New River and New River Lagoon

Trips up and down the New River and around the New River Lagoon are fun adventures for the entire family, with a chance to see Morelet’s crocodiles and iguanas sunning on a bank. Night safaris can be equally exciting. It’s a chance to see the habits of animals that come out to play only after the sun sets; you’ll need the help of a good guide and a spotlight.

By day you’ll see the sights of verdant jungle and wildlife along the river. Many people combine a river trip with a visit to the ruins of Lamanai. It is the most impressive way to approach the site, and a time-saver as well compared to going by land. Contact any of the guide companies listed in the Lamanai section.
