Highlights
  • Runners Adventures - We begin the tour with the visit of a typical country house to mingle with Dominicans and learn how to live off the land and their organic products. There, have the opportunity to try roasted coffee and cocoa. Start the second part of the tour coming to our beautiful botanical garden, where you will learn about native plants and flowers of the island.

The next 45 minutes were occupied for a guided tour that allows you to interact in close proximity to our beautiful and friendly squirrel monkeys at Monkeyland. These charming and intelligent monkeys have been formed by a Canadian couple with 35 years of experience working with animals, including 12 years at the Toronto Zoo to teaching monkeys to trust and enjoy the company of humans.

This tour is based on 5 acres of a beautiful piece of land that monkeys have made their home. The monkeys are completely accustomed to human contact. They come down from the trees to sit on your shoulder and eat from your hands. Beware

Little monkeys loves to pose for the cameras and probably will sit, and if allowed, see themselves in your camera. Adorable! Come share an unforgettable experience!

End your day with a delicious typical Dominican lunch.

Family trip. The food is... - Family trip. The food is not included but the advertising is misleading since it’s included on excursions not just for Monkey land.

Fun and educational - The information provided by the tour guide about the Dominican Republic during the trip. The tour guide, George, provided a steady stream of interesting facts about the country, pointed out many camera-friendly sights along the way, and was energetic and attentive to the interests and needs of the tourists.

Description of the site doesn't give what they offered. - The description you offered is wrong. It wasn't full day. It was half of the time they said. In addition no buffet was given. I am very disappointed because they didn't take responsibility saying: "we lied to get more clients." I ask for a refund of the food I didn't get.
