We visited monkeyland and what a fab day we had even though the heavens opened up and we could only go in the walk way which was a bit disappointing but u cant predict the weather. Wasnt sure what to expect but was great. Theres loads off monkeys and they just climb all over you. Theres a shop to buy soveigners and snacks. Staff are all lovely and very well knowledged in what they do. You can buy photos and there's no pressure on how many. We only purchased 1 as we got loads on our camera. U get to learn how coffee and chocolate is made and even get a taste of the fresh coffee and chocolate. Great morning had by us would recommend

No need to read on, just book this trip and you won’t be disappointed By far the best 5 hours of our 7 -day cruise. Try the Mamajuana.

We were told that due to numbers we would have to be rescheduled for a different day. We rescheduled, and on the day of pick up, we waited for an hour at the agreed upon pick up location. After multiple conversations, we were told that the previous employee that had contacted us to reschedule, had some sort of confusion within the company to get that fully rescheduled. Therefore, no pick up, no tour, and a not so happy customer for their last day at the DR.

Had a private tour. Our tour guide Berny was very knowledgeable and kind. Worked very well with the monkeys. We enjoyed every moment of it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was an incredible experience, we had monkeys on our head, arms, and shoulders with their soft little hands. There was also a tasting of mama Juana, hot chocolate, and coffee which was really good.

My favorite excursion on our 6 port cruise, cannot wait to return to the DR because of how well we were treated on this excursion. Our tour guide Mitiel was so welcoming and made us feel like family. Super informative and just so much fun. On top of the amazing service the monkeys were adorable and we had a perfect amount of time with them. The rest of the tour was so much fun as well my 8 year old wasn't bored at all. Highly recommend! Pictures prices were also reasonable and their process was quick and efficient. If you are debating definitely do it! Thanks for the amazing memories Monkeyland!

Our tour guide Floricel and driver Fredy were the absolute best. Prompt pick, professional, knowledgable, spoke 3 languages and translated throughout the entire tour. You can see the pride as they spoke about the country's natural resources. They were happy and smiling the entire time. If you haven't booked this excursion, I highly recommend them.

What a fun experience!! Highly recommend if you like animals. The monkeys are so surprising soft and gentle. Excellent for kids of all ages and big kids like us too! If you're coming to Puerto Plata then for sure don't miss this experience!!

Flowers and Santos provided a great tour full of fun and educational information. We loved Monkeyland and the Buggie trip we went on.

Junior from the Puerto Plata location made our day! We were so nervous first time coming to DR from carnival cruise line. He was so kind and sweet and very helpful. We are going to book again and hopefully we have Junior again.

Such a great expereice and highly recommend it.Our guide Flower was amazing and so funny. Huge props for the driver Juan too. The drive going for pick up and drops offs can be long but take the opportunity to take in the views of the country side.

Definitely an enjoyable and recommended experience. Wish we could have spent some more time with the monkeys, as they were the highlight.

Tour guide was great (oralbi). very new clean bus for transport, which was much better than the open air truck we were expecting. Would have been nice to be able to walk around in the monkey enclosure for a bit. Was more of a “sit down and we bring the monkeys to you “.

This was an excellent experience. The monkeys are lovely and the guides ensured everyone had chance for the monkeys to interact with them.

A memorable experience with the adorable squirrel monkeys. We had a lot of fun feeding and interacting with the animals and the guides were excellent too. Recommended.

This place is amazing!! Would definitely do it again. Be aware these are real animals and they are unpredictable. They will jump on you and climb on you so if you are not comfortable with that then don't do it. We booked this thru a cruise so the group was large. The host guided the monkeys around the group and made sure everyone had a chance to interact with them. It was a great experience.

If I could give a zero star I would. We booked this excursion in the hopes to interact with monkeys. Instead we spent 4 hours in the city while they pushed us to buy crap in a store then went to monkey land where they then pushed us to buy coffee booze and chocolate. Then our guide said we were running late and would only get a few minutes to “see” the monkeys. I spent a lot of money on that excursion through carnival. On top of that we were brought back to our ship at 2:30. TWO AND A HALF HOURS LATE! kids were hungry and exhausted. They were unapologetic and frankly rude.

Good attraction but more time alone with the monkeys will be good. The guide was running with the food

The most special experience! On top of everything mentioned, when we booked the tour… we also got to sample hot chocolate, hold a parrot and get pictures & video with them. Coffee and hot cocoa was so good, been craving them since we last visited two years ago. We got to spend a substantial amount of time in the monkey cage getting plenty of photos and plenty of videos! Not rushed at all, everyone on site was so kind and happy. We had the best time!!! Santunino and Robert took great care of us, there were so kind! Everyone seemed like family there.

Best excursion!! Floricel, our tour guide and Juan Carlos our driver, were very informative about the culture on the drive to Monkeyland. They were very attentive to everyone on the air conditioned bus and went as far as getting a wheelchair for one of the tourist so they could enjoy the monkey's. They gave us a tour of the house the founder of Monkeyland quarantined himself in, made us coffee, chocolate, and a lesson in mamajuana. I highly recommend Runners Adventure!
