Horseback Riding

Banana Bank Lodge & Jungle Horseback Adventures. The largest equestrian operator in this part of Belize is Banana Bank Lodge, off the George Price Highway near Belmopan. Run by John Carr, a former Montana cowboy and rodeo rider, Banana Bank has more than 90 horses, mostly quarter horses, a large round-pen riding arena, stables, and miles of jungle trails on a 4,000-acre ranch. They offer occasional agricultural tours that introduce visiting farmers or others interested in agriculture to Mennonite and other farm operations in Belize. A two-hour ride costs BZ$120, and a four- to five-hour ride is BZ$180. A full-day jungle ride is BZ$200 per person and includes lunch. Night rides and horseback riding packages are also available.
