Highlights
- Puerto Plata - Hop on an open-air safari truck and immerse yourself in the Dominican countryside. We begin our day with a visit to Monkey Land. In the tropical jungle, listen to the sounds of nature while keeping an eye out for the cute little squirrel monkeys that abound in this natural environment. Trained staff give you a plate of fruit that you can offer to the monkeys. These cheeky, friendly creatures love shiny objects ‘97 hang on to your belongings or they will relieve you of loose items for later play. This is an awesome opportunity to get up close with these lovable, fun little monkeys.
Head to a typical countryside home, where time has stood still. See and experience how the locals live without running water or electricity. You’ll also learn about the history and culture of this beautiful Caribbean island and discover some traditional customs.

Amazing morning - We visited monkeyland and what a fab day we had even though the heavens opened up and we could only go in the walk way which was a bit disappointing but u cant predict the weather. Wasnt sure what to expect but was great. Theres loads off monkeys and they just climb all over you. Theres a shop to buy soveigners and snacks. Staff are all lovely and very well knowledged in what they do. You can buy photos and there's no pressure on how many. We only purchased 1 as we got loads on our camera. U get to learn how coffee and chocolate is made and even get a taste of the fresh coffee and chocolate. Great morning had by us would recommend

Very good experience - It was an incredible experience, we had monkeys on our head, arms, and shoulders with their soft little hands. There was also a tasting of mama Juana, hot chocolate, and coffee which was really good.

5* So much fun! - My favorite excursion on our 6 port cruise, cannot wait to return to the DR because of how well we were treated on this excursion. Our tour guide Mitiel was so welcoming and made us feel like family. Super informative and just so much fun. On top of the amazing service the monkeys were adorable and we had a perfect amount of time with them. The rest of the tour was so much fun as well my 8 year old wasn't bored at all. Highly recommend! Pictures prices were also reasonable and their process was quick and efficient. If you are debating definitely do it!
Thanks for the amazing memories Monkeyland!

Early Mother's Day Trip - I have always been obsessed with monkeys. Floricel and Freddy made this the best experience. - Our tour guide Floricel and driver Fredy were the absolute best. Prompt pick, professional, knowledgable, spoke 3 languages and translated throughout the entire tour. You can see the pride as they spoke about the country's natural resources. They were happy and smiling the entire time. If you haven't booked this excursion, I highly recommend them.

Best day is our lives!!! - Junior from the Puerto Plata location made our day! We were so nervous first time coming to DR from carnival cruise line. He was so kind and sweet and very helpful.
We are going to book again and hopefully we have Junior again.

Miscommunication of Company - We were told that due to numbers we would have to be rescheduled for a different day. We rescheduled, and on the day of pick up, we waited for an hour at the agreed upon pick up location. After multiple conversations, we were told that the previous employee that had contacted us to reschedule, had some sort of confusion within the company to get that fully rescheduled. Therefore, no pick up, no tour, and a not so happy customer for their last day at the DR.
