Enjoy a scenic drive through the lush, historic Belize River Valley and a speedboat cruise on the New River Lagoon, both leading you to Lamanai — what was once the largest Mayan ceremonial site in all of Mesoamerica. Explore fascinating ruins, followed by a delicious Belizean-style lunch before making your way back to your ship. On your narrated drive to Lamanai, relax in air-conditioned comfort while passing though historic villages which were the original settlements of the colony of British Honduras. When you reach Ayinha Eco Park, board a speedboat to ride along the New River Lagoon, rich in diverse, exotic wildlife. At Lamanai, explore what was once a major city of the Maya civilization, occupied as early as 1500 BC. Make your way the top of the 108-foot-tall High Temple for sweeping views of the jungle and the New River Lagoon. After, return to Ayinha to enjoy a tasty Belizean-style lunch, cooked with local coconut oil and seasoned to perfection. Relax with a tropical drink, locally brewed Belikin Beer or local rums paired with fresh organic coconut water, all available for purchase at the bar. Be sure to browse the gift shop for souvenirs before taking the scenic route back to port.
