The Monkey River and Manatee Experience

The Monkey River and Manatee Experience

The most popular tour out of Placencia takes adventurers on 40-minute boat ride through the mangroves and Caribbean Sea to  the mouth of Monkey River at Monkey River Village.  The gentle ride showcases the diverse wildlife of Belize in all their glory including birds, iguanas, snakes, crocodiles and the stars of the tour - howler monkeys. Swimming is safe and refreshing during sojourns down the river and a native lunch really caps off the day. Manatees abound in the lagoon and sightings are a daily occurrence. 

Most of our Belizean guides were born and raised in the Monkey River Village - a small Creole village of about 200 people that lies on the Southern banks. 

You're headed into the jungle and will be on the water - a perfect combination for mosquitoes and no-see-ums. Bring your sense of adventure, bug spray, swim suite and a camera... you won't want to miss the colors, sights, and sounds of the jungle!

You learn the basic safety guidelines and skills needed to dive under the direct supervision of a PADI Professional. If you make an open water dive, you'll practice a few more skills in shallow water to prepare for your adventure. Get ready to:

  • Go over the scuba equipment you use to dive and how easy it is to move around underwater with your gear.
  • Find out what it's like to breathe underwater.
  • Learn key skills that you'll use during every scuba dive
  • Have fun swimming around and exploring.
