Price match and Czech reviews before booking something with the monkey sanctuary.

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.

Percy was an excellent...

Percy was an excellent tour guide. He was knowledgeable of Belizean culture and history. The black howler monkeys were a great experience and the man who showed us around the preserve was also very friendly.

Belize relaxing float and baboons

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.

Awesome day in Belize!

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!!
