The following day, a lovely boat ride on calm waters brings you to the remote village of Monkey river at the entrance to the Monkey River. Order your lunch and then set off upstream as the guide points out the numerous wildlife before taking you on a jungle tour to get up close and personal with howler monkeys. On the way back stop for lunch in Monkey River village and then spot some Manatees feeding in the shallow water before heading back to Placencia village. Spend your evening at leisure in the same hotel.

Your last day in Placienda is left free for you. Enjoy the day at leisure on the beach or explore the village of Placencia with it’s many bars, coffee shops and restaurants and famous for having the narrowest high street in the world – recently it was made wider and presently 1.2 m (4 foot wide)!

Your first day in the area is a day at leisure but perhaps you will go fishing on the barrier reef or deep sea fishing, diving, snorkelling, kayakking or just relax on the beach. Your resort tour desk can assist in arranging any of these or additional touring options. 

The following day, you will be snorkeling on the second longest barrier in the world on two prime sites in the protected Hol Chan National Park.
