Experience the perfect blend of Belize’s incredible wildlife and underground natural wonders with Nelson Maya Adventures on our exciting Cave Tubing & Baboon Sanctuary Combo Tour! This adventure combines an opportunity to encounter Belize’s famous black howler monkeys with an unforgettable journey through the mysterious limestone caves of Nohoch Che’en Caves Branch Archaeological Reserve.
Begin your adventure at the Baboon Sanctuary, located in Bermudian Landing in the Belize River Valley. Despite its name, the sanctuary is best known for protecting Belize’s black howler monkeys, locally called “baboons.” Accompanied by a knowledgeable local guide, explore the community’s natural surroundings while learning about these fascinating primates, their behavior, and their important role in the local ecosystem. Listen for their distinctive howls echoing through the trees and, with a little luck, observe them resting or moving through the branches. You’ll also discover how local communities work together to protect these remarkable animals and preserve their natural habitat.
After your wildlife experience, continue to Nohoch Che’en Caves Branch Archaeological Reserve for an exciting cave tubing adventure. Begin with an approximately 20-minute hike through the tropical rainforest, surrounded by lush vegetation and the sounds of nature. Once you reach the river, prepare for your journey with your life vest, headlamp, and inner tube.
Float along the refreshing Caves Branch River and enter an extraordinary underground world of limestone caves. Your headlamp illuminates impressive stalactites, stalagmites, rock formations, and hidden chambers formed over thousands of years. As you drift through the caves, learn about their natural history and their significance to the ancient Maya, who regarded caves as sacred places connected to the underworld.
The cave tubing portion typically takes approximately 1½ hours, offering time to relax on the river while appreciating the beauty and mystery of Belize’s cave system.
From observing fascinating wildlife in its natural habitat to floating through ancient limestone caves, this combination tour offers a memorable way to experience Belize’s biodiversity, rainforest scenery, and natural wonders in one day.
