While taking the tender from the Carnival Legend to Belize City, my husband mentioned we wanted to go to Bannister Island. A crew member hooked us up with a family of 15 from Canada with the same plan. He said we could better negoiate price with more people and suggested to find "Harold" on the pier. We got a boat...

We spent a half day on Bannister Island and enjoyed it. I booked it through RCI mainly because with two small kids we did not want to tender and we got picked up and returned directly to the ship. I'm not sure if you can book this directly but if so you would have to tender which is about 15-20... More

We visited Bannister Island as an excursion while on a cruise. It was very nice, the staff was friendly and the food was good. The tender from our ship was only about 15 minutes long to the island. There is lots to do on the island for kids and adults. I would go there again.

The beach is really pretty...but I would recommend water shoes because there are small seashells everywhere.... More

The island itself is very close to the port and within 15 minutes your sitting on your beach lounger looking out at the beautiful blue water. The island... More

Everything you need is here for a great day of Sun & Sand on a beach!

The island wasn't very big but if you wanted somewhere private without a lot of company this was great! The food was very good and so was the service.
