We are going on a Western Caribbean cruise aboard the Carnival Miracle. This will be Jim's second, and my first cruise so we are very excited!
Tampa, Florida. We will have a day to explore around the port in Tampa, and will be travelling with the Pirate Water Taxi while we are there.
We will leave on Saturday June 15th, 2019 and be back Sunday June 23rd, 2019.
For the first two hours we will be on an excursion called Amphibious Bus Land & Seas Adventure. It's a fully narrated tour which journeys through picturesque George Town and goes to all the key sites with memorable history, amazing facts and, above all, lots of fun while in the comfort and security of a Hydra-Terra Amphibious Bus! After that we will get to explore the area!
We will be on an island for the day. Maya Key is 11+ acre oasis of fun and relaxation. A short scenic boat ride from port to enjoy the natural setting of pristine beaches, lush gardens, tropical waters and the Meso-American coral reef. Other experiences will include an animal rehabilitation and rescue facility. We will also have the chance to explore the Mayan ball court and plazas, interpretation center, and art exhibits.
We will be on the Airboat & Jaguar Zoo Combo excursion most of this day. The Belize Zoo includes close up encounters of notorious Belize wildlife in their natural habitat, such as Jaguars, Crocodiles, Toucans, Tapirs, Spiders and Howler Monkeys to name a few. Next, an adventurous 45 minute airboat ride on the marsh land in the Almond Hill Lagoon which includes a trip through the Indian Creek, one of Belize’s rich natural wonders of the world.
For the majority of the day we will be on Passion Island. We will travel by motorized catamaran along Cozumel's coast to Isla Pasion, a beautiful picture perfect private island where white sandy beaches and clear turquoise waters meet. We will also have a bit of time to explore near the port here as well.
