BarBug Posted July 25, 2008 #1 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Requesting opinions on whether to book through NCL shore excursions or find a private tour operator for a visit to Altun Ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryde Posted July 28, 2008 #2 Share Posted July 28, 2008 We were on carnival, but did their tour of Altun Ha - usually book locally, but didn't want to be that far from the ship without a ship tour. Ours included a boat trip back for almost 2 hours, with crocodiles, manatees, and dolphins, so it was well worth the $71 for 6 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weekendcruiser Posted July 29, 2008 #3 Share Posted July 29, 2008 More info please ... what was it called ... what company? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minncruisers Posted July 29, 2008 #4 Share Posted July 29, 2008 We booked through our ship, thankfully. Our bus broke down on our way back from the ruins and we were a tad late getting back to the tenders. Had we booked privately and our bus broke down...ugh, I don't dare think about the possible nightmare that would have been. I always weigh the pros and cons of booking through a private company. We have a mix of private and cruise ship excursions planned for each cruise we take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More info please ... what was it called ... what company? I believe it's called the Wallace River/Altun Ha excursion. Lots of fun.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yumagal Posted July 31, 2008 #6 Share Posted July 31, 2008 We took NCLs river ride/Altun Ha trip and enjoyed it very much. It included the boat ride where we saw all kinds of animals, then a lunch by the river. After lunch we boarded a bus to Altun Ha and were the only bus there so we had the place to our selves. My Mom (77) was traveling with me and had no trouble with the river boat or touring Altun Ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildcatCruiser99 Posted August 3, 2008 #7 Share Posted August 3, 2008 We booked our tour through Island Marketing. We had a private tour so it was just me, my husband, and our guide. Our guide was great. She took us on a tour of the city and this to the ruins. It was great because if we wanted to stop for pictures she was willing. Happy Cruising!
