On Day 5 we arrived at Harvest Caye in Belize.
After another time change and breakfast we headed to the excursion.
Snorkeling the reef. Checked in did the waiver and got in a boat to take us
We passed by the Norwegian Gateway on the way to the reef.
Got out to the reef, geared up with mask, fins, snorkel, and a snorkel vest and jumped in the water. I had brough my own fins, s and snorkel as, after all, I had schlepped them along for the dive so used them on this swim, and they were better than the ones provided from the tour in any case.
Nice bath water temperature water, pleasant sunny day, calm waters, and barely any current at all. A very easy snorkel experience.
The reef was pretty shallow with quite a lot of healthy coral on it.
Shallow, so not a ton of fish, but the guide would duck underwater to point them out.
Lots of fire coral that needed to be avoided.
Touching fire coral would suck, and everyone successfully avoided it.
Compared to the dives the amount of ocean life was underwhelming but it was still a fun experience and the corals were rather nice to look at.
The tour lasted an hour and the boat came to pick us up and we headed back to the pier.
On the way we saw some people doing boat parachuting.
Probably had the best view around.
Then we went to a Belize chocolate shop and sampled and bought some excellent locally made chocolates.
The sea salt and lime was excellent.
After that we headed back to the ship, got some food, and went to watch a comedy show. After that we again headed to the Howlin' At The Moon show and belted out some tunes.
Quite a good day.
