seahunters2000 Posted October 3, 2010 #2 Share Posted October 3, 2010 My DD is crazy about Monkeys:p Where is the best place to see them (not at the zoo I mean). We will be in Belize with Carnival's Triumph this coming December;) Thanks!;) My wife & I did the tour to the Lamanai Ruins & we saw lots of Howler monkeys in the jungle crashing throuh the tree tops. It was quick though, we spotted a group of about 5 monkeys and they were gone in a couple of minutes. On the trip up the New River on the way to the ruins we saw tons of exotic birds,bats & 3 good size crocs. This is a great tour for checking out wildlife in it's natural state. My friend did a Carnival cruise but he said they did not offer the Lamanai Tour. You will have to book this independently through a private tour company in Belize. I saw this tour for $75. I think we paid $95 through the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdowns9 Posted October 3, 2010 #3 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Find a tour that includes the Baboon Sanctuary http://www.howlermonkeys.org/, We also saw Howlers when we went to Lamanai but they were up really high in the tree's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaw5293 Posted October 9, 2010 #4 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Take a Victor Bodden tour....he does a great job of touring the area and has a stop at his house where you can play with the monkeys and hold them. They are in a cage but you get in the cage with them. Just did the tour in August and had a great time. Forgot the cost since my sister actually set up the tour. But I'm sure if you research Victor Bodden tours you here on cruise critic you can find out the information you are wanting. Jane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zounds Posted October 9, 2010 #5 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Ditto to wdowns9. We plan to go to the baboon sanctuary in Dec. I think jaw 5293 is confused. V.Bodden tours are in Roatan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know of such a tour? Have you been there? I'd appreciate some input, as we're trying to find something to do there. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdowns9 Posted October 11, 2010 #8 Share Posted October 11, 2010 This should help. Send them an email with your phone number and they will call you back....http://www.ncqadventuretours.com/baboon.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be in Belize with Carnival's Triumph this coming December;) Thanks!;) Well, my first recommendation would have been the zoo, but you seem to eliminated that choice. My second recommendation would be the mirror. My third recommendation would be the local school. I have not been to Belize. However, that itinerary also stops in Rotan, where these pictures were taken ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
