About Altun Ha and Baboon Sanctuary Excursion
This Altun Ha and Baboon Sanctuary Excursion is a good way to enjoy Belize when you want history, wildlife, and local guide support in one relaxed day. It is especially nice for guests who want something meaningful, but not too difficult or too far from Belize City.
The first part of the experience brings you into the world of the ancient Maya at Altun Ha. The site is open, easy to follow, and full of history. As you walk through the plazas and temple areas, your guide can explain the story behind the stones, the people who lived there, and the importance of this Maya city in a way that is clear and easy to understand.
The Baboon Sanctuary adds a completely different feeling to the day. Instead of temples and plazas, you are now learning about forest habitat, black howler monkeys, and the local families who help protect them. Many guests enjoy this stop because it feels real and connected to the community. It is not a staged wildlife show. It is a chance to learn how conservation works in a Belizean village setting.
What makes this excursion better as a private tour is the care in the pacing. Your guide is not trying to rush a large group through every stop. There is time to explain, answer questions, help your group feel comfortable, and adjust the flow where the day allows.
If your group wants a Belize tour with Maya history, wildlife, and a local story behind it, this excursion is a strong option. Share your pickup point, date, and group details, and we can help you plan it properly.

Important Information
Send your travel date, pickup location, group size, and any timing limits before confirming. Cruise guests should include ship name, scheduled arrival, tender or docking details when available, and final all-aboard time.

Tour order can change because of weather, road conditions, site rules, sea conditions, park operations, or safety decisions by the guide/operator.
