About this activity

Gliding silently along the New River, spotting tropical birds through the canopy. This Lamanai tour has become one of the most popular Mayan sites to visit. You will be able to walk through centuries-old plazas where history whispers between the ruins. Spotting exotic birds and wildlife that vanish if you blink—perfect for photos or awe-filled moments. At the site, you will be served lunch, which is a homemade Belizean meal. Bottled water and fruit juices will also be available. Your tour guide will then take you through this amazing ancient Mayan city of Lamanai.

You will then be returned to the landing area by boat for your transfer to Belize City. An unexpected jungle encounter awaits—are you ready?
