Monkey Island mangrove - We did get to see lots of monkeys but the whole thing felt like you were in a zoo. You walked down one Long trail and the monkeys came out when the security guards/caretakers threw peanuts at them. Basically comes off as a tourist trap. If the monkeys grab your personal belongings and they did from some of the people on the tour you then have to pay the security guards for them to retrieve your items. Basically, they throw ice cream cones at the monkeys and then the monkeys drop what they stole and then the tourists get their item back but they have to pay. Sounds like a scam. It was a blazing hot humid day which I believe everyday is and it was disappointing that the restaurant that we were taken to was outdoors with absolutely no air conditioning so we had no relief from the heat all day. Then after lunch they gave us an extra hour to basically do nothing because the restaurant was in an isolated area and everyone just had to hang around. You also have to travel on a dirty Auto ferry with no restroom with the locals. Worse yet on a round trip basis. On both trips on the ferry our bus didn't make it on the ferry so we had to wait on the other side until the bus got over. Wouldn't recommend it.
