Interesting Experience

Monkey experience was good, I would recommend wearing a hat as they are like babies and will pee... Great pictures taken. I would say the men are a little aggressive when talking to you or even when trying to purchase items. I will say bring cash because they will make you stop at the locals to spend money before each major stop. We learned about the coffee and the history of chocolate which was also cool and interesting. The experience is a long day so please be ready for that. Make sure to wear gym shoes.

Best staff - amazing experience

This was by far the most satisfying excursion, just amazing all around From our bus guide Gary (Gabriel) who was exceptional, welcoming, kind, funny, knowledgeable- gosh simply the best Our driver Luis was also so pleasant Our guides at the park Rudy, an awesome human being, he made the actual experience so fun, great value for your money - you want to meet people like Rudy on these kind of excursions - him and Albert (our photographer) made Monkeyland our favorite time on our family vacation. So patient, so concerned with making sure our experience is what we paid for and more . If you come across an add or something for Monkeyland, don’t think twice. You will not regret it. My family and I have memories to last a lifetime and pictures - countless ones to look back and reminisce on this really awesome tour
