UMonkey River Tour & Snorkeling Adventure
Experience the perfect combination of marine exploration and rainforest wildlife on this unforgettable full day adventure.
We normally depart from one of our convenient pickup locations at 8:00 AM, heading out toward the beautiful Bullock Islands and Snake Cayes within the stunning Port Honduras Marine Reserve.
Snorkeling Experience
Our first stop takes you into the crystal clear waters for an exciting snorkeling session. Explore vibrant coral habitats while searching for lobster, conch, and a variety of tropical fish species including butterfly fish, damsel fish, and blue chromis. Many of these species are abundant in this protected marine reserve and less commonly seen in other areas.
After the first snorkeling session, guests can relax on the island or aboard the boat for approximately 30 minutes, enjoying the peaceful surroundings before heading back into the water for a second snorkeling experience.
Lunch at Monkey River
Around 11:00 AM, we make our way to the historic Monkey River Village, where we stop at Alice’s Restaurant for lunch. Enjoy a delicious local meal while taking in the relaxing atmosphere along the riverside.
Monkey River Wildlife Tour
After lunch, we continue with a guided wildlife tour up the Monkey River. Along the way, keep an eye out for howler monkeys, crocodiles, turtles, iguanas, and a wide variety of birds and other wildlife species that call this area home.
Guests will also have the opportunity to explore the broadleaf rainforest, where your guide will point out medicinal plants, native trees, and tropical fruits while sharing insights into the local ecosystem and traditional uses of the forest.
Scenic Coastal Return
Following the river cruise, we head back along the coastline toward Placencia with a chance to spot manatees along the way. We return to the same location where the tour began, arriving approximately between 3:30 PM and 4:00 PM.
Come discover the incredible beauty of Belize’s marine reserve, rainforest, and wildlife all in one unforgettable experience.
