We are work­ing dili­gently on set­ting up a per­ma­nent base of oper­a­tions at Lamanai Out­post’s airstrip, where we intend to offer clients the chance to see these amaz­ing tem­ples and struc­tures from the sky in our Trikes. We also will share in the enjoy­ment of fly­ing low over the marshes and jun­gles sur­round­ing Lamanai, and the new river lagoon, where it is not uncom­mon to see all sorts of wild life, includ­ing all sorts of fresh-water fish, croc­o­diles, and even jaguars.
