Altun Ha

We got our tickets through the Margaritaville Excursions. The trip was on time and as promised. The trip team was David, Willy (the cop), Shelly and Luther (the driver). This was my second trip to Altun Ha. This team was very knowledgable in regards to vegetation, ancient Mayan peoples and rituals. I highly recommend this excursion. The people with stalls at this area also deserve support by buying their wares.

pretty place but the tour guide scammed us bad, and got aggressive. if you come here just pay the entrance and not get a tour guide, if you do make sure they have a set price to “pay them” even though it’s more of a forced tip.. would’ve had no problem paying them in the first place if they had mentioned a price or whatsoever ,but the original guide we had, had to leave but the new one ended up trying to get the drivers to pay her. Not sure where everything went wrong , and not sure why she approached me when I was alone sitting down instead of obviously going to my boyfriend that she was calling “the boss” really pretty place, tour guides are sketchy tho, unless you want the good history then ask them how much you’ll be having pay them, or else they won’t say anything and get aggressive at the end of the tour.

Very well preserved Mayan city. We visited on ac cruise excursion, and it was not overcrowded even with multiple tours going on. Our guide led us around the area explaining the purpose for each temple and giving us an idea of what life was like here. You are able to climb to the top of several of the pyramids. We climbed up the Temple of Sun God, which was the tallest. The stairs are very steep, and it was raining while we were there so the stone was slippery, but the climb was well worth the views. Altún Ha is the closest Mayan ruins to the Belize City cruise port, so I highly recommend if you are wanting a quicker excursion.

This place blew my mind. It was deeply meaningful for me. What made it for me was my type guide, George. I plan on returning and I'm only using George as guide. So knowledgeable and was so real, like we were friends for years. Very rare connection.

I always love visiting Mayan ruins. Although they are not on the scale of Chichen Itza, they are quite interesting. There is a museum adjacent to the ruins with a replica of the largest piece of jade ever found in Mayan Ruins, a jade head that was found at Altun Ha.

Gilroy was our guide, very knowledgeable and soft spoken, allowed us to ask questions. Amil was our driver and he was the best

Awesome place, very hot when we were there in May. Love that you can climb up to the top.

This was my first ever Mayan ruins visit and I didn't know what to expect. When you first walk onto the site, it's a breath taking view of ancient culture and architecture. I really enjoyed the visit and highly recommend it. It's very easy to access, you can climb up two of the monuments, and it's exceptionally well kept.
