What you'll see and do
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.

Amazing ATV trip, even better than we hoped for!
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!

Belize Tour
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.

Altun Ha with Miss Melanie
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.
via Tripadvisor
Lots of fun, Melanie is great.
Our tour guide was Melanie, We were in a group of only 7 people. Melanie was great and knowledgeable, I would recommend her any day. Entire drive, tour, lunch and drive back were great. Highly recommended. Melanie will make sure you enjoy it and have fun visiting Belize.

Altun Ha and Belize City Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Belize City.
How much does Altun Ha and Belize City Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $165 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Belize City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Altun Ha and Belize City Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Belize City is not rushed.
Is Altun Ha and Belize City Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Belize City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Altun Ha and Belize City Tour?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Altun Ha and Belize City Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Altun Ha and Belize City Tour?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Belize City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Belize City and add a light layer if any part of the 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Altun Ha and Belize City Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Belize City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Belize City?
+
On Outty we rank every Belize City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cave Tubing and Zipline Adventure from Belize City, Caves River Kayaking, Explore More with V.i.V., Altun Ha Mayan Ruins & Cave Tubing Tour with Belizean Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Belize City?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Belize City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

Included: Professional guide; All taxes, fees and handling charges; Meals as per itinerary (B = breakfast, L = lunch, D = dinner); Round-trip shared transfer; and Transport by air-conditioned minivan. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
