A Day in the Shadows of the Mayan Kings: Altun Ha Maya Ruins Carnival Belize Excursion

Step off your Carnival cruise ship and into a world of wonder with our Carnival Belize Excursions to the mesmerizing Altun Ha Maya Ruins! This shore excursion is the perfect blend of adventure and education, designed to captivate families and friends alike during their brief but unforgettable stop in Belize.

As your ship docks at the bustling Belize City port, our knowledgeable guide will greet you with a genuine Belizean smile. From there, you’ll board a comfortable, air-conditioned coach that will whisk you away through Belize’s lush landscapes, setting the stage for an adventure you won’t soon forget.

Our Carnival Belize Excursions take you deep into the heart of the tropical jungle, where the roadways are framed by emerald-green canopies. Keep your eyes peeled for Belize’s playful wildlife—monkeys, green iguanas, and if luck is on your side, perhaps even a pecary!

Within an hour, we’ll arrive at the awe-inspiring Altun Ha Maya Ruins. As you step off the coach, you’ll be welcomed by the haunting calls of howler monkeys, filling the air with an electric charge that harks back to an age of gods, kings, and a once-dominant Mayan empire.

Your guide, an expert in both Mayan history and Belizean culture, will paint a vivid tapestry of the past as you explore the ruins. Stand before the Temple of the Masonry Altars—the site’s most magnificent structure—and experience the same sense of awe that countless generations of Mayans once felt. Let the young and the young-at-heart touch the ancient stone carvings, their fingers tracing the outlines of a civilization that dates back thousands of years.

Marvel at the Sun God’s Tomb while your guide weaves captivating stories of royal ceremonies, sacrifices, and hidden treasures. You’ll even get to see a replica of the famous Jade Head, a monumental carving representing the Mayan Sun God.

As our Carnival Belize Excursions wind down, we know that all this exploring can work up an appetite. That’s why we include a scrumptious Belizean meal at a local restaurant. Imagine savoring a mouth-watering chicken stew accompanied by coconut-infused rice and beans, all bursting with the authentic flavors of Belize.

Before we escort you back to the Belize City port, we’ll make a brief stop at a local handicraft market. This is your opportunity to grab unique souvenirs like handmade Mayan crafts or Belize’s renowned chocolates and spices.

Our Altun Ha Maya Ruins Shore Excursion offers a perfect blend of history, adventure, and cultural immersion. Whether you’re a history aficionado, an adventurous spirit, or simply looking to make the most of your day in Belize, this excursion promises lasting memories and incredible stories to share.
