This experience is very... - This experience is very educational. You learn a lot about the monkeys they have here in Mexico. All one must do is listen and watch. It is beautiful.

Great time! - OMG!!!!! The ATV was sooo much fun! It rained a day before we got there so there was soo many mud puddles which made the entire ATV ride worth it! The Monkey Sanctuary was great too! Our guide was very helpful and knowledgeable by giving us the background on how the animals came to them and what was done to rescue them back to health. We had no idea about the history especially the Macaw birds. My only suggestion is if you want to experience the Monkey bonding, pay for it before the activities begin. We must’ve gotten there late because we had to quickly register and sit with the group so I wasn’t able to pay for that at the time of check in., so we missed out on that but everything else was amazing! I highly recommend it!

The sanctuary animals Are so sweet and the monkey bonding experience is out of this world. One in a lifetime to interact with a monkey. The ATV ride was super fun (had a 12 yr old and 15 yr old with us) and the cenote swim with a perfect was to refresh. The only downside was the food. The food at the end of the tour, though appreciated since we were hungry, wasn’t very good.

Amazing Experience but DO NOT book through trip advisor - This was a 10/10 experience. The guides were amazing, the ATV riding was awesome and the experience with the monkeys was unforgettable. IMPORTANT TO NOTE: do NOT book this experience on trip advisor. They charged me $60 more on here than it costs at the location. You can also book it directly through their website. This is totally unacceptable on trip advisors part. When I reached out to Trip Advisor (multiple attempts) i received no correspondence. It's one thing to charge a fee, its another thing to rip the customer off

Do Not Book With this Company - This company is a scam. Under no circumstances should anyone book with them, especially if you are on a cruise ship. They claim they will pick you up but are actually over 3 hours from the Port and cannot pick you up. They just just take your money and refuse refund. I have booked multiple excursions through viator without issue. This has by far been my worst experience EVER.

Horrendous Experience - The whole experience was a mess. My ATV ended up malfunctioning, most likely it was engine failure because the engine light turned off and the ATV stopped making that vibration noise. I ended up crashing into the side of the road while I was going down a rocky hill. The staff showed no remorse and no compassion. I was driven back to their office and was forced to sign a no refund release form and they made me fill out the form twice because they didn't like what I wrote. Very unsettling and horrendous experience. Wouldn't recommend this one! What a shame for the animals, hopefully they get treated well. Oh, and they lied to Viator because they don't want to give a partial refund. Apparently, I was a danger to others on the tour. If I was a danger to others, why did they let me complete my whole tour? Makes no sense whatsoever. All lies and fraud ! R U N !!!!
