For our Belize excursion we did the Maya ruins at Lamanai and the New River Safari. I think most people who enjoy history and wildlife would enjoy this excursion (the bus ride to the river can get exhausting and does not go through the most scenic/beautiful parts of Belize and this excursion will take all day). For those who aren’t into history or want more scenic options, there are beach and cave tubing excursions as well.
Below are some pictures of the wildlife we saw along the New River:
What’s left of a Mayan calendar:
The Ball Court (interesting but kind of creepy at the same time):
The High Temple: It doesn’t look like a workout but it is (you only have a few minutes to climb):
The Mask Temple (I declined a picture next to that creepy mask lol):
Some of the locals along the New River:
Did I enjoy this excursion? YES
Would I recommend it? YES (if you enjoy history and wildlife)
Would I visit more Maya ruins/temples? Absolutely!!!!
