Being one of Belize’s first river tours, this top-rated tour is a great way to experience an abundance of wildlife sightings. From start to finish you can expect to spot all different types of flora and fauna. A local guide leads the tour slowly upriver pointing out creatures such as crocodiles, iguanas, monkeys, river turtles, and many different species of birds. There’s a small hike into the jungle where there’s a 90% chance of a close encounter with the Howler Monkeys. After the hike, you return downriver to have lunch at the village. The tour then heads back to Placencia, but not before stopping to look for Manatees in their natural habitats.
