excursions in Belize

[Coco54]

Our first time to Belize. We are interested in Altun Ha ruins, and would like a combination of the river cruise also.. Anyone know if Princess offers this excursion? If not. Can anyone recommend a reputable tour group in Belize to use?

Yes they do. It is listed as tour BZE-105 on the shore excursions page which you can find on the Princess website. If you would like other tour provider recommendations you can ask for them on the port forums page, but do read the board rules first.

We came back from the Western Caribbean cruise a week ago, and really enjoyed our Belize excursion through Princess. It included a river cruise where we saw monkeys, crocodile, manatees, dolphins, iguana, etc. , lunch, and a tour at Altun Ha. I highly recommend this tour. It is called Altun Ha Maya Ruins, Scenic Cruise, and Lunch. Even though a lot of people were on this tour, they split us into small groups based on boat size, so it didn't seem like a large group tour. It is a long drive to the ruins on some bumpy roads, so be prepared for that, but we like looking at the countryside, so we don't mind bus rides.

 

Princess also has a shorter excursion that goes to Altun Ha, without the river cruise, but I don't know much about that. Check out the Princess website for details.

 

We happen to like Princess excursions. They are well done and well run, and worth paying a little bit more.

We are doing the Lamanai Mayan ruins, mangrove river cruise & lunch Princess excursion on 2/20. Yep you pay a little money for this excursion but I like the safety and security of the Princess excursion. I started a thread on this excursion you may be interested in.

We did that same excursion on our Dec 2011 Royal Caribbean cruise. Loved it. It was a long day but well worth it.

 

Our bus got stuck in a lot of traffic on the way back and we were late getting back to the ship. It's a good thing we had booked our excursion through the cruise line since the ship waited even though we were about an hour late!
