River boat trip to Lamanai

Theresa_G, Apr 2022

The moment we met our delightful driver, the General, there was no doubt that our day was going to be everything we anticipated and more. We appreciate him and the extraordinary tour staff for making this a most surreal experience - one we will talk about often and encourage others to book. Highly recommended!

Sylvia_R, Sep 2017

This tour was very informative and worth the money. Our driver Roberto new so much and could tell us about the history and about Belize oeko system. Nathaniel our guid and boat captain did a great job as well. He showed us the secret of the nature, the animals and birds, and all boaout the Mayan and the pyramides. This both guids gave us an insight of normal life in Belize. Thank yo both for this amazing day.

Site intéressant mais organisation déficiente

Patricia_B, Apr 2019

Le site de Lamanai vaut la visite ainsi que l'approche en bateau. Par contre, une mauvaise organisation avec une longue attente de l'arrivée d'un autre groupe et une visite du site qui n'avait de guidée que le nom. Aucun commentaire historique autre que le nom des monuments, une visite incomplète, ps de temps libre au musée ...
