Ancient Maya City of Tikal

Deep in the rainforest lies one of the most spectacular of all Maya sites in Mesoamerica. Tikal is in the Peten department of Guatemala, about 1.5 hours from Belize's western border. Located within the Maya Biosphere Reserve, the flora and fauna in this area is almost as breathtaking as the Maya temples themselves.

The original city of Tikal covered an area of 35 square miles. Although archaeologists have been excavating the site since the 1930's, there is at least another 100 years of work to be done. On this trip you will visit many of the temples at the site, learn fascinating Maya history and immerse yourself in a spectacular jungle setting teeming with wildlife. Note: given the distance, this long tour involves a lot of time in a van.

Everything surpassed our expectations. We came here as new diver because we wanted an operation we could trust and we found that here.

This was the perfect getaway and reunion with best friends. The access to both Diving and Tours cannot be matched

Wonderful warm staff, excellent guides, variety of inland tours, very comfortable rooms

Hamanasi helped introduce my family to the Garifuna & Maya people of Belize. Everything is so close – the mountains, caves, waterfalls, animals, ruins – this is such a peaceful country with rich culture and a people that cares about the environment. What a hidden gem! Thank you!

This is my 6th Belize dive adventure in the past 18 years and my best ALL around experience.

Overall, great experience! Staff made you feel extremely welcome and tended to your every need. Tours gave you a taste of Belize and the resort gave you a taste of heaven!

Just keep doing what you’re doing… The Mayan tour history was incredible; the guide was extremely knowledgeable and profoundly connected to his heritage.

I’ve been to quite a few dive resorts. Hamanasi is hands down, the best so far. Thank you for a wonderful time.

Room beautifully decorated and clean! The entire staff was extremely helpful & courteous. Food was the best! Tour guides extremely knowledgeable!
