From the time we got on the bus sexy papi made us laugh and truly goes above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience. While there we had PJ who also goes out of his way to make sure you have a great experience.

A great excursion. PJ host was humorous and very knowledgeable. A great learning experience. The buggies ride was very adventurous. The creek was great for getting in the water and cooling off. You learn alot about their coco, honey is made. The squirrel monkeys was an awesome experience.

This is the most honest review you will ever read!!

First things first I want to give a huge shout out to PJ. He made our experience absolutely amazing. Incredible. So funny so entertaining. He is the star of the show. PJ WE LOVE YOU!!! Santiago and Henry were our drivers and tour guide, and they were also amazing and very informative.

I want to preface this by saying that I read a lot of mixed reviews, and I am definitely a review person. So Lets start off with Monkeyland. If you want to interact with some cute little squirrel monkeys its so worth it!!! I think people are a little unrealistic when booking these excursions and they forget that there are multiple people booking the same excursion. So if you think you’re gonna get to spend quality time with the squirrel monkeys, you’re wrong. You are obviously in a big group, and the monkeys are trained to go where the food is. I think the tour guides do an exceptional job and making sure everybody gets multiple turns Feeding the monkeys, getting to touch the monkeys and interact with them and also getting good photo ops. The monkeys will naturally gravitate to you sometimes or jump on you. Its really a great experience, but dont have unrealistic expectations coming here that youre going to have one on one time with the monkeys. Its not happening.

In between you’ll visit the casa de coco where they teach you how they make coffee, mamajuana, they feed you some empanadas and a hot dog and some fresh fruit. If you dont want that, bring your own snacks! You’ll also learn how they roll cigars, and again, ive read some out of pocket reviews. Like you arent just waiting in the hot sun doing nothing. Youre learning about the dominican culture. If that bores you, dont go. I personally think its disrespectful to visit another country and be annoyed about learning about their* culture?? Theres nothing they can do about it being hot… youre in DR… visit somewhere cold?! Just being real.

Then you go to the buggies and it is SO fun and SO exciting!! We got lucky cause it rained so we got so wet and muddy. Dont wear white and dont bring clothes you dont care to mess up. And bring a bandana and glasses so you dont get mud all in your mouth and face. Another thing, yes its not offroading and you are behind other people. It is what it is. Again, these are excursions. Theyre guided tours. They have to make sure everyone stays safe. And people dont like to follow directions… so theres that. But I had sooo much fun. Its all about your perspective and how you see things in life. Think good, good will come. Thats how I see life.

Overall, 10/10 excursion, experience. We made friends, had a blast, got muddy, played with some super cute squirrel monkeys, and made some amazing memories. Id recommend to everyone! And one more time PJ WE LOVE YOU!!!

Overall we had a good time. The UTV ride really did not go anywhere. The spider monkey were fantastic. One downer issue: It said we had a 40 minute ride to get there, unfortunately we spent 45 minutes in a van that picked up people from the different resorts before we got to the place to get on the bus for the 40 minute ride to the park. Dominican time...:)

Overall experience was great. The monkeys were so cool to see and have them jump all over you. PJ the atv tour guide was very funny and made sure you understood everything before leaving. They take you on a trail down to a river to swim. They only gave us 10 mins to swim though. I think that was the only downside we would have liked to swim a little longer.

Pros:
The monkey’s are adorable, very gentle and ABSOLUTELY worth going to spend time with
The ATV tour was fun, safe and muddy!!!
Our tour guide PJ was extremely accommodating, funny and kept us all laughing and engaged

Cons: We came from La Romana and the drive is VERY LONG having to stop at each hotel in the area to pick people up. It was extremely disorganized and took about 2 hours
There is a LOT of downtime between seeing the monkeys and doing the ATV tour
A lot of time is wasted just sitting around
I would prefer them to close the gap in time and make it a half day rather than drag it out all day just to be sitting around (I’d rather get back to my hotel and be able to at least enjoy the ocean or pool)

All in all a great experience that I would absolutely recommend and do again.
I think if you keep it he cons in mind ahead of time and don’t have huge expectations, it can be a very enjoyable time

To get to monkey land the driver was late by 45 minutes. Picking us up was over a two hour bus ride to get there with a bus transfer. The little monkeys were cute. They would feed monkeys on top of our heads, which was nice and people that ran the monkey part were nice. Otherwise the rest of the excursion was not worth it at all ATV was maybe good for a 10-year-old. Stopping at this little river that had very little water in it and splashing this little bit of water was a joke. Just got back not worth the money. The lunch was a joke, feeding us hotdog and one piece of fruit.
