Altun Ha is fairly difficult to reach independently (though it can be done in a day from Belize City) as the 3km track to the site is located along the Old Northern Highway - turn off the Northern Highway at mile 18.

There are buses (Mon-Sat) from Belize City to the village of Maskall, passing the turn-off to the site at the village of Lucky Strike (community phone 021/2017), 3km from Altun Ha, but you'll probably have to walk in from here. Any travel agent in Belize City will arrange a tour and increasing numbers visit as part of a day-trip from San Pedro.

There's no accommodation at the site, but you can ask the caretaker for permission to camp.
