Get in

There are four main ways to reach Altun Ha.

  • The most expensive way is to visit on a tour from Belize City. However, these tours tend to only run one or two times a week and run upwards of US$100. Your hotel/hostel will usually arrange this for you free of charge.
  • You can cut your price to about US$50 if you take a US$2 bus to Crooked Tree and sign up for a tour there.
  • The easiest and probably most cost effective method to visit Altun Ha is to rent a car and drive out there yourself.
  • Many taxi drivers will drive you out to Altun Ha, wait for 1-2 hours and then drive you back. The cost here depends greatly on which taxi driver you choose. The average cost will be US$50 regardless of the number of people who go. The most reliable drivers are located by the Marina in green and white uniforms. However, if you're on a budget, a regular taxi driver will take you for US$10-20 less.
  • Fees/Permits

    There is a small entrance fee which was BZ$10 as of May 2006.
