CeleBrat Posted March 2, 2012 #1 Share Posted March 2, 2012 OK--who has "winged it" here in Belize and gone with one of the independent tour operators at the port. Where did you go, and what did you pay? Thanks!--CeleBrat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted March 2, 2012 #2 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Whe you depart the tender boat, you will see people with signs that point to where they are meeting and also they can tell where you can sign up for a particular tour that vendor is seeking to fill up. Not all excursions offered on the vendors websites are open. But you can ask the people with the meet up signs if there is space available and how much, then decide. You can also head outside the Tourist Village and be inundated with various tours and excursion vendors. You'll need to exercise caution here though as the reps of any tours outsid eof city tours via horse carriage may or may not be reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeleBrat Posted March 15, 2012 Author #3 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Got it! Thanks for the advice about only sticking with the tour operators that are inside the gates. CeleBrat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMM Posted March 16, 2012 #4 Share Posted March 16, 2012 After having been in Belize only once, I would not want to just wing it. I would go with a company that gets good reviews and has a reputation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loucat Posted March 20, 2012 #5 Share Posted March 20, 2012 We have been there 5 times +. There are many looking to take you anywhere. The problem comes in when they want the maximum number of tourists. We have agreed to go on a tour; the guy says stand here and I will be right back; he is out there hawking for others and you wait there. After a wait and maybe he does not get the number he needs, alot of time passes. We wound up walking away and he never noticed. I agree that finding a reputable agent is the best way to see Belize or do a ships tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
