Here’s an adventure thats paramount, the monkey river tour;official the number one tour for wildlife from Placencia.

With a 99% chance of seeing the howler monkeys,with other possible jungle animals in their natural habitat. On the way there and back you’ll travel the lagoon and mangrove corridors where manatees graze in the shallow waters,the crocodiles lurk on the mangrove edges and hikiti turtles love to lay on fallen trees or on old logs soaking up the sun,while the exotic birds just chill or go about their business. 

With under an hour boat ride from Placencia docks to the monkey river estuary and village,your skilled captain/guide/navigator will take you down the coast from Placencia then up into the monkey river to a designated spot, there you’ll all get out and hike a bit into the jungle.

After you’ve gotten enough pictures, laughter and information while seeing the howler monkeys for yourself,

Your guide will then take you back to the village at the estuary for an enjoyable Belizean lunch before heading back to placencia. Remember to be on the lookout for manatees!
