to both the Macal and Mopan rivers and about 10 kilometers (approx. 6.2 miles) from the neighboring Maya site of Xunantunich and 6 kilometers (approx. 3.7 miles) from Bueno Vista. These sites generally are made up of several plaza groups surrounded by large non-domestic structures, at least one ball court, and multiple monuments.

Cahal Pech covers approximately 10 square miles and includes 34 large buildings, the largest of which is around 24 meters tall, and a possible sweathouse. The site was founded in the Early Middle Preclassic period and continued to thrive as a Maya city until at least the end of the Classic period, though there is ceramic evidence of a longer occupation. Recent excavations have suggested that Cahal Pech, which was most likely settled by Maya from Guatemala, is one of the earliest Maya settlements in Belize.

Excavations go as far back as the 1950s, though the actual date of Cahal Pech’s discovery is unknown. The earliest published record of it is in Thompsons “Index of Maya sites in British Honduras”. Actual excavations, however, were not conducted until the middle of the twentieth century, when Linton Satterthwaite of the University Museum of the University of Pennsylvania discovered multiple stelae and monuments and excavated the ball court in the 1950s. Small-scale excavations continued at the site for several decades. In the 1980s, Dr. Jaime Awe, director of the Belize Institute of Archaeology, took over the excavations. In 2001 the Belize Valley Archeological Reconnaissance Project (BVAR) became involved in the work at Cahal Pech and in 2006 the American Foreign Academic Research (AFAR) began the first high school level field school in the United States at the site.
