MANAWAKIE ECO NATURE PARK

This is a fun destination.
They had a great young man to do the tour and gave some good information about the island.
The parrots were huge and beautiful.
There are monkeys all over the facility. Some running around and some in cages. The sloths are beautiful. It was amazing to hold a sloth.
The monkeys are friendly and well-behaved.
The gift shop had cute merchandise.

Such a great little park! Definitely a very curated experience for tourists. But you do get to hold a sloth, toucan, and let monkeys crawl all over you, which you are not likely to have a chance to do at a zoo. The 35 minutes most tour companies spend here is quite adequate, though it doesn’t seem like enough at first.

What an amazing experience being here. Getting to hold the sloth and interact with the monkeys and macaw was amazing experience for me and my family. The guides were great as well and it was a really good experience highly recommend

We visited today. Great guides explained everything they could. We could pet a sloth, take a photo with a parrot and let monkeys play with us :). The animals are amazing and I believe they take a good care of them there. The staff was kind. Thank you Eddie!

Lots of fun! Booked through a shore excursion from Norwegian and was well worth the time invested.

Neat place for a visit! Very interactive. Monkeys loved jumping on your head, especially if you’re a guy(!?). Held a sloth, pretty awesome.

Ore and all the staff were wonderful. We had a beautiful tour of the island and held Carne B the 3 year old sloth. The cutest thing ever! Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. A must see if you ever visit Roatan!!!

Had a great time here and learned some interesting things about local history and culture. AND interacted with monkeys, birds and a sloth!

Each person gets to hold a sloth, interact with small monkeys and pose for a photo with a large colorful bird. A short history of the island is given in a small “museum.” Very satisfying, but in hindsight I wonder if the animals are ever allowed outside of the small dirt floor cages, and I wonder if there is any oversight of humane animal practices.

Loved this place! Interaction with the monkeys and sloths was an amazing experience. Guide was very informative about local flora and fauna and animals.

We did the Monkey & Sloth tour. Transportation was right on time to pick us up at our hotel and gave us quick tour of the island. The monkeys and sloths were ADORABLE!!! We spent about 30 minutes touring the park and petting the animals, learning some local history. A great activity!

This was my first shore excursion, and I can't recommend it enough! You get to hold a Scarlet macaw (national bird of Honduras), you get to hold a sloth, and you get to go inside of a monkey pen. The only suggestion I have for you is that you can't have any loose items with you when you go in the monkey pen because the monkeys will try to take it away from you.

This was a fantastic tour! We chose package 4 including ziplining and the beach. The encounter with the monkeys and sloth were so much fun! Plan on spending some time waiting for the zip line if there are a lot of people. However, you get to spend about an hour ziplining through the jungle. Time ended up running low but they were still able to get us to the beach and back to our ship on time. Danny was great giving us a lot of history about the island and answering questions. Would highly recommend this company!

Absolutely loved the monkeys and sloths!! Our guide Ordie Johnson was fantastic. Very knowledgeable, friendly and funny. We had a great time and would highly recommend!!

Booked a 3 stop snorkeling package with Nature Park tour, in January 2023. I brought my 1.5 year old and was able to hire a babysitter through the park. Alejandra was beyond amazing and was able to get her to sleep on the boat while I enjoyed snorkeling. Our driver, Fernando, was assigned to us all day and was always there when he needed him. This truly was a better experience that I could ever have dreamed of. Can't wait to go back! My only suggestions to travelers is pack light because your backpacks must stay in your Driver’s vehicle during monkey tour, for safety. Also pay the $2 taxi fee to get to your driver pick up, that walk was rough.

We loved our stop with the monkeys, sloths, and parrots. We were able to get very close to the critters. It was alot of fun.

This place is amazing!! Eddy is a kind gentle yougman who clearly loves what he is doing and the animals. I cannot recommend enough, that any traveling to Routan comes to this place and supports what they do. Animals are well taken care of, friendly and the place is well maintained. Thanks to Simon and Gracia for the amaz8ng tour and stop here. We will be back!!

Amazing unforgettable experience. Sloths, monkeys, history, culture, nature. The guides were so warm and patient and knowledgeable and fun! We had a group of 15 and had a wonderful time.

Had a wonderful time holding the sloths and monkeys. Got a great lesson of history and culture of the island as well. Restaurant was also really good!

OMGG!! It was SO fun to observe AND HOLD the sloths!! You actually get to go into the cages with the monkeys!! Make sure your pockets are empty!!
