Beautiful Monkey Tour - The monkey tour was truly an incredible experience. Our guides, Carlos and Jose, were professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the monkeys. The monkeys themselves were so gentle and sweet — many even landed on me and approached to be fed. It was heartwarming to see how well cared for they are. They roam freely in their natural habitat and aren’t confined in any way. Watching the mother and baby monkey together was especially touching! The lunch provided was outstanding, and the fresh fruit was delicious. I highly recommend this unforgettable adventure!

Interactive Monkey Experience - 50 minutes from Los Suenos to the monkeys. Josue and Carlos are the absolute best. The monkeys are not caged but live in their natural environment behind a their guardians home. The property is in poor condition by most standards but it didn't change our experience at all. We had a great trip.

Monkey fun recommended! - This tour was incredibly fun and so much more than we had anticipated from the description. Our tour guide, Carlos, was super friendly and informative about the local area, the country and the monkeys. He stopped along the way and bought each of us delicious fresh fruit and a bottle of water. We interacted with the monkeys for about 1 hour, had a photo stop along our way and saw a local beach and shipping port area from the beach side. We then went to see the Tarcoles river where the crocodiles are abundant. All of this was followed by a absolutely delicious lunch in a local restaurant with very friendly staff. Carlos took pictures for us on his phone and provided us with the photos and videos he took. We will absolutely look for him again for a future tour if we ever return to Jaco, Costa Rica. He made the whole experience even more fascinating. This all took about 4 hours and was a perfect half day event!

Do not miss this tour! - This tour was the most memorable and enjoyable part of our trip the tour guides were knowledgeable and ensured everyone was comfortable and well taken care of. The animals were friendly and jumped all over us and ate fruit out of our hands. The croc bridge was fascinating and the food was delicious. Overall, AMAZING!!!

Cute monkeys! - It was a 45-1h drive from Jaco to the monkeys. When we arrived the monkeys where there and they stayed with us for enough time to take photos and feed them. On the way back we saw the crocodiles, stopped at the souvenirs and ate tasty traditional food at Casita de Sabor. The driver and guide were friendly and we could chat about Costa Rica and learn more about the life here.

Up close with monkeys ! - We had a great time with Michael February 2025. They picked us right up the Marriott los suenos at 8am. We loaded our family of 7 into their nice van. We were offered waters and fruit. We took about a 30 minute ride to a locals home where the monkey families live. Michael our guide was very helpful to explain the dynamics of the monkey hierarchies and when to approach the monkeys and when to give them space. We were able to feed the monkeys and some younger ones even hopped on our shoulders. The kids in our group 3 and 6 loved it. Next we took a quick stop at the crocodile bridge we’ve driven over countless times and never stopped because it looked so touristy. But we walked across quickly got to see the crocs which were cool and kept it moving. Then we had an amazing lunch at Arte Restaurant. We had a traditional Costa Rican lunch and it was so simple but really tasty!! Thank you Michael and Carlos!!

Poor value; janky tour - Will and Paul were friendly and flexible to our wishes for the day. But the tour was a waste of money and time for us. They drive you out to essentially someone’s backyard to feed monkeys. By the time we arrived at said backyard, the monkeys were full from other people feeding them, so we only spent a few minutes with monkeys for the whole day. We also got stuck in traffic, so about 3-4 hours of the tour was spent in the tour van. The local cuisine well… just pick a local restaurant and go there. Will just ordered from a restaurant from the van and we stopped and ate there. Not worth the money at all.
