Tons of Monkeys!

Alyssa_P, Apr 2023

Had a great time, our kiddo loved seeing monkeys in person. Such a beautiful area and to be able to learn from a Mayan guide is an honor. Worth it!

Spider and howler monkeys up close

Ross_M, Mar 2023

Great tour with very knowlegable guide who could call to the monkeys and get them to call back. He knew all about their behavior and answered all kinda of questions we had from their social structures to food sources and breeding. We saw over a dozen spider monkeys and two howler monkeys. Very highly recommended for anyone who wants to see wild monkeys up close.

Amazing tour!

Heather_K, Jan 2023

This was such a special experience, a highlight of our trip! Nelson, our guide, and Eric, our driver, were both so knowledgeable and fun, great with our kids (12, 8) and us. We saw howler and spider monkeys and cooled off with a swim in the beautiful lagoon -- amazing. Highly highly recommend!

Wild Monkey Honeymoon

Christin_C, Nov 2022

Hiking in the Mayan jungle & seeing both Spider & Howler monkeys in their natural habitat was amazing. I wish we could have stayed a little bit longer.

jungle monkeys

Fantastic Tour!

maiapollan, Oct 2019

We had an awesome time on our tour. Our tour guide, Eli was terrific. He was super energetic, good humored and extremely informative about the history of the country and the Maya. We were very lucky to be up-close and personal with the spider monkey’s, and had a the opportunity to witness many swinging families. It felt like the documentary was brought live to our eyes. The experience was a memorable one! Thank you Eli for giving us such a wonderful time.

Response from Host, Oct 2019

Dreams come true!!

We’ve been on a few group excursions, Yucatan Eli’s is a smaller tour company. Eli himself took us, privately and showed us the Mayan culture firsthand. Eli is very knowledgeable in the local history and culture,which made our excursion unforgettable. He was very willing to go above and beyond to offer us an authentic Mayan experience!! We highly recommend this company for anyone with small groups seeking authenticity in their travels!!!

Affenbabys

Theresa_M, Mar 2023

Es war ein super cooler Tag, wir haben drei Spinnenaffen Familien mit ihren Babys gesehen und den Dschungel durchwandert. Es war wunderschön, die Affen in ihrem natürlichen Lebensraum erleben zu können, absolut empfehlenswert!

Rencontre avec les singes en pleine forêt

Emilie_M, Aug 2022

Très bonne expérience. Nous avons pu observer des singes araignées et une famille de singes hurleurs dans leur milieu naturel. Le guide nous a apporté beaucoup de renseignements sur leur mode de vie... Le lieu est très agréable et la randonnée dans la forêt au top.
