nursegrrl8 Posted October 4, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I don't see any ship excursions that mention them. I'd love to see/hear them. Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happycruisers1011 Posted October 6, 2014 #2 Share Posted October 6, 2014 When we visited Xunantunich a few years ago we got to experience the Howler Monkeys. If you never heard them before it can be a little startling. Especially if your mind wonders. (Way to much sci-fi ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmagee Posted October 7, 2014 #3 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Look for a tour with the above title. That is what it was called several years ago. Even though it was not a sanctuary and they are not baboons. None the less we did take a long drive on a bus into the country and we did see and hear lots of howler monkeys. Also some of the other local flora which was very interesting. The sound is not a howl. More like a roar. I said it sounded like someone dragging a manhole cover down the street. Just very unreal when you see the creature making it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdowns9 Posted October 7, 2014 #4 Share Posted October 7, 2014 We toured the sanctuary and got some local fruits to feed the howlers. They came out of the trees with their kids and we feed them from out hands. They are really noisy and just playful kids. We had a private tour and went there along with Altun Ha.
