Perfect tour for animal lovers! - This tour was amazing and exceeded our expectations! We absolutely loved the monkey encounter, we got to send such a long time with them and the guides there were fabulous. Trying the local coffee and watching them roll cigars was fun. We got to hold birds, guinea pigs, and tortoises. The horseback riding was so fun, the area we rode through was beautiful, and we even got to trot! The lunch was simple and fried, but good. We loved the Dominican rice and beans, yucca, and plantains. We loved seeing the parrots, flamingos, and other animals in the park. Absolutely great excursion and I felt it was a good value for the price!

Very pleasant experience. - Amazing experience with all staff from the moment we boarded transport vehicle with Daniel and Indi. They went and above beyond with their hospitality and warm welcome. We enjoyed the monkeys, coffee, cacao, lunch and gift shop. We didn’t do the horse back riding or zip lining so we requested to be taken to the beach sooner than the group to enjoy more beach time and the driver(Daniel) and Indi made it possible to take us there (we tipped extra$)☺️ they even stopped on a vendor stand where we picked up fresh coconuts and mangoes to enjoy 😋 I definitely recommend booking.
