The country has the most important amber deposits in the world; moreover, blue, green or warm honey colours are unique from this area due to its volcanic activity. Here, you can discover the history of this vegetal-origin precious stone. One of the most important stones of this museum is a 40cm lizard conserved inside a piece of amber. This resin can hold prehistoric fossils of plants and little animals on its inside due to its sticky nature, that turns this stone in subject of study. It is said that Steven Spielberg was inspired by this museum when he was working on his famous film Jurassic Park.

Wonderful experience with Rafael!

Great day with Rafael! He took us to see the monkeys at Monkey Home, there they show you their plantations, how they make cigars, tasting coffee and chocolate and the interaction with the monkeys was great. Rafael was a great guide throughout the day, he speaks 6 different languages and is extremely kind. Thank you to him for this beautiful day we spent.

Great Time at Monkey Land

This excursion was great. Rafeal was our tour guide and he exceeded our expectations. He even took me to the pharmacy to get medication for my allergies 🫶🏽. Once we arrived at Monkey land Chandler was such a great host and worked so well with the monkeys. They were well behaved, and gentle. I definitely recommend this excursion to anyone looking for a fun time.

We really enjoyed this excursion. Nestor was a great guide & was very knowledgeable. He made sure we did all the things we wanted to do & offered to take our pictures wherever we went. Our kids loved the monkey encounter. Everyone was so kind and the monkeys were great. We had a hiccup with getting the pictures we purchased, but customer service from this company moved quickly when we mentioned our disappointent & we had our pictures within a few hours. We definitely recommend! :)

Operator response

e truly appreciate your understanding regarding the picture delivery and are happy we could resolve it quickly for you. Your recommendation means the world to us, and we’d be honored to welcome you again on your next visit to the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴

Don't Quite Get What You Pay For

Went with family & really enjoyed our guide, but there were lots of gnats in the van & we never revived a water or soda like the ticket said. We loved the monkeys but w got talked into buying the pictures they took, paid cash for a 'deal' & never received our pictures. We were told we'd receive a link to a Dropbox (never received) so we emailed them & they said they would resend. Didn't receive so they said they'd send it via another app. We installed it, waited, reached out & nothing. Enjoy the experience - don't buy the pictures (& definitely not with cash). I reached out to chat with Viator customer support but they couldn't tell me the name of the monkey place we went so I could leave a review or how to get in touch with them. That was also disappointing. I'd double triple check everything before booking with Viator again. :/

Operator response

We are sorry to hear your comment, we apologize for the inconvenience with the water and soda, as for the photos please provide us an email for sending the pictures, we will contact the supplier of the overalls directly, or please write to WhatsApp at this number +1 809-841-0876
