What To Expect

Altun Ha

Altun Ha, meaning “Rockstone Pond” in the Maya language, was once a bustling hub of trade and religious activity. Archaeologists believe that the city reached its height between 200-900 AD, with a population of up to 10,000 people. As you walk through the expansive site, you’ll feel a sense of awe, knowing that you’re standing on the same ground where the ancient Maya once lived, worked, and worshipped. The city’s location made it a key trading center, with goods such as jade, obsidian, and exotic feathers flowing through its markets.

Outstanding!! Our ATV ride through the jungle and the farm was an amazing adventure that we couldn’t do back home. So glad we did it! Adrian, our driver and tour guide at Altun Ha was more informative than a history teacher, for real! He spoke many languages and was super friendly. When we got to the ATVs we met Nick, who led us on that tour. We stopped along the way and ate the unique fruit that was around every corner. He was also super friendly and informative. I highly recommend this trip with these two professionals!

Excellent tour. We were met at the dock and short walk to the car. Our tour guide was outstanding and the car Ford Explorer very nice. Tour was well worth the money. Altun Ha was outstanding, Have been to others in Mexico and this one was very interesting and the guide/driver was great. Very good roads-no pot holes.

We had an absolute amazing time touring the city of Belize and Altun Ha with Miss Melanie! Not only was she funny but she was extremely knowledgeable about Belize and the ruins. She allowed us some free time to roam the ruins after giving us a quick run through and we didn't feel like there was someone constantly breathing down our necks which was much welcomed! The lunch stop was also amazing, best island food we've ever had. We will return and we will again use your company!
Wonderful Tour Guide and Tour

This was the most wonderful tour and personal guide provided by Melanie. So glad I took this personal guided tour. She was absolutely incredible dealing with two of us and our disabilities and our off the beaten path questions. I would go back just to visit with Melanie.
Lots of fun, Melanie is great.

This was the first visit to Belize for most of our group of 8. Melanie was our tour guide and was very friendly and knowledgeable. The ruins visit was very interesting and we enjoyed hearing about the culture and history in Belize along the way. The visit for local food added even more to the experience. Highly recommended!!
Excellent Excursions and Melanie was the BEST!

Our tour guide for this excursions was Adrian and he was great. There were only 3 other families with us so it was like a private tour. He was very informative along the whole tour and got us back with plenty of time to shop before having to be back on the ship.
It couldn't have been better

Our excursion to Altun Ha was educational and interesting. Our guide, Louigi was excellent and committed to see that we had the best possible experience. Our transportation and the arranged lunch was outstanding and Louigi arranged for our on site guide, Randy, who was extremely knowledgable. The activity level was not strenuous and the site is relatively flat. If you have an ECV, ask Louigi and he may be able to accommodate you.
Highly recommend Belize Fun Tours for seeing Belize!

We loved our trip to Belize and to the Altun Ha ruins. We had a fabulous tour with Louigi! A representative from Belize Fun Tours was waiting for us at the designated spot. We waited for a few minutes and then were escorted along with several other groups to where the outside tour operators park their vehicles. When we arrived there, they had several other tours going out, but ours was waiting on another group, so Louigi allowed us to wait in another vehicle since there was no seating in the area. We waited for the other group for a bit but Louigi was very respectful of our time and did not want to delay our tour too much so we set out on what had become a private tour for our group. He is obviously passionate about his home of Belize and he wanted to make sure we had a great tour. We drove to the ruins where were met by a local guide, Randy, who conducted that portion of the tour. He was extremely knowledgeable and his talk was both informative and engaging. As we left, we were given time to shop as there were many local vendors offering everything from Mayan calendars to shot glasses and jewelry. We were then taken to an authentic Belizean lunch. The food was delicious and we even got to try their Coca-Cola, which is different than what we are used to in the US. Wi-Fi was also available at lunch, which was a plus. As we drove through Belize City, Louigi made sure to drive past interesting sites and explain about the history and culture of Belize. We will definitely tour again with Belize Fun Tours the next time we visit Belize!
