Browse Belize Excursions on Viator →Reviewer says the $70/person excursion from Celebrity Apex to Goff's Caye (near Belize City) was an exceptional value and a hassle-free “slice of paradise.” Transport is direct from the ship via a ~30-minute boat ride, with about 4 hours on the island plus optional snorkeling at the Belize Barrier Reef. The island is small with limited shade, offers facilities and paid food/drinks, and the excursion can sell out due to capacity limits.
