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.

What To Expect
Nohoch Che'en Caves Branch Archaeological Reserve
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.
Community Baboon Sanctuary
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.

4.00The 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.
Awesome day in Belize!

5.00We 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!!

5.00Guides 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.
Wonderful introduction to Belize

5.00This 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.
Incredible

5.00Not 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.
Wonderful tour and guide

5.00I 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!
Flexible and friendly tours!

5.00Luis 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 :)
