The monkeys were soooo light and cute. I love the fact that they’re well taken care of and the staff were knowledgeable. I would have liked more time with the monkeys but it was worth it and the view was breathtaking..

Not worth the money and waiting
Nasya_H
, May 2022
This trip as a whole was not worth it. In general: poor organization, a lot of waiting, dirty jokes, vast groups of ppl (it felt more like a zoo). The coffee/cacao info was vague and it was in a hurry (10 min). The coffee and cacao tasting was more like a selling pitch, rather than an experience (also 10 min). Sometimes we had to wait without any info. You have to pay 5$ for a locker/or leave your belongings without supervision. Taking your own picture wasn't easy, because the moment you could do that (when they put some food on you) their photographer was taking over you, expecting you to get their pictures at the end. The monkeys were the only positive experience (30 min) from this whole day. In general 1 hour of activities and 5 hours of traveling and waiting.

It was 5 of us and we had a good time. Our tour guide Chris Sexy Papi 6 was so funny but thorough on what we would see and learn. The monkeys were so cute and greedy. The tour was really educational as to how they make chocolate, etc. The coconut oil products are really good and their hot chocolate was fantastic. We would definitely do this again.

Hands down, one of the most incredible trips we have even been on. The interactive monkey experience was incredible and made my partners week. The guides are funny, entertaining and knowledgeable. You learn loads, get to sample local produce and have the option to buy, but no hard sales pushy reps. 10 out of 10, would highly recommend it.

Monkeys were great… drive was not!
CRYSTAL_R
, May 2022
The good…. The monkeys are beyond worth this experience. You get multiple interactions and all of the workers (including transport guys - Jesus) were wonderful. The tour through the jungle and presentation about cocoa beans albeit interesting, we could have done without. The bad… be prepared for a very long day. We were the first to be picked up in Cap Cana at 1:30 and the last to be dropped off at 7:15. It took two hours to make it from Monkeyland to our resort after all the stops. Essentially, 3-4 hours on the bus and the remaining time at the excursion. On the fence as to if I’d do this excursion again. Monkeys were great, but six hours away from the resort and so much time spent on the bus was not my favorite.
