The experience was the right fit for so many reasons. It was more than just a monkey interaction experience it was the opportunity to learn more about the DR culture and traditions. The amount of time spent at the location was perfect for a getaway off the cruise for a few hours and doesn’t take the entire day away from the cruising experience.
Everything was amazing! Definitely worth the price. I was a bit nervous since we didn’t go through the cruise line, but everything was incredible.
Absolutely incredible! Would absolutely do it again. Wady was so kind and knowledgeable!
Very good tour... Guido very knowledgeable... would do it again!
Tamares was an awesome guide. From start to finish he was so accommodating, never rushing us. So knowledgeable about the area and just an all around great guy.. The van was immaculate and a comfortable ride. The price was so reasonable for the experience we got. And the amount of time we got with the monkeys far exceeded our expectations. Don't think about it. Just book it!!
Tamales was an excellent guide! Very friendly and knowledgeable.
Thank you for your kind words! We're delighted to hear that Tamares made your experience so enjoyable. His friendliness and knowledge truly make a difference, and we’ll be sure to share your compliments with him. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again soon!
