By Sea

Several cruise lines call on Belize City, which is the largest city in Belize. You can visit one of the Maya ruins, ride an airboat in the salt marshes just outside the city, shop go to the museum, go to the zoo or take either a short cave rafting trip or snorkeling but that's about it. Small speedboats operate on a daily basis between Puerto Barrios and Livingston in Guatemala to Punta Gorda. The ride takes around two hours.
