What are people saying about Placencia

Marcia_L, May 2026

Great! And solo-traveler friendly!

Booking solo trips in Belize in April/May can be challenging (there is often a two-person minimum) I was thrilled to easily book with Splash. Solo, with an existing tour. First rate operation from start to finish friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and attentive team. And delicious food! We were well taken care of!

Snorkeling at Silk and Moho Caye

Adrianna_R, Apr 2026

Very knowledgeable...

Very knowledgeable guides! The boat ride was a bit long and rough due to the weather, so be prepared (aka bring a snack). Snorkeling was wonderful, lunch and time exploring Moho Caye-fantastic! While its not a "difficult" adventure, its also not easy. Absolutely recommend!

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.

Cockscomb Wildlife Sanctuary

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

Snorkel the Perfect Tropical Isle Silk Caye with Turtles, Rays and Sharks

Marta_L, Nov 2025

The snorkelling tour was...

The snorkelling tour was amazing. Cant recommend enough. Nice helpful guides showing a lot of reef and fish. Unfortunately we didn’t see turtles. Boat ride is pretty bumpy so be ready for that. Also - bring sunscreen with you. There are three separate snorkelling events during this trip and it’s good to reapply the sunscreen.
