Do you have to tender to Harvest Caye?

No. Harvest Caye has its own dock, the only one in Belize, so passengers walk directly off the ship.

Can I take an excursion off Harvest Caye into Belize?

Yes. Harvest Caye is built as a gateway to the Belizean mainland, with excursions to the barrier reef and Mayan ruin sites bookable from the island.

What costs extra at Harvest Caye?

The zip line, suspension bridges and free-fall jumps, cabana service, and most food and drink outlets, including the Landshark Bar & Grill, are separate from general admission.

Harvest Caye

Harvest Caye is a 75-acre, resort-style destination in southern Belize that Norwegian Cruise Line opened in 2016. It is the only port in Belize where passengers walk straight off the ship rather than tender ashore, and it doubles as the starting point for excursions onto the Belizean mainland.
