What to Do in Harvest Caye
Harvest Caye is located in the southern part of Belize, right off the coast of Placencia. While not a private island, Norwegian developed it. The island has earned accolades from Porthole Magazine, naming Harvest Caye the "Best New Cruise Port" in 2017.
When you arrive at Harvest Caye, you'll find a 75-acre playground, complete with a large pool and swim-up bar, 7-acre beach, and a salt-water lagoon perfect for water sports. Choose to spend your day exploring the island or book one of Norwegian's popular excursions to the mainland of Belize.
Some of the featured activities on Harvest Caye include:
- Zip lining across the island.
- Kayaking in the lagoon.
- Stand-up paddle-boarding.
- Shopping at a large shopping village with local Belizean handcrafts.
- Swimming in the lagoon.
You can also spend the day relaxing here in privacy when you rent a canopy cabana. These cabanas accommodate six guests. You can access your own concierge food and beverage service, private bathrooms, and golf cart access to get around the island.
For cruise passengers who want to explore more of Belize, book one of our top excursions. Options include rainforest river tubing, the ancient Maya site of Nim Li Punit, or opt to learn about Belize's local flora and fauna in a lagoon and mangrove tour.
