jjmsbu09 Posted January 13, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 13, 2014 How is the Carnival excursion to Altun Ha? I've always wanted to see some ruins in Central America but don't want the long bus ride to Xunantunich. Just curious if anyone has any insight? Thank you!

Rare crewsweeper Posted January 13, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 13, 2014 As I recall, at one time there were 2 excursions via Carnival to Altun Ha. One via the River Wallace, the other with a Belize City tour attached. I'd opt for the river if it's not going to be a sweltering day. there are plenty of threads on this board with good pictures and description of actual ruins. Most tours are similar once there. Definitely a good set of ruins to see. Tours are generally 4-6 hours total and the River had a lunch stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wantocruisemore Posted January 13, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 13, 2014 You can just book an excursion to go see Altum Ha. That would only be for a half day. Either private or by ship. We did the Altum Ha/River Wallace and enjoyed it but found out it wasn't that far from port. We could have done a private, just not with the boat.

jjmsbu09 Posted January 14, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Thank you all! I'll look into the excursion with the river stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantocruisemore Posted January 14, 2014 #6 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Thank you all! I'll look into the excursion with the river stop. If you do the River Wallace tour be sure to take a hat for the boat. It is hot and there's no top. Be sure the hat can be secured to your head since the boat goes fast. Also, some insect repellant.

I have not been to Altun Ha, but have been to Xunantunich, which I would highly recommend-they were really awesome, and though the bus ride is somewhat long, it went fast-so much countryside to see along the way, and the tour guide provided information about Belize and kept us entertained. Just something for your consideration, and not to rule out, due to the somewhat long bus ride. Whatever you decide, enjoy, and happy cruising!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
