Description
Drive your own buggy through rivers and mud, then observe squirrel monkeys roaming free in their 5-acre habitat — a half-day combo from Puerto Plata.
Drive your own buggy on a thrilling adventure through the Dominican countryside near Maimon. Cross rivers, splash through mud and ride dusty rural trails with our bilingual guides. We stop at La Chosa The Jungle, a cultural stop where you can taste traditional mamajuana, Dominican coffee, organic cacao chocolate and handmade cigars. Then visit Monkeyland, a natural sanctuary where dozens of squirrel monkeys live and roam freely across five acres of tropical habitat. From the designated visitor areas, watch the monkeys leap between branches, play, groom each other and come down to their feeding stations under the staff's supervision. Your visit begins with a short briefing from the sanctuary's guides, who care for the monkeys every day and explain how the animals are fed, monitored and protected. Finally, head to the beach for a refreshing swim stop. Certified local guides provide your gear, a full safety briefing, and accompany you throughout the tour. Free pickup and drop-off at the Amber Cove and Taino Bay cruise ports and hotels in Maimon, Cofresi, Playa Dorada, Costa Dorada and Puerto Plata. Pickup time is coordinated with you after booking, based on your cruise ship's arrival time, and your on-time return is guaranteed.
