This is the view of Lamanai maya site from on top the High Temple (100 feet high). Lamanai, "Submerged Crocodile", dates from around 900 B.C. to AD1544 which makes the longest known occupation of a mayan site. This is where the Spanish tried to convert the mayas to christianity by building a church on top of a Mayan temple (twice). The mayas destroyed it (twice). The Spanish never returned. Lamanai is famous for it's LARGE Stucco Masks. The New River or "Dzuluinicob" (meaning Foreign men).
Crocodile Night Spotting Adventure is done by boat and is quite the adventure. We trying to spot these majestic creatures in the darkness while fish jump out of the water to catch bugs. We, of course, only observe from a safe distance and never interact with the crocs, making this adventure quite safe for everyone.
One of the best of the west and a full day excursion. Xunantunich or The Stone Maiden
is best known for its friezes on El Castillo, which depict the sun, moon and even Venus. It's the second tallest building in Belize and still accessed only by a hand cranked ferry. One of the great powers in the Maya world.
We travel upstream to the areas less traveled while looking out for iguanas, river birds, Black howler monkeys, turtles, crocodiles etc. along the way. Bringing along your personal binoculars and cameras is an excellent idea.
Recommended for the whole family.
We depart from Ladyville for a Full day (or half day) private snorkeling Adventure. We visit two or three pristine snorkel spots along the Belize Barrier Reef, the corals are absolutely gorgeous and magnificent. We recommend you bring along your personal mask and fins gear to ensure a perfect fit. Spotting Fishes/wildlife are wonderful coincidences.
Floating through caves on inner tubes over little rapids. One of Belize's most popular tour - hands down! So... we like to plan our day in order to avoid the crowds. An easy half day tour that is typically combined with zip line or the Belize zoo. Unless you're looking for an extremely full active day do all three (Cave Tubing, Zip and Zoo).
Goff's Caye is an island about 20 miles Northeast from the Ladyville Marina, where we keep our boat. It is a very popular little reef island because of its beautiful corals and white sandy beach.
It's excellent day for the novice snorkeler since it's located smack right on the Belize Barrier reef and when you get tired or uncomfortable you simply walk on to the shore. We snorkel equipped with a life ring for your safety plus if you prefer you may want to hire Ed, our resident scuba instructor, for some one on one snorkeling lessons.
This is a very full day.
This site is dates back to 200BC and is one of the more compact Mayan sites which allow us to have a better feel and understanding of the inner workings of the Mayan structure. The mayan temple shown above (B4) is the place where the largest carved jade head has ever been found in the entire mayan world weighing in at 9 and 3/4 pounds and stands about 6 inches tall. Altun Ha can easily be done in Half a day or combined with another half day tour.
Crooked Tree is a sleepy, quiet little village which lies in the center of a lagoon and home to lots of birds many of which we can see at several stops along the way and on birding trails there. Also you may choose to add a two to three hour birding boat tour at Crooked Tree, a great way to see many water birding such as the Jabiru Stork.
Go zipping through the jungle! Scream all the way until you get to the other platform. Then zip over the river! Scream all the way until you get to the other platform. Then you climb higher and scream again. For a total of six lines each having an extra line above for safety
Zipline Adventure can be easily combined with Cave Tubing or the Belize Zoo.
The Belize Zoo is considered by many people to be the best little zoo in the world and is a sanctuary for damaged Belizean animals who can't defend themselves in the wild anymore. The Zoo has gone to great lengths to comfort the rescued animals with huge enclosures that trys to replicate their natural habitat. But...The beautiful part is... that the Belize Zoo then allows us a closer look and maybe even a close encounter with Belize's animals which we may not be lucky to see or permitted to encounter in the wild. We highly recommend a visit to the Belize Zoo.
Travel back in time, experience the feel of walking in the footsteps of the ancient Maya making huge sacrifices trying to save their crops and way of life. This is arguably one of Belize's best inland adventure and possibly one of the most expensive.
This activity is an extremely strenuous adventure, and therefore you must be in pretty good physical condition to participate, so much so you'll find yourself sleeping on the way back to the lodge but happy you can say you did it!.
This tour is only offered by special request.
