Skip the crowded buses and travel in a comfortable, air-conditioned van with a dedicated guide who tailors the day to your group’s pace.
Walk through royal plazas, learn how ancient kings lived and traded, and climb to the top of towering stone temples for unforgettable views across the lush rainforest. Paired with a narrated driving tour of Belize City’s highlights and a hot, homemade Belizean lunch, this half-day trip delivers an authentic, stress-free taste of Belize.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Our departure points are usually from the San Pedro Belize Express for our clients coming from Caye Caulker and San Pedro, or from Terminal 1 at the cruise ship dock for our cruise ship clients. If you need us to pick you up from a specific hotel, let us know via email and we’d be glad to accommodate your needs. We can do pickups anywhere in Belize City. Guests on San Pedro, Caye Caulker, St. George's Caye and other islands would need to come in to Belize City to be picked up. Our tours usually leave at 9:00 AM CST, but if you’d like to leave earlier, let us know. We do not offer pickups at Harvest Caye for cruise passengers coming on Norwegian Cruise Line ships as it is a private island owned by that company and most local operators are unable to offer tours there.
