Our first trip was only 5 days so we wanted a little taste of everything for our single trip inland.
We did a combo cave tubing / Xunantunich ruin tour with lunch in San Ignacio. This allowed us to see a little of the local culture and mix it with two smaller trips in the same time it would take to do Lamanai. Lamanai is a better ruin by far, but Xunantunich was great and close to the town of San Ignacio allowing for some real Belizean culture.
Thanks everyone for your feedback. I'm only looking for a day trip so it would seem if I balance cost, time, and class of ruins, my best bet is probably Lamanai.
