Caribbean Cruises: Excursions

Sit back in your air-conditioned transportation as we travel through the colorful city of Coxen Hole to a panoramic observation sight for stunning views of the picturesque city port and town center. Take a postcard shot with your ship in the background. Great souvenir shopping can be done here as well. Continuing on we’ll travel through Dixon's Cove, famous for its history of pirates. We'll continue on through the communities of Brick Bay, Mount Pleasant and the fishing village of French Harbor before arriving to Sherman's Iguana Refuge and Fish Nursery in French Cay. Here you'll have a wonderful experience with nature as you mingle among hundreds of iguanas that live in their natural habitat but are as tame as pets. Watch massive tarpons swim alongside the barracuda and other shell fish species such as Caribbean lobsters and conch at the Fish Nursery. Visit an exclusive private estate known as Cindy’s Paradise Place at the top of First Bight Community. Enjoy stunning views of the whole island surrounded by the world-famous barrier reef.

An approximately 45-minute drive up the Northern Highway brings you to Tower Hill, where you'll board a riverboat and head up the New River. While navigating the many little creeks and lagoons, it's easy to encounter hawks, kites and falcons. Dainty jacanas lightly walk on the lily pads while crocodiles bask in the sunlight. At the entrance to the New River Lagoon, the ruins of Lamanai (Mayan for 'submerged crocodile') rise into view. As you tour the site, huge masks depicting dead rulers and gods seem to materialize out of the rainforest, amid the chatter of birds and the haunting call of the howler monkeys. less
