Lamanai Tours

Lamanai combines a New River boat journey with a walk among Maya temples beside the New River Lagoon. From the boat, look along the riverbanks for birds and other wildlife. At the reserve, forest paths connect monumental buildings, including the Mask Temple, where a large sculpted face helps bring the site's history into focus.

Questions about the experience

Questions about Lamanai

What is the New River boat ride to Lamanai like?

The boat journey takes you along a river lined with vegetation before reaching Lamanai near the New River Lagoon. Watch the banks and trees for birds, iguanas and other wildlife, though sightings vary. The river approach is a substantial part of the outing, followed by a guided walk through the archaeological reserve.

What will I see at the Lamanai ruins?

Forest paths lead to large Maya temples and other remains beside the lagoon. The Mask Temple is known for its sculpted face of a ruler in a crocodile headdress. Your guide explains the buildings and the site's long history of occupation. Available walks and temple access depend on current site conditions.
