Monkeyland is exactly what it sounds like: a hillside reserve where squirrel monkeys drop onto your shoulders for a snack. These are the best Monkeyland tours, best first, including which combine the visit with zip-lines or Damajagua, how long you spend with the monkeys, and what the ride up the hill involves.

“This was absolutely amazing! We started at the Monkey Home. This was really well run and offered lots of space and enrichment for the monkeys (we've been to some other places that were pretty depressing). There was tons of interaction with the monkeys and they were super cute. Next we went to the waterfall. This was a once in a lifetime experience but be warned -- the hike to the top is NO JOKE. The guide stopped regularly so we could rest, but it was definitely a challenge. That said, wading through the canyons and sliding down the rock slides was amazing. Thanks to our guide Jerry!”

Monkeyland monkeys, Damajagua waterfall slides, and a muddy two-person buggy ride from Puerto Plata in one fast 5.5-hour tour.
“Great activity! Cruise ended up leaving a bit earlier last minute, and Francesco and his team worked seamlessly around that. The waterfalls were amazing, do not miss them. As a certified scaredy cat, the first three falls were doable. You could either slide or jump and I think worse case scenario, climb back down. The stairs are more steep than the jump or slide. The monkey experience was also absolutely amazing! Would also not miss. The buggy experience was also a cannot miss activity, but DANG do you get muddy!! We were covered from head to toe, so dress accordingly. Amazing! Would recommend.”
