Immerse yourself in Dominican culture and nature with the Monkeyland + Café + Cacao Adventure, a unique experience that combines local traditions with close encounters with playful squirrel monkeys. This tour begins with a visit to a typical Dominican farmhouse, where you’ll learn about sustainable living and taste freshly roasted coffee and cocoa. It’s the perfect introduction to the island’s rich agricultural heritage and warm hospitality.
Next, you’ll explore a beautiful botanical garden, discovering native plants and flowers before heading to Monkeyland, where you’ll spend 45 unforgettable minutes interacting with friendly squirrel monkeys. These intelligent animals have been carefully trained by a Canadian couple with 35 years of experience—including 12 years at the Toronto Zoo—to be comfortable around people, making your interaction both safe and delightful. Expect them to pose for photos, climb onto your arms, and charm you with their playful personalities.
Set against a stunning mountain backdrop, this guided adventure takes place across five scenic areas where the monkeys live freely. The tour includes transportation, experienced guides, and water, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience. Please note that this activity is not suitable for pregnant women, people with heart conditions, back problems, mobility issues, or those with colds or flu. For travelers seeking a mix of culture, nature, and wildlife, Monkeyland is an experience you won’t forget.
