You will be picked up in Placencia and head to Xunantunich with a local guide. The site was a major ceremonial center for the ancient Maya and it was the first Mayan site in Belize ... moreto be open to the public in 1954. From the top of Xunantunich, you will get a spectacular panoramic view of the Cayo District and across the border in Guatemala.
Getting to Xunantunich includes riding a hand-cranked ferry to cross the majestic Mopan River.
After exploring Xunantunich and having lunch ( not included in the price), you will head to the Belize Caves. This is where you start with a hike through the exotic rainforest to the mouth of the cave. The view is stunning as you float away from the cave entrance to your inner tube with only your headlamp to lead the way.
Afterward, you will return to your hotel.
Wildlife Sightseeing with Manatee Spotting
About 40 minutes south of Placencia is Monkey River Village a small village at the mouth of Monkey River. This community was once a thriving ... moretown where the banana trade was centered, now still home to a small number of families. You will head out from Placencia with one of the guides from the village.
Along the way, you will pass through some mangrove tunnels. Once at the mouth of the Monkey River, you will head up the river cruising slowly as the guides point out various animals and insects of interest.
There are many species of birds, minute bats, sunbathing iguanas, turtles, and sometimes even crocodiles. Eventually, you will stop at a trail, whichever one is the favorite of your guide. He will then lead you along the trail pointing out other items of interest while looking for the elusive howler monkey. These guys are small but so loud that they can be heard from miles away, most times you get to see them. When done with the trail if the river level is suitable you will be able to take a swim and then cruise back to the village for some locally prepared lunch.
After lunch, indulge in a chat with friendly villagers or head home. On the way back, we stop at a local habitat area and look out for the West Indian Manatee. They are very shy but oftentimes you can get a good view of them. From there it's back to your resort to relax for the remainder of the day.
In the Gladden Spit Silk Cayes Marine Reserve, there are 3 small islands called the Silk (or Queen) Cayes. Around these islands and in the reserve one can snorkel for days and not ... moreget bored, but there is one spot in particular that we like to call Turtle Alley. Here huge loggerhead turtles come up to stare you in the face, stingrays zoom by and nurse sharks cruise around the bottom, all safe and harmless unless provoked. These critters hang out in the area waiting for scraps of food which is, most time the unwanted parts of lobsters, fish, and conch, that fishermen catch and clean in the area. They toss the scraps in the water and it makes for a yummy dinner for the critters.
The tour starts in Placencia Village at our private dock. Here you will meet up with your boat crew, get checked in and fitted with gear, we load up on the boat which we already prepped and ready to go after the captain gives a safety briefing. The boat ride is about an hour out to sea. After the boat ride we get ashore at the southernmost Silk Cayes, and meet the park ranger as he gives us a briefing about the history and the dos and don'ts of the park system. Your snorkel guides then step in and share about the first snorkeling adventure that will be around the island for about an hour. Once done you get to enjoy a beach lunch which is usually a beach BBQ. Then we relax on the beach a bit and let the tummies settle. When the group is ready we get in the boat and do a boat snorkel around a patch reef which will lead up to the area we call "Turtle Alley." Here is where you get to meet the fun critters, LoggerHead Turtles, Nurse Sharks, Stingrays, and Eagle Rays. We enjoy some encounters with them and then get onboard the boat via a provided ladder. When everyone is accounted for we head on back to Placencia as we reminisce on the day of adventure.
Relax as you’ve never relaxed before! Belize is famous for its laid-back attitude, and Placencia is the perfect place to celebrate it. Everything on the peninsula is calm and ... morestress-free, from the breeze in the coconut palms to the waves lazily lapping the shore.
