About this experience
The Community Baboon Sanctuary (CBS) is a pioneering project in voluntary grassroots conservation. The goal is to sustain the habitat of the Black Howler Monkey (called ‘baboon’ in the local Creole dialect) while promoting the economic development of the participating communities. The result has been an innovative project in sustainable ecotourism that protects the habitat for the endangered Black Howler Monkey and other species while offering a unique opportunity for visitors to experience the rain forest and witness Black Howler Monkeys in the wild.

Itinerary and highlights
Cave tubing takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours to complete from the site itself once at the site we do have to walk for about 30 mins through the jungle before we start our actual cave tubing. We then float for about 45 mins in the cave and a extra 20 mins of open river tubing until we get where we started the walk. Bear in mind that the tour does requiere an hour drive from Belize city and an hour drive back.
To visit the baboon sanctuary it’s takes an hour to get there, once there we get our guide and he will take us to do the howler monkey encounter. The tour will take us about 30 to 45 mins. Once we are done we then head to the cave tubing site.
