While Belize River Lodge is known for Flats fishing, being on the mainland, we offer an array of tours for those who want to see a little more of Belize.

{Central Belize, Inland} ALTUN HA Maya Site, COMMUNITY BABOON Sanctuary & BELIZE OLDE RIVER

Start the day with a ride on the old Northern highway (one lane) to Altun Ha which was a major trading center during the Maya Classic Period. The famous jade head of the Mayan sun god, Kinich Ahau, was uncovered here.

Continue on with a visit to the baboon (Belizean local name for the black howler monkey) ranger station and learn about the howler monkey and the local wildlife. Hike through the Bermundian Landing sanctuary and see the howler monkey in their natural habitat.

Finish the day, with a boat ride on our Belize Olde River was the mainstream of activity for the first European settlers, who used the river to transport logwood & mahogany. Settlements along the river still bear the names of those who first staked out claims & worked the area. Crocodiles, iguanas, many species of birds, snakes, turtles, howler monkeys, possibly a manatee, & the f

lora of the area are also attractions on this tour.

Anglers:  If you are an angler the late afternoon is a good time to find the rolling baby tarpon, so your guide will have a light weight rod on board as an “in case”.

Birders:  All three areas, Altun Ha, the Baboon Sanctuary and the Belize Olde River are excellent birding sites.

This is a tour that introduces you to a little of Belize: the Maya, village and river life in the Belize River Valley and birding and a little fishing.
