To be a witness and get up close to the Black howler monkeys in their natural habitat is a real treat. A tour of the Community Baboon Sanctuary in Belize is the ideal activity for this incredible experience. This attraction is located about 25 miles west of Belize City in the small rural village of Bermudian Landing. This awesome initiative to protect and conserve the tropical rainforest's loudest creature found in the Belize River valley has become a huge success. Our guests get to walk through trails under the canopy of the rainforest and whilst they seek the presents of the monkeys they get to learn about many medicinal plants and trees use as herbal remedies in rural communities. The capable and knowledgeable site guide at the Sanctuary provides detailed information on the history of the sanctuary at the small museum just before you venture out to view the howler monkeys. 3 1/2 hours total is the duration of this tour including the round trip from Belize City.

Albert from A plus took us here as an alternative to cave tubing since the water was too high and caves closed. We were pleasantly surprised with this tour, Robert was our guide to see the monkeys. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. I had no idea we would actually get to see and interact with the monkeys so close up. Very good experience and Albert was the best tour guide ever. Would definitely recommend this trip and this company.

Albert from A Plus had exemplary communication that stood out from other tour operators. He made the tour that we wanted happen and used his connections to give us a special experience seeing the howler monkeys and so many tropical birds on our private tours at both locations. I had a special request to try the local Garifuna dish Serre and though it was not actually a straightforward thing to make happen, he did and it was the best meal of our trip. Highly recommend Albert and both the Baboon Sanctuary and Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary. Albert’s knowledge and passion for his country also really made the day memorable and gave us a greater sense of connection to Belize. Thank you so much. Definitely arrange tours with A Plus/Albert.
