Lamanai Mayan Ruins & New River Cruise

A Scenic Cruise to a Splendid Mayan Site Board a river boat ride through the natural splendor of Belize to explore an ancient Mesoamerican site. You will tender to shore, meet your guide and drive to a dock on the New River, where your boat awaits. During your sail, you might see native birds taking wing above, or local fauna perched in trees along the banks and lounging on the shore. At Lamanai, enjoy a walking tour through the plazas with your guide as you keep your eyes peeled for the protected howler monkeys that reside here. This was once a major city of the Mayan civilization, thriving here until the 17th century. Admire the Mask Temple, with its symmetrical face carvings; the stepped-pyramid shape of the Jaguar Temple; and the High Temple, whose 108-foot peak can be accessed by stairs and affords views of the surrounding jungle. After time to explore on your own, continue to lunch and return to your ship. * Demanding - Physically challenging activities, including extensive walks, hiking, riding, water sports, and high altitude activities.
