Monkey Jungle Dominican Republic

It's a great, fun experience. The guides makes zipline and monkey jungle expeience more fun. They are very friendly. I recommend to do both zipline and monkey Jungle.

If you like animals and want to give something back to the local community then you can't beet this place. Sterling or as he's known there "Monkey Dad" is the best guide. He's been there for 11 yrs and all the monkeys love him!

Had an unforgettable experience at the Monkey Jungle in the Dominican Republic. Despite it being a slow day, my wife and I had an amazing time. The staff was incredibly friendly and engaging, adding to the enjoyment of our visit. The monkeys were an absolute delight to interact with. Highly recommend for a unique and memorable adventure!

Me and my friend went to Dominican Republic for our birthday. We had a rental car and drove to Monkey Jungle. There was no wait there team move fast. Monkey Jungle was one of the places we visited and I was super excited and had so much fun. The team of skilled workers are phenomenal. They were friendly, attentive, knowledgeable & fun. They ensure we had the best time ever 🥰. The monkey encounter was my favorite. You know how you go some places and they limit the time you can play with the monkey this place doesn’t, they allow you to just enjoy the encounter 🤗. Than we went zip lining after we played with the monkeys and after zip lining I was allow to go back and play with the monkeys omg I was so excited. This excitement made my birthday trip one for the books. The Monkey Jungle also give back to the community with free dental & health care needs because of the donations we give to them by soliciting their business. So not only do you have fun but a percentage of the tickets sells go back into helping the Dominic Republic community. It’s a win win for everyone. I will visit again. Thanks again to the wonderful staff for allowing me & my friend to have an amazing birthday experience.

I had an incredible time with the squirrel monkeys. That was so much more than I could have hoped for. I also did the zip line and it was a blast. The surprise was cool too. Evin and Starling were to notch guides on the zip!

A really great experience ... despite the advanced age. If you have kids, you are around and have an off-road vehicle ... you have to go there. Half of the entrance fee goes to a non-profit dental practice and half of the maintenance of the monkey enclosure. A great thing. The first (little) monkeys are completely trusting, just look at the pictures. The second (larger) monkeys are in a locked enclosure, because they come from seberal poor animal husbandry and cannot be trusted. Unfortunately, the two initiators of the Park were killed in a plane crash in 2016. We should support the non-profit organization.

The monkies are super cute and the tour guide was very helpful.
The staff is very friendly and they are functioning as a monkey shelter and also organising free medical service for the local people.
So go and visit the Monkey Jungle, it's a very good experience and you will also support them!

Just simply an amazing experience and all for a very good cause that supports the local population health and wellness. The monkeys are so flipping cute and curious. Makes you want to stuff one in your pocket to bring home (terrible idea, don't try) lol. Go early as the monkeys will be more active then.

What a wonderful place to visit with an even better cause. The proceeds minus operational and wage expenses go to free medical and dental care for the poorer people and children of Sosua. The staff are all very friendly and you can tell they have a passion to help people in need. If you have any medical knowledge they are always looking for volunteers and if no medical knowledge they can use your help in other ways as well. They accept donations such as vitamins and oral hygeine products as well. Beyond what they do for the people the tour itself was excellent. The monkeys climb on you and you can feed them. The staff are well acquainted with the monkeys and know which monkeys you should not approach. I highly reccommend this place as it was an excellent experience with a great cause as well.

Love the experience interacting with the Monkey. I highly recommended.

Super welcoming and friendly hosts, very knowledgeable. The little monkeys are so adorable and when they jump on you, they're so soft and graceful, you almost don't know it. Freaked me out for the first moment or two, but they're so gentle, I soon got over that and just fell in love with them.

Shorter than expected, but enjoyable.
Amazing opportunity for kids of all ages.

This place was absolutely amazing!! Very educational and an awesome experience. The monkeys are so soft and didn't smell, lol. We spent a good amount of time in with the monkey. We then did the ziplining it was the 2nd week in April and it was HOT!!! There was a lot of walking and climbing but it was sooooo worth it!!

Everyone was sooo friendly. Anthony was an awesome guide who educated us about the sites before and after we got there and he took awesome pics for use. All the guides at the establishment made the experience fun, entertaining, and most importantly made us all feel safe. Diego the driver was an awesome site with the bus once we were done with everything:)

Would definitely recommend this excursions and do it again if I go back!!!

This place was by far one of the best excursions I’ve done while traveling the world. The staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Our guide was funny and very reassuring. He made us al feel comfortable and some he slowly eased the experience in for them so they felt secure with the monkeys. I was very thrilled to see several monkeys immediately and thoroughly enjoyed my time playing with the monkeys, taking photos and feeding them. The location is extremely beautiful and picturesque. I’ve been to this region amongst serval others several times over the years and this was my first time seeing the mountains in this area like this. I would highly recommend EVERYONE going to Sosua to come visit this place and experience the views, zip lining and Monkeys. This is a Must when visiting Sosua or Puerto Plata!! Thank you again for the great experience!!

Great visit, both the time with the monkeys and zip line were great. Briefings can be in Spanish or English. The last 4 km of the road are a little rough but passable

Absolutely beautiful and amazing place to visit. The squirrel monkeys were so sweet! I hope to go again very soon. I would reccomend this place to anyone and everyone. The people and animals there are just amazing. Keep up the great work!!

I just LOVED the zip line experience!! Our tour guide was amazing, well prepared and funny.
They take all necessary security measures for the guest safety. The most challenging part for me was the free jump to the cave, but I DID IT 😊

Excellent day spent w the monkeys

When we decided to go to Monkey Jungle, I thought, yeah let's go pet some monkeys, like you pet a cat or dog. I was clearly not prepared for what I was about to experience. Long story short: they totally stole my heart and haven't handed it back yet. It was a next level animal experience! Their extreme elegance and precision when they jump from one person to the next, their cute faces, their soft fur, and the careful grip with their tiny hands enlighted me and clearly made my day. We were all thrilled!
The location is beautiful and the tour guide nice and skilled in languages. Zip lines were closed for construction at the time of our visit unfortunately.

One thing: MJ is really hard to reach and you need to account at least 2000 Pesos (40 Dollars) for a Taxi. The driver will likely wait at the MJ cafeteria while you spend time with the monkeys, because the "road" there barely deserves its name, making the journey so long and difficult that the driver will rather wait until you're done.

We have 5 stars for our experience at Monkey Jungle. Our four adult children zip-lined (most for the first time). Jose was amazing and funny and showed them a super fun time. They loved it! Next we all went into see and feed the monkeys and it was something we will never forget! Our tour guide was Joel and he was informative and fun! Highly recommend.
