A half hour fun boat ride through the mangroves takes you to Monkey River village where you head upriver into pristine rain forest. Expect to see crocodiles, huge iguanas on tree branches sunning themselves, turtles, and many species of tropical birds. Upriver, your licensed guide will lead you into the rain forest in search of howler monkeys. Nothing you read could prepare you for the adventure of hearing these monkeys for the first time...you just have to experience it! On this mellow hike, your guide will also point out the different plants and trees many of which are used as medicine by local bush doctors. As your hike through the jungle further from the river you may spot gibnuts (now known as royal rat since Queen Elizabeth dined on it), deer, ocelots, peccaries, tapirs, coatimundis and agoutis.

Buy a genuine Kriol lunch at Miss Alice’s restaurant in Monkey River before heading out on a manatee watch on the way back to Placencia.

This was amazing!!!! A highlight of our trip! Junior was incredibly knowledgeable about Monkey River and we saw great wildlife. We had a delicious local lunch and were able to shop at local vendors in the village. Bring some bug spray and wear solid shoes for the hike — Definitely recommend!

Nice half day trip. We saw plenty of amazing animals and our guide was informative and nice. The hike is pretty short and easy but slippery. I would recommend better footwear than flip flops
This was a very nice day....

This was a very nice day. Beautiful scenic boat ride to monkey river village. We saw lots of birds, turtles, crocodiles, and bats. A shorter boat ride got us to the hiking spot. (Wear real shoes and maybe long pants for this. And have bug spray. It’s intense. A few of us wore sandals and ants bit our feet!) We got a good view of howler monkeys and heard their amazing calls. Lunch at monkey river village was pleasant. $18USD for 2 meals and 2 coca colas. On the boat ride back we had a brief glimpse of a manatee. Junior and Robert were very knowledgeable and friendly and fun. Entering and leaving the boat was tricky, but doable.
Amazing experience

Wonderful experience. I had done this tour just 3 weeks earlier with another operator. Hands down this was the best experience. Make sure you do dress appropriately and use big spray! Amazing wildlife viewing. I live in Belize and this was my first time seeing Manatees. Will absolutely do this tour again. Thanks Splash dive centre for the wonderful care
Monkeys, crocodiles, and manatee…

Our guide Junior delivered, not only the big three in the title but he knew every tree and plant, not just name but scientific designation, history, ecosystem importance and so on. He's also funny and gracious. Our meal at Alice’s restaurant was excellent traditional Belizean fare. The. Splash Dive Shop staff were awesome and we coukd have chatted with Patricia the owner all day. Highly recommend this experience.

Monkey River is a great fun and educational experience. Birds, crocodile, manatees. And, of course, howler monkeys!
Really Good Tour, provides a great alternative to the marine tours for something different.

This was a fun tour. We saw a lot of Monkeys. We saw a lot of birds. Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information with us about the local trees, plants and wildlife. Zipping through the mangroves was very fun too, it really added to the trip. We didnt get to see any manatees this time, but that is how it goes with animals in the wild, next time! I highly recommend this tour, particularly if you are looking for a down day, or a day away from the beaches nad cayes to do something different. Our tour guide was great, very flexible, attentive to what we were interested in and changed things up a little bit to ensure we had a good time.
To do absolutely

Nice excursion. We had the chance to see crocodiles, iguanas, pelicans. Then during the jungle walk, a tarantula, a boa and about 20 screaming monkeys. Their noise is very impressive. I really recommend putting on closed shoes and pants. The guide was great and the food in the village delicious.
