Lamanai Outpost Lodge

Lamanai Outpost Lodge is one of Belize's premier jungle lodges. The lodge is located on the banks of a 28 mile long spring fed lagoon amid the remnants of a major Maya city.

Unlike many other lodges who all share the same area and attractions, Lamanai Outpost is very much in a world of its own. It is surrounded by an incredible variety of habitats that facilitate unsurpassed nature-based and soft-adventure activities that depart right from your cabaña. Whether you are exploring the Maya ruins or watching nature awaken as the sun rises over Crab-Catcher Lagoon, it is almost guaranteed that it will be just you, your guide and a few friends that you have made at the Outpost.

A sample of some of the standard activities offered in the package price:

Jungle Dawn
Explore the jungle as it awakens. In the company of an expert naturalist guide, you'll learn about the intricacies of a habitat that is home to creatures as diverse as the Jaguar, the impressive Black Howler monkey, the tenacious Jaguarundi and the vividly-colored Keel-Billed toucan.

Sunrise Canoe Excursion
Strike out across the lagoon in exploration of Dawson's Creek and its surrounding flood plains, islands and savannah. Keep an eye out for manatees, otters, crocodiles and endemic parrots to name but a few.

Lamanai Maya Ruins
The ruins of Lamanai encompass over 700 structures with excavations and reconstructions still underway.

Maya Medicine Trail
As the only resource for medicinal aid, indigenous people have long used a wide variety of local plans for their powerful and effective medicinal properties. Unlock the secrets and learn first hand how basic potions and salves are prepared and used to this day in Belize's jungle villages.

Sunset Cocktail Cruise
End the day on the New River Lagoon surrounded by tropical forest and wildlife with a well-stocked cooler and your own personal bartender as you watch the sun disappear below the treetops.

Nature Walk
Enjoy a nice walk around the lodge and reserve to observe nature at work; butterflies, orchids and wildlife.

Spotlight Safari
This exciting adventure gives you the opportunity to encounter anything from the Morelet's crocodile to the elusive and endangered jaguar. Plus, close up views of some of Belize's fascinating river birds as they roost on the water's edge make this a not-to-miss adventure!

Night Walk
Experience the jungle under the evening stars or by the light of the moon. Listen as the owls and bats come out to hunt and gather, and troupes of howler monkeys speak to each other across the canopy. Sounds come from everywhere as many species such as frogs and tarantulas, other mammals and species of birds thrive in the late hour of the evening.

Plus all of our tours include the following premium activities:

Howler Trek
Observe troops of Howler Monkeys as they start the day foraging high in the jungle canopy. Babies cling tightly to their mother's backs under the protective gaze of the dominant male whose call can be heard for miles. Learn about the species' lifestyle, social dynamics and infant rearing practices.

Crocodile Encounter
You will travel by airboat into the floodplains and surrounding waterways where you will observe -and even assist if you wish - as one of our crocodile biologists endeavors to capture, collect data and expand our understanding of the endangered Morelet's crocodile.
