About this activity
First, you will be picked up directly in your hotel in safari trucks. Take in the beautiful landscapes and interesting culture in the 45 minute ride to the zipline facility. There, the expert canopy guides will tell you what you need to know about the activity and the equipment. After the safety briefing and teaching line, you are ready for the first platform. Safely attached with climbing gear to the double line cables, you just need to jump and enjoy the ride. The tour consists of 12 lines spread between 18 platforms.
Continue your tour with a visit to the Coconut House or “Casa del Coco” to learn how coconut oil is produced and taste fresh organic products such as exotic Caribbean fruits, roasted coffee and cacao. The next 45 minutes are spent in a guided tour of Monkeyland where you will interact in close proximity with these beautiful and friendly squirrel monkeys. The charming and intelligent monkeys have been formed by a Canadian couple with more than 35 years of experience working with animals, including 12 years at the Toronto Zoo teaching monkeys to trust and enjoy the company of humans.
This tour is based on 5 acres of a beautiful piece of land that monkeys have made their home. Finish your adventure by winding down at the Mountain Ranch and feasting on the most delicious traditional Dominican food.

We got picked up at 7:15AM and didn't get dropped off until 6PM. We were the first to get picked up and last to get dropped off, which added a solid hour of sitting on the bus. The bus is comfortable and air conditioned. The tour guides are all so great and helpful. We went zip lining first and that was a RUSH, especially if you've never done it. The view is insane and beautiful. We then got lunch, which was pretty decent. Then did the Monkeyland. FYI you cannot touch the monkeys yourself. And be prepared for them to jump at you at all times. Heaven to me, scary for others. Such a great time! My biggest complaint is going to the "coconut factory" where you feel like you're in an infomercial just being sold everything. The guide spent a good 30 minutes telling us about all the products to buy. Meanwhile you're exhausted, tired, sweaty and uncomfortable just waiting to go back to your hotel. But even with that, it was an excellent day!
After looking at numerous sites and reviews, we booked through Viator. We got picked up at our hotel at 11am, which we we're worried at first since we had dinner reservations at 8 and thought it was a 9 hour trip in total. But we talked to Wilber and he set us up with another driver after we ziplined since we were doing Monkeyland next. If you do both you won't be disappointed. Ziplining was fun and I found out I need more cardio, Lol. You go from one to another and if it gets to be too much you can go back early and wait. After ziplining we had a Dominican meal, which was a HUGE spread, and music by locals. Tipping is a must, the ladies cooked and everything was delicious, also tip the musicians. We went on to learn about how coffee is made and cocoa. Got to sample fresh grated cocoa with sugar cane and cinnamon, they put in your hand to eat. Also, tasted coffee if you wanted and hot chocolate and mamajuanna a local root, wine, rum and honey drink. There are spices, honey, cocoa butter and so much more to purchase, which we did. Monkeyland was next and it was so beautiful looking over the mountains and feeding the monkeys. You get a bowl of fruit and nuts and they just jump all over you, we got many pictures and purchased pictures from them. All in all is was worth the money, it's once in a lifetime experience. everyone was nice and friendly and comical.
Mimi was an amazing tour guide! I highly recommend this trip to anyone! Will definitely do it again in another country! Ziplining was great also, for someone afraid of heights, i overcame them for this and highly recommend this as well!
