Our guide was the Monkey River, King... The one and only boat-driving Howler Monkey man himself... Percy His knowledge and animated self were just as entertaining as the wildlife and the river itself.... Then we went to find the manatees... And we were quite successful in finding and getting photos of 4 of them... All in all, it was a fantastic trip.... I can see how with a lesser guide it wouldn't have been nearly as much fun or enjoyable
Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re really pleased to hear that you had such an enjoyable day exploring Monkey River and searching for manatees. Percy will be especially happy to hear your kind words. His knowledge of the river, wildlife, and local area, along with his entertaining personality, makes him a wonderful guide. And finding four manatees was certainly a great bonus—and hopefully you came away with some memorable photos! Thank you for choosing Splash for your Monkey River adventure. We hope to see you again on your next visit to Belize.
We were picked up from our condo and driven to splash dive. Warmly greeted and introduced to Junior, our guide. He was very friendly and knew all the names of the various birds & mammals we saw. We saw howler monkeys; numerous different species of birds, crocodile and a few manatees too. Fantastic day out, highly recommended.
We had a wonderful tour with Junior! He was incredibly knowledgeable about local animals and plants. We saw so many different species and it was truly a highlight of the trip!

Our captain was Junior, picked us up right on time. Had a great trip up to Monkey River, ordered food at Alice’s restaurant, headed up river, Junior did a great job pointing out the local plants and animals along the way. Got to see manatees, several bird species, crocodile, leaf cutter ants, howler monkeys and back to Alice’s for a delicious meal. Then headed back to Placencia with a couple stops to see more manatees on the way. We all had a great time. Would definitely recommend.8
Thank you for sharing your experience with Splash Dive Center on Viator. We are very happy to hear you had such an enjoyable day on the Monkey River tour with Junior. A smooth, on-time pickup and a relaxed run up the coast and into the river always set the tone for the day, and it’s great to know he helped bring the surroundings to life by pointing out the plants and wildlife along the way. Seeing manatees, howler monkeys, crocodiles, birdlife, and even leaf cutter ants in one trip in their natural surroundings makes for a full and memorable outing. We’re also pleased you enjoyed your stop at Alice’s — it’s a special part of the Monkey River experience. Thank you for your recommendation. We appreciate you choosing to explore with us and hope to welcome you back for another adventure on the water in the future.
It was a fabulous day to Monkey Town and up Monkey River. Splash Dive Center took us on an educational boat ride, where we saw so many animals and learned about them & the local plants and their many uses (often medicinal). We took a hike in the rain forest and heard the howler monkeys, along with many birds. The other people on the boat with us were photographers, so we stopped lots to enjoy watching the animals. We also saw a crocodile, manatee, turtles, and so many types of birds. It was a very memorable day! Highly recommend!
Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review of your Monkey River Wildlife Encounters & Manatee Watch tour with us. We are very pleased to hear that you had such a memorable day exploring Monkey River. It’s always rewarding to know our guests enjoyed not only spotting wildlife — from howler monkeys and crocodiles to manatees and turtles — but also learning about the rainforest ecosystem and the traditional uses of local plants. We’re especially glad the pace of the tour allowed time for photography and quiet wildlife observation. Monkey River offers such a rich and dynamic environment, and taking those extra moments often makes all the difference. Thank you again for your recommendation.

It sounds like you had a fantastic range of sightings — from birds and howler monkeys to crocodiles, bats, and even manatees on the way back. That combination truly makes for a memorable river experience. We’re also glad you enjoyed lunch at Alice’s; it’s always a special stop along the way. We appreciate your kind words about Junior and your recommendation. Thank you for choosing Splash Dive Center, and we hope to welcome you back to Belize for another adventure in the future.
This was an awesome tour Our Guide was extremely knowledgeable. Would highly recommend to anyone. Saw a lot of birds. The Howler monkeys were lazy in the top of tree tops. I was raining, it was understandable. Did see the manatees on the way back. That was a bonus. They tour company did a great job. The lunch was also tasty.
Mary, thank you so much for your kind review! I am really happy to hear you had an awesome day on our Monkey River tour. Even with a little rain, it sounds like nature still delivered! The howler monkeys do tend to lounge high in the treetops during wet weather — conserving energy and staying dry — but we’re glad you were still able to observe them in their natural habitat. And spotting manatees on the way back is always a special bonus! Those moments never get old. We truly appreciate your comments about your guide’s knowledge. Our team takes great pride in sharing the wildlife, ecology, and stories of the river in a way that makes the experience meaningful and memorable. We’re also happy you enjoyed the lunch — a tasty Belizean meal is the perfect way to round out a day on the water. Thank you for the recommendation and for choosing to explore with us. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
