Cave Tubing Paradise en The Howler Monkey Sanctuary
Beschrijving
Het Community Baboon Sanctuary (CBS) is een baanbrekend project op het gebied van vrijwillige basisbehoud. Het doel is om het leefgebied van de Black Howler Monkey (‘baviaan’ in het lokale Creoolse dialect) te behouden en tegelijkertijd de economische ontwikkeling van de deelnemende gemeenschappen te bevorderen. Het resultaat is een innovatief project op het gebied van duurzaam ecotoerisme dat het leefgebied van de bedreigde Black Howler Monkey en andere soorten beschermt, terwijl bezoekers tegelijkertijd een unieke kans krijgen om het regenwoud te ervaren en getuige te zijn van Black Howler Monkeys in het wild.
Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Cave tubing duurt ongeveer 1,5 tot 2 uur om vanaf de site zelf te voltooien. Eenmaal op de site moeten we ongeveer 30 minuten door de jungle lopen voordat we aan onze eigenlijke grottubing beginnen. We drijven dan ongeveer 45 minuten in de grot en nog eens 20 minuten open rivierbuizen totdat we zijn waar we aan de wandeling zijn begonnen. Houd er rekening mee dat de tour een uur rijden van Belize-stad en een uur rijden terug vereist.
Om het bavianenreservaat te bezoeken, duurt het een uur om er te komen, eenmaal daar krijgen we onze gids en hij zal ons meenemen naar de ontmoeting met de brulapen. De tour duurt ongeveer 30 tot 45 minuten. Als we klaar zijn, gaan we naar de grotbuisplaats.

Luis was AMAZING! He picked us straight up from the Caribbean Sprinter terminal. He shared fun facts about Belize. Had a great lunch We saw monkeys and the cave tubing experience was worth it—even had a changing area for a change of dry clothes Highly recommend!
The cave tubing was fun, it’s the second time I’ve done it. Although it’s overpriced, it was still fun to do. The monkey sanctuary only took about 20 minutes so that kind of sucked. But I did get to have a baby monkey sit on my shoulder, which was awesome. And of course customer service was really well.
We loved spending our day in Belize with Cave Tubing Paradise Tours. Sayid picked us up at the Tourism Village and drove my husband and I to the Baboon Sanctuary, it was going to be a hot day and he thought the monkeys would be more active in the morning. The drive out was long, but he was a great conversationalist and explained many things about his country. Once at the Sanctuary, a new tour guide took us on a short walk while we looked for the family of monkeys closest to the sanctuary. We could hear the monkeys before we saw them and then got a little treat, hearing the family all howl together protecting their territory! After the sanctuary, we drove to the caves and were amazed at the beauty!! The water was soooo clear, soooo blue and soooo refreshing! We swam a little, floated a little and Sayid pulled us through the shallower areas, this was one of the top things I have done so far in my travels and cant recommend it more! When in Belize go on a little adventure and have some fun with these guys!!
Guides and drivers very informative and took us to an excellent place for lunch. Was very cognitive of our time frame to return to the ship. The cave tubing was a long walk and the guide was so helpful in going at my pace and helped with carrying my gear and tube.
This was a great experience. Nady was a wonderful guide for cave tubing. She was thoughtful and passionate about Belize. Darrin provided a wonderful tour of the howler monkey sanctuary. He was humorous and we had a very enjoyable time with both guides. Would highly recommend both. Our guide Luis made all of our wish list items happen.
The tour guide Eric was amazing, and the whole experience was great. Anyone who is thinking about doing this should.
Not enough EXPLANATORY words to say how GREAT Neidy Lopez (our tubing guide) was for our eventful trip! During the 30 minute or so walking trip--thru the beautiful rain forest--to the "put in" site, a flash flood occurred. This beautiful, small STRONG lady had a fantastic sense of humor, professional demeanor, and experienced resolve to get us thru the cave! Was an adrenaline trip!! We are very well-nourished people and she pulled us through. . .was absolutely amazing. WE WILL BE BACK!! WE WILL ASK SPECIFICALLY FOR NEIDY. I can't believe we didn't take a pic! The whole outfit was terrific. . .they KNOW what they are doing and it SHOWS! I would give a TEN star if possible. Was the best excursion we had (and we had many other GREAT ones) during our trip to Belize.
I had wonderful experience on this combo tour! Luis is a very punctual, knowledgeable, easy to deal with guide. While driving to our 2 destinations, he gave plenty of information about Belize in general. The sanctuary is a very unique place; I saw the monkeys really up close. Cave tubing is amazing, and Luis made the experience very relaxing. I highly recommend this company!
Luis and his team kicked off our adventures in Belize and without a doubt set us up for a wonderful vacation. He was flexible with us for planning our activities, which included an airport pickup in Belize City, driving to the Sanctuary, then to the Cave Tubing, then taking us to our hotel in San Ignacio. As a tour guide, they were great - friendly, knowledgeable, and generally fun to be around. Our stop at the Sanctuary was lovely, we found and took pictures with howler monkeys minutes after arriving, and also got to learn a lot about the wildlife and nature of Belize while there. Also helped us get some cute photos for the kids. Then through the cave tubing Luis just made it as if it were part of a dream. Other than a short walk through the Mayan jungle, we barely had to lift a finger. He also helped us navigate around some much larger groups so we could still have a quiet and personal experience. Amazing time, and we were going to book a second day with them, but ended up getting lazy at the beach :)
