Placencia Lagoon Wildlife & Mangrove

This is your opportunity to explore amazing saltwater mangrove estuaries, encounter wildlife and learn about the flora and fauna from a local nature guide. Board your sightseeing motor launch directly from the Harvest Caye Marina and set off to explore Mother Nature's amazing saltwater mangrove estuaries and encounter some of its inhabitants. Your experienced Captain will take you through the protected waters of a lagoon and chart a course towards one of the shallow areas favored by manatees. This is a great opportunity for a close-up encounter with these large yet docile marine creatures. More often than not, manatees may be viewed grazing and relaxing. Your knowledgeable nature guide will provide you with a detailed narrative about the manatees and their life cycle in the tropical waters of Belize. As your tranquil sightseeing tour continues traveling along the shore of the picturesque lagoon, your Captain will enter one of the many mangrove estuaries. As the passage narrows, your guide will point-out numerous species of flora and fauna, ranging from marine life, to aquatic plants and trees. The estuary is home to many species of birds and at times, wildlife that that live on the tropical savannahs might be spotted - you never know what you might encounter. All too soon, you’ll find yourself back at the Harvest Cay Marina where your enjoyable nature tour draws to a close. Hopefully, you’ll have plenty of memories and beautiful photos to share with your family and friends.
