We were able to try the hot chocolates and it was very delicious. Next, you were guided into one of the habitats by the monkey trainer, Miguel, he was able to invite the monkeys to jump to our hands and heads.

We got to shop around local shops in Puerto Plata and sample some Mama Juana. But of course, the best part of the experience had to be the monkeys at Monkeyland! They made sure we got photos taken by them but also allowed us to take our own with our phones which is incredible compared to a lot of other excursions I’ve done. Overall an amazing experience and highly recommend going.Written January 9, 2025

This excursion was sooooo fun and by far the highlight of my trip!!!
Frank is phenomenal at his job and really makes everyone feel comfortable and excited for each adventure. Extremely knowledgeable about the Dominican Republic and was able to answer any questions we had with a big beautiful friendly smile!!
Ziplining was really gorgeous zipping through the beautiful greenery. The monkeys were SOOOOO CUTE and friendly. They would run and jump all over the place and at one point I had about 8 on me! I wish I was able to sneak one in my pocket on the way out 😉.
If possible, I recommend booking this excursion with the best guide Frank he will ensure you have the time of your life and you won’t be disappointed. I would definitely recommend booking this and would go back again and again.
Thanks for the memories!

This excursion was the highlight of our trip. We were welcomed onto the bus by Frank - our guide for the entire excursion & he immediately makes you feel like family. He is very knowledgeable about his country and shares stories to make things relatable. We started off on a buggy tour which was really cool. The buggies were in great shape and the tour through rivers and the countryside was a really great experience. Then we jumped & slid down 7 waterfalls. The guides are very knowledgeable, patient and helpful. Super funny too. Next we went to Monkeyland - a must do if you are an animal lover. Christopher takes you into a caged area full of spider monkeys & proceeds to tell you all about the monkeys while handing you bowls of food to have the monkeys come to you. Even in a big group of 20 people, everyone got their chance for a photo with the monkeys. Overall it was a fantastic day, definitely something you should consider if it's an excursion offered to you.

I only did the Monkeyland tour, I didn't expect to like the Dominican country house segment but it turned out to be extremely interesting & fun. They also let you sample some local Dominican flavors, including delicious Dominican coffee. The Monkey adventure is a blast and is non stop smiles. Our tour guide Raul made the experience memorable, he was funny and entertaining while telling the history of the DR & making the whole experience a good time. Everyone involved with monkeyland is awesome!

My friends and I paid for the three for one excursion where we were able to drive ATVs, hike, swim and best of all hang out with Monkeys. It was truly worth every penny and more. We had the most AMAZING guide by the name of Frank De La Cruz and Aris! We felt so blessed to have gotten them. They made our entire trip! Frank was the most cheerful and kind person we have met all vacation. I had a situation in which i was really scared and he helped me every step of the way and just made it a remarkable experience! Julio was a great driver and very sweet. Thank you to all of them for such an amazing experience! I would recommend it anytime! Youd be crazy not to do it. Thank you!!

Orbis was our tour guide for the vacation. He made everyone laugh and was a very fun tour guide. Highly recommend doing the monkey land adventure. You can have monkeys sit all over you and take pictures! One of the zip lines takes about 45 seconds to complete and you can use your phone as well! Highly recommend

I went on an all-day excursion with 3 friends and it was worth every penny. The dune buggies were cool, we went through a little jungle and also down some streets and saw how the locals live. The waterfalls were super exciting-we got to jump off a few of them and slide down some as well. My legs were like jello from jumping but it was thrilling. The monkey jungle was adorable. They put the group inside a closed off area with over 20 little monkeys and they climbed and jumped on us and we fed them and pet them. The guide, Frank, was excellent. He was very nice, charming, and looked out for us every step of the way. Our driver Diego was very attentive to the passengers on the tour bus and very friendly. I would recommend the excursion to everyone.

My family and I went on this excursion and we all had lots of fun. Even the ones that didn't want to go ziplining. They stayed back as the rest of the group went ziplining and they got to interact with an iguana, flamingos, and a few different sizes of parrots. After ziplining was done we got to spend time with squirrel monkeys and monkey land pop and it was a wonderful experience, and Emely was wonderful. Our tour guide, Sexy Frank, was amazing he was always cracking us up with jokes so funny I am almost positive that i have an 8 pack of abs. He was super sweet and always had a smile on his face. When someone had a question about the Dominican Republic he was always willing to answer. I would definitely recommend going on the monkey ziplining excursion, and if you can try to get Sexy Frank as your tour guide.

We had a great time on our trips. Julio and Juan Carlo hosted a great trip. Julio was a great guide. He was able to share interesting information about the island and the area we were in as well. He was very friendly which made the experience that much better. He didn't pressure us to buy anything that we didn't feel we needed which is a major plus. On other excursions I've been on, people have been quite pushy. They bought made sure we arrived safely and on time and made sure our valuables were safe which was very comforting. The monkey adventure was outstanding, far exceeded our expectations. The amount of time you got to interact with them was longer than most other activities of that type. The ziplining was fun as well but certainly made for those who have less experience as the lines are not as long, high, or fast as more experienced people would be accustomed to. Nonetheless, our children who had never been very much enjoyed themselves.
To summarize, this was very well worth the money. I would hope that if you do decide to go, you have the pleasure of experiencing it with Julio and Juan Carlo.

It is either in or near Sousa. It was less than an hour from Puerta Plata, with our transportation stopping at other hotels. If you go to book this, they should be able to tell you if they pick up from your hotel or not. I felt 100% safe going on the excursion.
