Overview

What sets this experience apart is the unique combination of close, guided monkey interactions and genuine Dominican cultural immersion.
You’ll not only feed playful squirrel monkeys in a natural environment—you’ll also discover the island’s heritage through visits to coffee, cacao, tobacco, and mamajuana plantations. Depending on the version of the tour, you can enjoy hands-on activities like milking a cow, feeding parakeets, exploring local factories, or refreshing yourself in a cenote.
This tour blends nature, culture, education, and adventure, offering far more than a typical animal encounter and giving travelers a truly authentic taste of the Dominican Republic.
