Being one of Belize’s first river tours, this top-rated experience is a great way to spot an abundance of wildlife. From start to finish you can expect to see a variety of flora and fauna. A local guide leads the slow journey upriver, pointing out crocodiles, iguanas, monkeys, river turtles, and varying species of birds. A short jungle hike provides a 90% chance of a close encounter with howler monkeys. Afterward, enjoy lunch in the village. The tour then heads back to Placencia, but not before stopping to look for Manatees in their natural habitat.
