Lots of time with the monkeys
This is a wonderful tour. We had so much fun! We got at least a half an hour with the monkeys but also saw birds, guinea pigs, Capyabara, and turtles, as well as lots of nature including coffee bean trees and cocoa beans. We got to sample both of those. There is a professional photographer that takes some photos while you are in with the monkeys but you are allowed to use your phone as much as youd like and the nice part is that there is zero pressure to purchase. However once you see them you will want to and they are very inexpensive. I cant wait to go back and do this again with my family that had to miss. Thank you guys so much!!

Enjoyable tour, relaxed atmosphere and of course the monkeys are so cute and just make you happy. The amount of time with the monkeys feels like a good amount.

Best Excursion with Enma & Ivo
The highlight of our cruise was our private escorted tour with Ivo Paul with Enma Tours. He was a safe driver with indepth knowledge, well spoken, appropriately dressed and very professional. We have already started planning to bring our grandsons. Not only did Ivo provide us a wonderful experience, he also took some pics, gave us an interesting educational overview in of the area, and checked on us after returning from our cruise. I cannot stress how much better it is to have a private tour with Enma & Ivo tours enmatours.com and much less expensive. These local tour guides know the cruise ship schedule and the pier guidelines better than you. They are reliable and exceptional. This particular monkey sanctuary also has an array of other animals, an amazing lady making the hot chocolate and coffee the old fashioned way, a sweet little treat shop with jewelry and other knock knacks. I highly recommend the chocolate balls and other local candies!!! Spend the day here if you can. It's just wonderful. Thanks to Ivo for an amazing port call excursion.
