Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary is located about 90 minutes from Belize Jungle Masters. Keep in mind that the best time to see the most birds is early morning or late afternoon, so getting started early is important. Once at the sanctuary you will be introduce to a well-trained bird guide who will elaborate more on the tour. Eventually everyone climbs aboard a small boat and slowly floats down the river spotting different species of birds or animals.

We highly recommend this tour and genuinely believe that this experience could provide a renewed passion and appreciation for nature and the many wonders it could provide for our enjoyment.
