Located on the east coast of Belize at the mouth of the Belize River, Belize City sits on a peninsula jutting into the Caribbean Sea. As the nation's main port, the city is a hub for cruise ships and is often a jumping-off spot for excursions to other parts of Belize, including the Cayo District's caves and Maya archaeological sites along the Macal and Belize rivers. Belize City boasts the only manual swing bridge in the world and the oldest Anglican cathedral in Central America.

The owner of our lodge in Belize arranged this half day cave tubing. Our guide was Dione, and it was only myself, my husband and our 24 year old daugher on this cave tubing trip. It was a lot of fun, we saw some beautiful cave formations and enjoyed the opportunity to cool down in the river. At some points it was pretty shallow (lift your butt) but as Dione promised he got us through. Dione was a great guide, and made the whole experience a lot of fun. We had lunch afterwards on site, and the food was very good - try the ceviche.

Very good guided tour by the volunteer docent. Well worth the donation charge to learn some of the history of this old church.

There is a great Belize sign inside the cruise terminal perfect for pictures. It is next to swings and a bar/restaurant. It is nice each city and small country in the Caribbean and beyond is doing this. You can get a collection of pics by each port you visit!

First of all it is a fun bridge to go over. Second it is very charming. Third if you not a local or a Belizean only go on this bridge you either have a driver or you are on a tour.

Ladies and Gentlemen, if you have a curious mind, go visit the Supreme Court of Belize - And see a piece of history from colonial times that is STILL BEING USED as a functional couthouse! Be prepared to step into history - read up on the history of Belize from Mayan times to the present - its entanglements with Guatemala, Mexico, Great Britain, and Spain. It's incredibly fascinating story that really needs to be explored. Belizean story is considerably different from Jamaica, Barbados, and the socio-economic dynamics of these countries. Come, learn about Belize, love the food and love the people. Belize has lots to offer. And you can start here, at the Supreme Court of Belize, look out into the ocean, and imagine the ships and the people that have come and gone.
