Hanging out with monkeys...recommend...super fun!! - Our family of 4 - mom, dad, 12-year-old, and 15-year-old - loved the monkeys!! It was the best excursion we took on our cruise. Delmis and Diego were awesome guides...knowledgeable and friendly!

Great! - Great activity, lots of interactions with monkeys, Raphier and Albert guides were great! We loved it!!

#drGo4it - Had a great high energy experience going to monkeyland and cigar factory booked through Royal Carribean excursions and run by Runners Adventures. The guide, Orelvi was fantastic. Driver, Juan Eusebio kept us safe and the air conditioning on the clean motor coach was refreshing along with the cold bottled water bottles. The staff at monkeyland were great and no shortage of photo opportunities and pics. Loved it. Great for adults, teens and kids. Get to try and hear process of coffee making, chocolate and try an alcoholic beverage for adults.

Mokeyland and City Tour - We loved our tour to monkeyland and the city tour! We would definitely recommend this to others. Delmis and Diego were awesome. We loved them as much as we did the tour.

Monkeys and Dominican Culture - We had the best excursion! We loved the monkeys! Our tour guide Matttias and our driver Alex were amazing! Alex even helped push me in my wheelchair. They were very knowledgeable and proud of their country. After playing with the monkeys we got to see how coffee and momaguna was made and tasted it. We would absolutely do this excursion again!

Interacting with the squirrel monkeys was amazing, and our guide was the best! - Nilo was an amazing guide! Very funny and engaging. Also very knowledgeable about the Dominican Republic. I highly recommend this tour and Nilo specifically. Demitrio was our driver and was excellent. Interacting with the monkeys was so much fun!

Excellent experience! - Visiting Monkeyland was a unique experience that we thoroughly enjoyed. We had the added benefit of experiencing Dominican culture through an interactive presentation and visiting an open-air market with products created by local artisans. The whole day was delightful and I highly recommend it to other travelers.

Fun with the Monkeys. - We actually had a combo excursion from Royal Caribbean cruise lines. We did the Puerto Plata City Tour and Monkeyland. It was a fun experience. My 8 year old granddaughter had a blast with the squirrel monkeys. I highly recommend this trip.

Monkey Time with Sweets and Stones - This was on my bucket list and I can mark it off. The monkeys always bring smiles and laughs to all. They are such adorable creatures. For photos, you have better interactions by standing and not sitting. The coffee, chocolate and whiskey tastings were great. Bernie and Flor were fantastic and the stop at the museum was a treat. Handmade items were great!

Unauthentic - Absolutely terrible, most unauthentic experience ever. There was no real interaction with the monkeys and it felt like it was all for a photo opportunity, of which you had to pay for at the end. We were led into a habitat with a ton of people and little to no space, sat on benches to have a singular seed placed on our head for the monkeys to eat and “interact with us.” Plus minus 10 second interaction. They came around again with some fruits, but only kept the monkeys with you long enough for a few photos. Since we were a huge group, people travelling in 2s had almost no time with the monkeys compared to the families and groups of 4+. It was really disappointing and all lasted a whopping 35 minutes. The worst part was how they tried to stretch out the “half day aka 4 hour excursion” with coffee, and a stop at a factory. It really wasn’t worth the money. If you want to see monkeys like we did- don’t support this, the monkeys had no real “habitat.” Rather spend your money somewhere worthwhile on an experience that can last a lifetime.
