Such a great experience from the moment I stepped into the bus that they provided for us. All of the tour guides were so kind and spoke all kinds of languages. So no problem with translating. Ziplining was so much fun and definitely better than I expected. Monkeyland was also so beautiful and awesome. Super worth the price. And would love to go back as many times as I can. Definitely recommend for everyone !!

EMI_N, Jan 2024

It was 10+hours of tours, and about half of the time(2.5hours each way) were just for stopping at other hotels to pick up other guests. The logistics was really badly designed. Full of the guests were packed in the open air truck, not comfortable at all for the long ride. Tour itself wasn’t bad, the tour guide and the driver and all other staff were kind and tried to provide us good time, however the long ride ruined everything.

Kind of blah

Pamela_L, Dec 2023

The monkeys were amazing ('cause when are monkeys not??), but the experience was lacking as you are only allowed to sit and not really interact in any way...the ziplining was...ziplining...the area was pretty clear-cut, so you were ziplining over trenches, basically, not jungle or forests as we presumed

Monkeys and zip lines were awesome!

RANDY_F, Oct 2023

The squirrel monkeys were the highlight of the trip. We got to feed them and have them climb all over us multiple times and it was a blast. Our guides on the zip lines were funny and there are a few decent lines but make sure you wear comfortable shorts, Otherwise the harness might hurt. We also got to see some hot cocoa and coffee-making demonstrations and got to see some native homes. The Buffet style lunch had some really good chicken and rice.

Amazing

Tonja_F, Jul 2023

The zip lining was great, lunch after was fabulous and monkeyland was amazing!! So glad we booked this excursion, definitely recommend!!

SO FUN!

Darryl_J, Jul 2023

This visit was SO MUCH FUN! We were allowed into the spider monkey enclosure, where we sat down and were given food to feed the monkeys. They also tossed sunflower seeds in our laps and on our heads, and we were swarmed by monkeys, sometimes with four or five on us at a time. The monkeys were adorable, and we could have spent hours here without getting tired of them. The ziplines were okay, we've done lines that were much higher and faster, but we had fun. One novelty occurred when one of the lines wasn't steep enough for you to reach the end of the line and a guy on a horse came galloping out of nowhere and grabbed my foot to take me to the end. So ziplines were nothing special, but the monkeys more than made up for it!

SUCH A GREAT VALUE FOR ALL THATS INCLUDED!

Jordyn_E, Jun 2023

We got plenty of time with the Monkeys! They we SO CUTE! I didn't want to go to the demonstration but it ended up being my friends fabirite part! She loved the hot cocoa that was made from Cacao. We enjoyed the ziplining and the staff. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. The best part? LUNCH WAS INCLUDED in the price! This was such a fun day and its worth it to add on ziplining to Monkeyland. We still go back to our resort with plenty of time in the day to swim at the beach and in the pools. I'd go again in a heartbeat!

Trash!!!

Cheryl_K, Apr 2023

The original pick up time was 7:15. Then I received and email from runners adventures stating they would get to the hotel at 8:30. We get there at 8:15 to be told they left. We called and we had to show proof of an email THEY SENT!!! Needless to say didn’t get to go and still waiting on my MONEY!

Great monkey tour.

Richard_U, Apr 2023

Was great time at monkey world. The tour and facilities were amazing. Such good interaction with monkeys. Zip line was disappointing. I was too heavy and not allowed to go. Was stated on site at booking. My wife and I ended up waiting till others returned.

Fun way to spend a day

Elinor_S, Feb 2023

The experience was fun and the monkeys adorable however I don’t like that they are trying to domestic animals- they had a wild parrot there that they domesticating and had barbed wire on the top of the enclosures. The photos available were expensive and charged each group differently. The printer quality was not good. They need to ensure that this stays like a sanctuary vs a tourist trap The zip line was fun and very physically challenging to get to, the guides were nice and the zip line was well organized. It should be noted that this excursion is physically challenging

Awesome excursion !!!!

Maxime_M, Jan 2023

Very nice activity !!!! The monkeys are too beautiful and funny. We had a lot of fun for the zipline. Prepare a snack, the activity lasts almost 8 hours. You can leave your bags inside the van. the door is locked during activities.

Great Trip

Edith_B, Mar 2019

This was a great trip but I wish I knew in advance that I would have to hike up a huge mountain to zip line and would have to climb up a lot of steps after the monkey jungle. This is not the excursion for someone who is not in good shape. The staff was great and the experience was a lot of fun. The other negative was that it was about a three hour drive from the hotel pickup to the attraction, we stopped at about five other hotels to pick up other guest.

Bryan C, Aug 2017

This was a great day out! An early pick up by runners adventures from the hotel at 7.15am and back by 2pm. Water was provided and coke with a cheeky splash of local rum for the trip back!. Very well organised and the ziplines were great. The 3rd one of 7 is the fastest and best and the scenery is stunning. The guides led by Usher ! were very safety conscious but good fun. The monkey jungle was fantastic. Dara an Irish zoologist led us down past the peacocks and rabbits sprawled out on the steps and gave a history of the place and loads of information on the squirrel monkeys and capuchins. You get to feed the squirrel monkeys who are very cute and jump onto your shoulders and head to try and get some of the banana pieces and peanuts. Well worth the money and an added bonus is that the profits go to the medical unit providing free medical and dental care to the locals.

I'll start with the one negative...

Karen W, Jun 2017

I'll start with the one negative which is as compared to other zip line courses, this one was ok. there were plenty of them which was great but a couple were a little short. That being said, the guides were fantastic and the longer runs were great. Also, the opportunity to feed squirrel monkeys and check out some of the other wildlife in the sanctuary were not only unique but truly amazing. My kids and their friends could not say enough and haven't stopped talking about it. This is a great experience and allows you to support an awesome company that is providing other services to the island.

Overall it was a great trip. Monkey Jungle staff were very impressive. For the amount paid for the excursion and the length of the trip, lunch should be included.
