Departure Point

Traveler pickup is offered
We can arrange meeting points for almost anywhere in the area. If you do not see your hotel on the list and you are staying at Bavaro, Punta Cana, Macao, Uvero Alto, Cortecito, Cabeza de Toro or its surroundings, we can definitely arrange a meeting point to pick you up.

A brightly painted safari vehicle picks you up in the early morning at your Bavaro or Punta Cana hotel. Get to know your local guide on the way to a typical Dominican country plantation. 

Meet the local famers and hear about their organic farming methods, used to cultivate cinnamon, cacao, coffee, and vanilla. Taste coffee or hot chocolate, and take advantage of the opportunity to purchase some of these straight-from-the-source products to take home. 

Climb back in your jeep and ascend a mountain road deep into the jungle. Arrive at Monkeyland, a 5-acre (2-hectare) squirrel monkey habitat managed by a dedicated couple. Follow your guide on a guided tour of the sanctuary, where you have the chance to watch and feed the monkeys. Visit the botanical garden, featuring native trees, plants and flowers, before boarding your jeep for transport back to your hotel at the end of your tour.

An Experience to Remember!!

This was awesome!! The tour guides were knowledgeable and friendly. The experience in itself was amazing. The monkeys were gentle. I was so nervous but after the first few times the monkeys jumped on me, I got used to it. We did this excursion for my boyfriend's 25th birthday and it was the best way to bring it in. Also transportation was provided and our tour guide on the bus was funny and informative. I would suggest everyone do this excursion!

My family and I had a great time! This was a great experience and the workers were amazing. I thought my daughter would be scared but she was actually the bravest of everyone, excited and happy to see the monkeys and really enjoyed herself. While some people were screaming and running from the monkeys jumping on their heads. I would definitely book this experience again. They took covid-19 precautions serious and that was a plus for me! A lot of people take it as a joke but they were really hands on about face covering, small groups and sanitizing.

Excellent overall experience. Lots of monkeys that were everywhere. Plenty to go around. Would recommend going at least once. Thought it would be more of a kid's trip but most our group was adults.

Monkey land is a good 40-60 minute drive from the resorts. Transport was on an open air vehicle. Bumpy ride but not unbearable. Plantation tour was interesting but not riveting for kids. They showed us how cocoa, coffee, and coconut products were made. QEnded with a sales pitch to buy products. Monkeys were the hilight of the visit. 20-30 minute interacting with them. Visitors were given bowls of fruit and monkeys swarmed to get food. Monkeys were well behaved. We weren’t allowed to pet them and they pretty much ignored us except to get the fruit. My biggest complaint is that our concierge tried multiple times to Confirm our pick up time for the morning of the excursion. Tour company was too busy or didn’t answer the phone. Finally at 6:30 pm the evening prior to thee excursion, Viator emailed us with a pick up time. We were concerned!

Basically it's a 2-3 hour sales pitch to try and flog coffee and chocolate and then you get to see monkeys which is the only reason anyone goes there. Bizarre experience where 2 seperate members of the tour got into a fight around the monkeys... Both members were allowed to continue which didn't seem fair especially as there are families present. To top it off, instead of dropping us straight back to our hotel we had to wait by side of road for 20 minutes for members of another tour to join us. This was not communicated to us at all. The only reason it gets one star is because of the monkeys

Prior to our visit I read all of the reviews talking about how soft and adorable the monkeys were, and it somehow surpassed all of our expectations. The monkeys were incredibly soft and photogenic, and Monkeyland was one of our many highlights of a great trip to Punta Cana.

The visit to Monkeyland was a lot of fun. The spider monkeys jumped on our heads. They were so cute especially the babies. The next part of the tour was to a coffee and cacao plantation. My companion and I were not prepared to climb a long staircase with no rails to get to the presentation. I was helped by other tourists. This is not a tour for disabled people.
