This Lamanai tour has become one of the most popular Mayan sites to visit as our guests get to experience a tour of the New River in Northern Belize as they make their way to the site. This river tour offers a great opportunity for our visitors to view some of the country's tropical birds and wildlife such as howler monkeys, crocodiles turtles, and manatees. At the the site upon arrival, you will be served lunch which is a homemade Belizean meal. Bottle water and fruit juices will also be available. Your tour guide will then take you through this amazing ancient Mayan city of Lamanai. The highlight of this tour is visiting the mask temple where you get to see the largest mask of an Olmec person in this region. You will also visit the high temple which allows you to overlook the new river lagoon. Your tour of this ancient city culminates at the Jaquar temple. After a short stop at the shopping area, you will be brought back to the landing area by boat for your transfer to Belize City

Albert and Dean were exceptional to work with in planning our trip. Albert answered my many questions and really went out of his way to make sure that we got a great tour and were back at the airport in time for our flight to Ambergris Caye. They picked us up right on time and Dean took us out for the tour. they even help out bags for us and dropped us off at the airport for our flight. The company they partnered with for the river and site tour were awesome as well.
A very well run and friendly group to work with and I would highly recommend them.

It took me a while to post this 2nd review as sadly TripAdvisor didn't allow me to do it for the 3 months after I posted my previous one here called Trip with Albert to Xunantunich - needless to say we took 2 trips during same week with A Plus Adventures and despite 6 months going by I believe people like Albert need these reviews and deserve to be known as they are the great people who share their country, history and culture with people like me, like you, like us.
Similarly to our other trip with A Plus Adventures, Albert picked us up from our resort and we did about 45-minute (from Belize City) drive in his SUV where then he "transferred" us over to another nice gentleman who was our both, the boat captain, and the tour guide through the New River tour and the magnificent Lamanai - I have reviewed Lamanai separately if you are interested, here I will just say a dream come true it was, enjoyed it way more than Chichen Itza and despite being completely different I would compare it joy wise close to visiting Matchu Picchu - Belize is an extremely underrated place when it comes to Mayan ruins and may be that's the beauty of it, fewer people know about it leaving all of these amazing places virgin and greatly untouched!
The tour itself includes thus the round trip drive, the round trip boat ride, the entrance fees to the Lamanai park and of course the tour guide is included in that - an excellent value. You can get to Lamanai just by the car but we thought that the combo of boat ride and the walking tour were a truly great combination. Take some sunscreen with you, and some water as while it's nice and breezy on the boat (sunny though!) it's very humid and hot within the forest/Lamanai sites. Lastly, an excellent lunch was included in the tour - very tasty home made food prepared by our tour guide's wife :)
Highly recommend this company and this excellent tour - it's a full day full package, you won't regret it!
