Our driver was very...

Michael_W, Mar 2026
Our driver was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic but it was a long drive to spend roughly 30 minutes at the preserve. We did see a family of 7 howler monkeys and spent some time feeding them. We got some great pictures.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thanks for sharing. The drive goes through the countryside of central Belize and several rural communities that are part of the Community Baboon Sanctuary. These amazing howler monkeys are found in their natural habitat inside the sanctuary, so it will take a little effort to get to see them. At times, finding these animals could be time-consuming. To see them in this short time is a treat. Our guides ensure that they provide all the details possible regarding the tour. We are pleased to know that you saw the entire family of 7 monkeys and also that you got great pictures. Your review is highly appreciated

Great Experience

Dave_R, Mar 2026
Time spent with the howler monkeys was great. Didn’t like getting shaken down for an additional $20 for “entrance fee not covered in price already paid”. Was going to give that as tip anyway but seemed shady. Still tipped $30 because experience was unique and authentic.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

We are disappointed to hear that our guests feel as though they have been shaken down while on our tours. We always advised our guest to refer to their tickets or booking information when in doubt about the entrance fees. The tour information clearly indicates that the entrance fees are not included in these attractions. We are pleased to know that you enjoyed your Howler Monkey tour with us. We do not operate a shady business, and we make sure that all this very important information regarding what is included and excluded in our tours is clearly posted on the platforms and our website. Thanks for sharing your concerns; it's highly appreciated.

Outstanding and personalized!

Martha_K, Mar 2026
Fabulous experience with a guide and just the two of us. Guide was knowledgeable about plants and everything about the island. We got to feed the howler monkeys for as long as we wanted.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

We are happy to hear you had a great time doing the howler monkey sanctuary tour with us. I know the energy and vibes in Belize feel island-like. Although we are part of the Caribbean community, our country is located on the mainland of Central America along the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. It's a special treat to come up close to see this amazing wildlife. Thanks for sharing.

Howling

Maximilian_L, Jan 2026
The experience was very fun and educational just little too short and our driver was the best host. Till next one

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Your review is appreciated. I suppose the tour was a little short due to the school children who were also doing the tour. It was my pleasure to have met you and be your tour guide for this experience. We are pleased that you had fun.

Keep your hard earned money

Jasmine_B, Jan 2025
This is not worth the money. You spend a couple of minutes in the woods.... Not only do you pay for the tour, you pay more money when you get there. Save your money folks..

Response from Host, Jan 2025

We appreciate your feedback regarding this tour we offer. Two factors that would cause your short stay in the rainforest could have been the weather conditions or the availability of the howler monkeys in their natural habitat. This tour also provides valuable information about the history of the Sanctuary inside the museum and the usage of some of the plants through the trails that are used as herbal remedies in our country. What's not included in this tour is the entrance fee. This important detail may have been overlooked on the voucher. We apologize for the experience you had doing this tour and we will make every effort to ensure that our guests are well-informed about the activity they purchase. We strive to provide the most memorable Belize experience to our valued customers.
