Pickup Locations & Times
Our departure points are usually from the San Pedro Belize Express for our clients coming from Caye Caulker and San Pedro, or from Terminal 1 at the cruise ship dock for our cruise ship clients. If you need us to pick you up from a specific hotel, let us know via email and we’d be glad to accommodate your needs. We can do pickups anywhere in Belize City. Guests on San Pedro, Caye Caulker, St. George's Caye and other islands would need to come in to Belize City to be picked up. Our tours usually leave at 9:00 AM CST, but if you’d like to leave earlier, let us know. We do not offer pickups at Harvest Caye for cruise passengers coming on Norwegian Cruise Line ships as it is a private island owned by that company and most local operators are unable to offer tours there.

Our family (13 to 65 years old) really enjoyed the excursion. It took a little over an hour to get to Altun Ha. . There were road works so it was slow going, but it was great to see the scenery on the way. Altun Ha was really interesting and Jose gave us a little tour with insights into the ruins and Mayan culture. Because of a knee injury we rented a collapsible wheelchair from the cruise ship. Altun Ha was really accessible (if someone is willing to push) because it’s compact and flat. The younger and more able were able to climb up the ruins which was exciting for them. On the way back to Belize City, we stopped at a traditional restaurant and had a great meal of chicken rice and beans. Jose also stopped by the road to buy some bananas to let us try. On the way back to the port, we drove through the city centre and Jose pointed out the interesting colonial buildings. All in all a great half day out.
This excursion was by far my favorite excursion. Ever since I wanted to go to Belize, I've wanted to go to the Mayan Ruins. And this excursion made me so happy! We climbed up the stairs of the tallest ruin temple in Altun Ha. It was so much fun, exactly what I wanted to do, we learned so much about the Mayans of that time and their culture. The ruins were beautiful. The view from the top was great. And we hiked it on a day where it was between 95-100 degrees outside with 100% humidity! We still had a great time. The lunch was so good shoutout to the chef lady there. The gifts at the shops were handmade and so beautiful! Definitely think of getting any souvenirs from this excursion and this site. It's unforgettable.
Doesn't seem like there is an overwhelming amount of activities here to do, maybe there is and I don't know about them. But for what this one does, and what you get, and I like the guide and driver, same person but entertaining. So yeah, I think it was good
Great time!.Knowledgeable and friendly guide. Would do again!
Great to have a private tour with extended family. Jose waited for us when the tender took longer than expected. Nice, customized experience for our group
Great private tour with only 2 couples. Very timely in picking us up from the cruise terminal. Very knowledgeable about the Altun Ha Mayan Ruins. Icing on the cake was a great lunch of chicken, rice and beans.
We had a private tour with Jose today. He picked us up at the pier. Went to the Altun Ha ruin He explained it all to us. Then we drove around the city. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable.
We had an amazing experience. Our tour, guide, Jeffrey was knowledgeable about the culture and history of Belize. He made it fun! This particular tour was 4-5 hours which included the ruins, lunch, and the city. It was not too exhausting like the all day tours. It was perfect for us. Thank you for a memorable experience.
Great tour we got to see and learn about the history of Altun Ha Temple and we got some authentic Belizean Food it was delicious!!! Also got to try the Belkin beer! Jose took good care of us!
We had an extra day in Belize City before joining our group. A half day visit to the ruins & a tour of the city was just right!
