Excellent tour
Yvonne_G, Mar 2023
We got to spend as much time as we wanted feeding the monkees. No rush. The monkees were very friendly. Charlie our tour guide was awesome. He knew a lot about the monkees and the local plants. Lunch was delicious! We'd definitely do it again!
Would recommend especially for kids

Josue was our guide and he was excellent! He made sure he knew where the aloha male was at all times to keep us safe and gave us a memorable experience. My kids laughed the whole time. It is literally in someone’s backyard that allow people to come in and see the monkeys. They care well for them but also give them their space.
great fun

We all loved it! Playing with the monkeys was fantastic. The guide was so nice and the monkeys were too cute!
The whole experience was...

The whole experience was great. We were able to interact with Monkey's which our 12 year old son loved along with my fiancée and myself. Eating fruit by the ocean was a plus and the lunch was an phenomenal. I highly recommend this tour if looking to interact with monkey's while in Jaco, Costa Rica.
I can’t recommend this tour

The guide, Josue, was excellent. He is very proud of Costa Rica and very informative about the local foods, schools and the community of Jaco - we enjoyed his information. The tour, however, was a disappointment. It was a long drive - an hour each way - to an unattractive patch of dirt in the trees. There were plenty of monkeys interacting with us, and the traditional Costa Rican lunch was good, but we saw all the monkeys we wanted in 10 to 15 minutes and then there was that hour long drive back.
Response from Host, Feb 2023
Hello friends, thank you very much for your comment, the monkey experience is approximately 45 minutes from Jaco, but since we had to pick them up in Playa Hermosa it takes about 20 more minutes, the guide Josué also told me that there was traffic because they were working on the road and there was also an accident, with the time to be with the monkeys is 45 minutes maximum, I will ask someone again to find out if he complied with that time, from what you told me he did not comply, we will improve that and we will give him the time what people need to enjoy the experience, thank you very much for your comments friend
Amazing monkeys

This was literally one of our favorite things we did in Costa Rica! Charlie was fantastic! He gave us plenty of time with the monkeys and we enjoyed it so much! We also enjoyed seeing the crocodiles as well as our yummy fruit and lunch. Thank you so much! Do this tour, you can shower afterward 😁

Waist of time
Dino_K, Nov 2022
It is Too expensive and dirty rest room round trip 2 hours half an hour tour. Friendly driver. It’s worth of $30 no more.
Response from Host, Nov 2022
Hello friend, thank you very much for the observation, we will improve the area of the trip, with the price it depends on the cost of transportation fuel, you have to pay the entrance fee per person in the area of the monkeys, since it is needed to protect them, apart from to pay the driver and guide, fruits, waters, lunch and commission of the page that you reserve, the price after all that is with considerable fair, if we need to improve the conditions and we will worry about that and we appreciate that you are honest, thank you very much for visit us and the next time you visit us the experience will be much better
LOVED IT
