eggybear54 Posted July 24, 2010 #1 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Hi Folks, We just learned that NCL won't be doing a Bannister Island beach break on our cruise. We are really disappointed because it was so fun and easy. Knowing that we have to tender to Belize City, does anyone have a suggestion on a beach that is nice and easy to get to? The idea of taking a tender to the shore and then another tender to a beach is a bit scary given the short time we have in Belize and the early departure time of the ship (5:00). I appreciate your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynneL Posted August 2, 2010 #2 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Any suggestions out there? I am also looking for something inexpensive to do at this port. I'm traveling with my kids & their friends (8 people in their early 20s). Already did the cave-tubing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SANJOSEGAL Posted August 2, 2010 #3 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I know you don't want to have to tender and then be transferred around but you might look into Coral Breezes I believe they go to Bannister Island. http://www.coralbreezetours.com/Belize/manatees/cruise/tour/current_category.15/Product.150/tours_add.html?t_product=150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmom Posted August 3, 2010 #4 Share Posted August 3, 2010 All of the beach areas that are the least bit worth going to will be on one of the cayes and will have to be reached by boat. There used to be a man made beach area called Cucumber beach which is part of the OLD Belize tourist area on the mainland. I've never been there but when I was looking into it awhile back, I read mixed reviews. You may want to do a search to see if anyone has been there recently. It may have some of the kinks worked out of by now. The only other option would be to tender to the port and meet up with a private excursion company.

They went to Bannister at that time. I heard that they have their own islsnd now. Coral Breeze has a big following also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
