Mayan Ruins

Long before the discovery of the Americas by Europeans, the land now known as Belize was home to a thriving and advanced culture. The living descendants of this period are a proud part of the mosaic of modern Belize, while the remains of their cities and cultural centers are found all over the land. Many are recognized archeological sites but others remain undiscovered in farmers' fields and townspeople's back gardens. We will be happy to assist you in planning a day trip or an overnight excursion to these unique aspects of our Belizean heritage. From the island we recommend two Mayan sites; Altun Ha and Lamanai.

The trip to these sites begins with a boat ride from Victoria House Pier for a short crossing to the mainland. You will then have a snack breakfast on board and head up the Northern River to the village of Bomba. Along the way you'll have the chance to see crocodiles, exotic birds, tropical fauna and other denizens of the jungle river environment. At Bomba, road transportation awaits for a short trip overland to either the ruins of Altun Ha or to another jungle riverboat for Lamanai. If your trip is to Altun Ha you will then be taken to the Maruba Jungle Lodge for lunch (not included in trip cost) or served lunch at the site of Lamanai. Return to Victoria House in time to freshen up before dinner.

Full Day to Altun Ha Mayan Ruins $75.00 excluding lunch
Full Day to Lamanai Ruins $135.00 including lunch

Birding

An amazing variety of birds including the rare and secretive Black Catbird may be observed in the immediate vicinity of Victoria House. A forty minute boat ride to the leeward side of Ambergris Caye will introduce you to many more birds indigenous to this area. Some species you can observe include Great Blue and Little Blue Herons, Roseate Spoonbills, White Ibis, Brown Pelicans, the Reddish Egret in its rare White Phase and the majestic five foot tall Jabiru Strork. On your way back for lunch at the hotel you may choose to stop for a refreshing snorkel on the reef.
