Fantastic River and Mayan Ruin Trip - We had a fantastic river trip to Lamanai. Our guide Javier Junior was so attentive and informative. We got to see Crocodiles, some amazing birds, bats and then the highlight was the howler monkeys swinging around in the trees just in front of the mayan ruins. Javier was very knowledgeable. The lunch was the best rice n beans and stewed chicken I've ever tasted!

Fun Experience. - Would recommend visiting Lanmanai. Very interesting place and the river trip was fun but very windy at times - hold on to your hats. Make sure to hydrate well before departing.

Look no further. Just BOOK this EXCELLENT tour! - Like the title says, look nowhere else and book this tour! What an outstanding day in Belize during our cruise stop. We were promptly picked up from the pier by Ian and Junior, then transported to the loading dock in Orange City, to begin our tour. Ian and Junior expertly navigated us along the New River with a nice speedboat ride to the Lamanai Archaeological Site. Not going to lie, the speedboat is FUN! During the speedboat ride you will see many varieties of animals and plant life. Once we reached the site we got our armbands and began our tour. Ian was our main guide and it's pretty passionate about Lamanai! His attention to detail is top notch and he explained things expertly. I'll tell you this, it was nice to be one of the first ones to visit the temples! We got there before all the tour groups and that made it a nice pleasurable experience. So, while you're not being rushed, it is nice to have the place to yourself and move when it's time to move. ;-) After touring the three temples, in which a couple of them you can climb, we were led to a nice lunch. I didn't get to eat, as I wasn't feeling too well, but the other group members said that lunch was excellent! There is some walking involved during this tour so make sure you wear comfortable shoes and stay HYDRATED! All in all it was a fantastic day in Belize and I wouldn't hesitate to do this tour again upon my return. Thank you Elio, Ian, and Junior!

Excellent Lamanai and boat tour! - The Lamanai Belize tour guides were awesome. Thank you Julian and Ian! Their home cooked Belizean lunch was very tasty! Would heartily recommend this tour! And my wife wants the cole slaw recipe! Julian and Ian were very knowledgeable about Mayan culture and let us spend adequate time at each site. We loved the boat ride and all the wild life that the New Belize river had to offer - from crocodiles to iguanas to all the birds.

Fantastic Experience - I had a tour to visit the Lamanai Ruins scheduled with another company and they canceled last minute. Luckily, I was able to book with Lamanai Belize Tours. Julian and Ian were great. They were fun and informative. Their Mom made us some delicious food for lunch. I highly recommend booking with them!

We booked "Lamanai Belize... - We booked "Lamanai Belize Tours" through Viator. It was a very good tour. Our guide was knowledgeable about Mayan ruins, especially Lamanai, and in addition, on the upstream river boat ride, he pointed out birds and a crocodile, but since none of us said we were birders, he switched to local history as well as ancient history. And he deftly guided us through the ruins timing our stops to avoid getting trapped behind other tour groups. On the return trip, he showed his intimate knowledge of the braided river system, taking us on more private by-ways but always coming out somewhere slightly ahead of the other tour boats on the river. It was a great deal of fun as well as informative.
