Monkey River Boat & Jungle Tour

Trade island views for jungle sounds on this immersive half-day tour from Ray Caye to the lush southern coast of Belize. The Monkey River Tour is a guest favorite—offering a mix of wildlife encounters, river cruising, rainforest hiking, and local culture.

Your adventure begins with a scenic boat ride across the Caribbean Sea to Monkey River Village, where you’ll meet your local guide. From there, cruise upriver into a maze of mangroves and jungle, keeping an eye out for crocodiles, iguanas, manatees, and countless tropical birds. You’ll likely hear the black howler monkeys before you see them—their deep, echoing calls are a signature of the area.

Once inland, take a short guided hike into the rainforest. Learn about Belize’s unique plant life, traditional medicinal uses, and the importance of protecting this fragile ecosystem. The trail is gentle and easy to navigate, making it accessible for most guests.

After your jungle exploration, enjoy a traditional Belizean lunch in Monkey River Village before heading back to Ray Caye—refreshed, inspired, and maybe a little muddy.
