The Howler Monkeys were incrediable. Thanks to the Sanctuary for helping them have a place to live free and safe. More

First went out with the Nightime Crocodile Tour. As we were putting canoes in the water, some fishermen were coming out. They had spooked all the big crocs. We could see their eyes but they would submerge as we tried to get a better look. Did see some small ones. Also saw a lot of birds and bats. Some were... More

We used trumpet vine leaves to call down howler monkeys in the wild. Absolutely Amazing. Kim was our host and she was great! More

I was blown away at how close... More

You HAVE to ask for Robert as your guide. He guaranteed a sighting of howler monkeys...& my response was you've taught us so much about the plants already, don't worry about it. Sure enough, 10 min. later, here comes a family of 6 (including a 9 day old baby). I asked Robert if I could touch one & he said... More
