Where is the Harvest Caye cruise port?

Harvest Caye was the first cruise port in Belize where ships dock rather than tender. The ISPS-compliant facility occupies the southern end of the island.

From the gangway it's up to 15 minutes along the long covered pier (trams help guests with limited mobility). A limited paid ferry (about 400 places a day, booked at the onboard excursion desk) links the marina with Placencia village.
