We booked this Altun Ha Mayan Temple trip with A Plus Adventure Belize at the last minute, having already met locals selling similar itineraries at the ferry terminal close to our hotel. Admittedly A Plus were slightly more expensive but we felt they offered a more reliable service and we were not dissatisfied in our decision.
After booking, we received our ticket (all via Trip Advisor), and the time slot ref. collection direct from our hotel. All went smoothly (despite a minor time delay). We had a comfortable air-conditioned drive as Mark ( driver & guide) transferred us to the temple. A bottle of water was also provided and earlier I was able to easily contact the company and receive message updates ref. the slight pick-up delay.
Once there, Mark helpfully guided us (and the other vehicle guests) around the impressive ancient ruin, which really was worth the visit/expense. Point to note, the A Plus booking does not include the site entrance fee of $10 per person! We incorrectly assumed it did… but again this wasn’t really an issue.
Then it was time to return to the vehicle for our transfer back to Belize City. One hour drive, one hour visit and one hour return… to be honest another 30 minutes at the temple would have been preferable but that is just my opinion, some may say the hour is enough.
So overall a really worthwhile trip, to have not visited the temple would have been something we would regret after the holiday.
A big ‘thank you’ to Mark (our guide) and the company, we had an enjoyable, worthwhile experience.
