Best interactive tour with monkeys! - It is a bit of a drive from Jaco area but totally worth it if you want to see capuchins up close and personal! They will pick you up drive you to the monkey house (which literally is behind someone’s house at end of road). There you will be educated on the local area and the monkeys while you spend time feeding them as they hop from shoulder to shoulder of the people in your group. Everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed our time there! Afterwards, it’s off to a souvenir stop, crocodile spotting from the bridge, followed by a fantastic typical Costa Rican lunch. Great way to spend half a day while you’re here, highly recommend!

Monkey house - The tour out to the monkey house ended up being amazing! We got to interact with a lot of monkeys!! Just be aware it is located literally behind someone’s house. It was a little shocking when we first pulled up. But we had the best time when we got back there. Also our driver did not speak English. Luckily my husband is fluent in Spanish so he was able to translate for us. Overall I would definitely recommend if you are wanting to enjoy monkeys!

Highly recommend!! (but don't wear white lol) - What a great experience! The monkeys are so cute and friendly. They climb and jump all over you. I love that they live wild and we just get to visit them. The interaction is amazing. Our guide, Josue, was friendly and knowledgeable and the lunch spot we visited is one of my favorites in Jaco. Pro tip though - do not wear white! Haha. Fruit juice and monkey paws will be on you.

The Monkey House and Josue! - First thing, Josue was an AMAZING and knowledgeable tour guide! We went first to see the Capuchin monkeys in THEIR habitat, what an experience! They’re in the wild but a small family cares for them and keeps their habitat safe. The monkeys will jump on you but they’re gentle and only looking for a banana which was provided to us to feed them! This was my favorite part of our whole trip to Costa Rica! We then went to the bridge overlooking the crocodile area. We saw two Crocs but because of the recent rain they weren’t very visible. No biggie for us because we honestly came for the monkeys and authentic lunch cuisine! The third leg of our trip we went to get souvenirs from a local shop. They had a big variety and we were able to get what we wanted for our family back home. Next was the lunch! OMG, it was SOOOO good! Huge portions and the peach tea and fresh juice, *chefs kiss*! We had tilapia in a garlic sauce, gallo pinto, and eggs. Also on the side was homemade salsa and a liquid seasoning that was really good! Josie also took us to get Caldosa from a very small vendor and it was also really really good! We would’ve gone to see the sloths (something you have to arrange with him) but we ran out of time before our next excursion, not their fault AT ALL, we just planned things a little too close together :() I give this tour and Josue a 10/10! Amazing experience that I would definitely do again when we come back! Thanks Josue for a wonderful trip! Pura Vida!

Monkeys! Fantastic - Monkeys are awesome! Our guide Josue was friendly, spoke good English, and told us a great deal about Costa Rica. The monkey experience was even better than I thought it would be. They are a tribe of wild monkeys in the jungle, but a woman near by protects them. So they are friendly to (allowed) tourists and will happily climb all over you when you feed them (it was crazy). We also went to a restaurant where the locals eat for some authentic cuisine, which was delicious. Can’t recommend the tour and our guide Josue enough. (Driver Ugo was also great, friendly, and professional)

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.

Kapuchin Monkey Experience - The monkeys are very friendly and interactive. The surrounding setting was rather unkempt. Overall, a nice experience!
