A great experience with monkey's and learning.

The experience was a lot of fun. I enjoyed seeing the monkeys and learning about them. Jack our tour guide did a good job of explaining things and telling story's to keep things fun and interesting. He is very charismatic and knowledgeable. I feel that the cost is a very fair price for the experience. The local food we had after added to the trip for sure.

Tour with tourguide Booky

It is a long trip to get to the island. But you have time with the monkeys, croccodiles and you will have a boat trip. Put on some comfortable clothes and shoes.

Monkey and Crocodiles with tour guide Booky

Great tour with a lot to see of the nature and animals. We also had the chance to feed the monkeys and crocodiles! But be careful with your icecream, the monkeys likes it too! 😉 Booky was our tour guide and a really helpful and relaxed guy. Liked his personality a lot!
