Awful and not value for money

The squirrel monkeys are cute but the lead up to seeing them is awful. They make you sit for 90 minutes listening to rubbish about the products they produce on the plantation. It’s all a cheap way of getting you to buy the products of which are out of date when you purchase them. Even the staff who take you into the monkey enclosure are rude and talk to like school kids. Stand there move here etc. £89 each we paid. For a day of uncomfortable situations. Poor show

Friendly staff, loved the experience, could be better managed

Loved the experience with the monkeys! Didn’t like the fact that it’s not stated at the time of your booking that you will be commuted alongside the zip-liners group and both activities have different durations and the fact that the detailed description of the activities listed on the Viator website because the order of the activities (Monkeys and Cacao plantation) depends on the size of both groups and how the organisers decide to manage the schedule as you get to the mountain.
