What are people saying about Placencia

Snorkeling at Silk and Moho Caye

Briana_M, Mar 2026

Great tour, food and vibes

Me and her friend went on this trip and it was awesome. They are very communicated and they make sure you’re safe the whole trip. Carlos was the best. He got great footage of a lobster on my GoPro. The staff are very funny and make you feel comfortable. They took us to. Moho beach, silk caye; and we even got to swim with nurse sharks, stingrays and turtles. The boat wasn’t crowded. The tour is actually about 6 to 7 hours. I would highly recommend to anyone who is traveling to Belize to do this tour.

Awesome tour

We really enjoyed our trip. The snorkeling was awesome and the tour guys were fantastic. We definitely recommend this tour. You can bring your own equipment, but we used theirs, and it worked really well. We had a six-year-old with us, and he really enjoyed the experience as well. They helped to make sure that he was safe and had a fun time snorkeling.

Monkey River Wildlife Encounters and Manatee Watch

Mary_B, Feb 2026

Enjoyable Boat Journey

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.

Easy nature day and some tubing

The tours in Belize are great but the tour guide really helps set them apart. Here i will describe the tour and then how the tour guide was. Overall, we would recommend this as an easy day for adventurous people or families with small kids. The tour consisted of lunch, transportation (we were on the placencia penisula) and the fees. The tour was relaxing as you had a short, not very intense hike to the water and got to tube in the river. The waterfall was beautiful and you were able to swim around. The tubing and water experience was easy and allowed you to really soak in nature. Now for our tour guide, we had Edgar and its hard to BELIZE it but he was energetic, cheerful and accommodating even though I had food poisoning. He supported my partner in pointing out all of the birds and was dynamic to our needs as I had food poisoning from the night before. He got us lunch, pointed out history and really worked to make it as good as possible

Un-Belize-able Day

The un-Belize-able Edgar was our tour guide and he is the most knowledgeable and just best guide ever! He knew all sorts of great things about the ruins, the culture, animals, the country it was just such an informative and learning day! Best money spent the entire trip. And the restaurant he took us to Benny's Kitchen was the best food.

One of the must do tours in Belize!

Excellent tour! While the weather wasn’t on our side today tour guides still made sure we had an amazing experience! We saw so many types of fish, some sharks, swam in the beautiful sea and had a great lunch! Our guides knew so much and taught us way more than I ever expected!

Monkey River & Manatee Watch

Diana_B, May 2025

Wonderful tour!

Captain Jak's tour guides were very friendly & knowledgeable. Delicious lunch! We saw the howler monkeys close up, heard them growl (really vs howl) loudly! Saw manatees, crocodiles, bats, birds, & leaf-cutter ants. Had a great time. Thx! Only issue was they should communicate pick-up times better...told us via Viator app that event started at 8am with hotel pick-up 30-60 minutes prior; fortunately our concierge was familiar with Jak's and was able to confirm the night before that pickup was at 8:45am.
