Lamani and New River Excursion Tips

[PACURN]

We did this excursion the first week of April. There were no mosquitos but we were prepared with bug spray if we needed it. The guide advised our group that it would not be needed. It was HOT around 95 they made sure everyone had water and kept hydrated. We had a lot of people the brought infants and very small children. This is not a good idea, they did not enjoy it and little ones can't tell you when they are thirsty or if they are getting dehydrated or having heat issues. Our guide even stated this was unusual and that people don't think when bringing babys and such on this tour. Its to rocky for strollers so you have to carry them. We thought it was a great trip and really enjoyed it. DH climbed the ruins in shorts and didn't have any issues.

I bet there were some unhappy kids. Hot and miserable.

I did this trip in October and we had a group of 6 WELL PREPARED people. We laughed at other groups with people with flip flops. Everyone knew it was going to be a REAL ADVENTURE which it was since Belize was COMPLEATLY FLOODED. We were also prepared to arive in time for the second to last tender. EVERYONE watched the clock and we had a GREAT time. But there is NO TIME TO SHOP so be prepared for it.

 

 

Shopping in Belize is not worth it anyway.
