About this excursion
Journey deep into the Belizean jungle by boat to discover Lamanai, one of the country’s largest and longest-inhabited ancient Maya cities! Combining an exciting wildlife river safari with towering jungle temples, this unforgettable adventure takes you straight into the heart of nature and history.
Your day starts with a comfortable, air-conditioned ride from Belize City to the New River. Hop aboard a riverboat and cruise through lush rainforest waterways as your sharp-eyed guide spots crocodiles, tropical birds, iguanas, and howler monkeys along the banks.
Arrive at the hidden temples of Lamanai, where you’ll hike shaded forest trails, see ancient stone masks, and climb the High Temple for jaw-dropping views over the treetops and lagoon. Refuel with an included, homemade Belizean lunch of stewed chicken, rice and beans, and cold drinks before a scenic return trip back to town.
