Lamanai and Scenic Boat Ride Along the New River Lagoon

From Belize City, drive to Orange Walk and then take a boat trip along the New River to Lamanai. Please keep your camera handy as there will be many opportunities to photograph monkeys and other wildlife. It is a beautiful and relaxing way to begin your day before you climb and walk through the temples of Lamanai. Find out the names of the plants and animals along the way from your experienced guide. There will be a couple of stops for your boat captain to mimic the sound of the animals in the area and to take pictures.

If you do not fear heights, climbing the tallest temple at Lamanai to get a unique view above the canopy is a piece of cake. For safety, protection, and balance, roped steps lead up and down the temple. A guided tour will provide you with insight into the daily life of the Mayan people who once occupied this beautiful location. You can purchase souvenirs and local crafts at this site.
