What a special experience! - My husband, sister-in-law and I, really wanted to support Monkey Jungle because they give back to the community, with their proceeds going to a free clinic to the Dominicans. You get to walk through the squirrel monkey environment while they use you as a jungle gym to get some food. We got to meet the queen of the squirrel monkeys, China. She was very sweet but every bit the diva her title suggests. It was honestly a fantastic experience. You then get to also feed capuchin monkeys in enclosures, they aren’t as friendly but will do anything for the food the attendant gives you. We managed to hand feed a couple of the gentle ones, but please be careful not all are as friendly. The zip line experience was also very nice, but expect some intense exercise to get to the first line. Lastly our driver Manuel was so nice and knowledgeable about the areas he took us through (the cities to get to monkey jungle and down town Porto Plata). All in all I would do this activity again and suggest it to all animal and adrenaline lovers.

monkey jungle and zip line are a cant miss - the monkey jungle was great and the zip lining is just as fun great group of people running both programs

Fun while at port during cruise - kids really enjoyed ziplining and interacting with the monkeys. friendly people, interesting organization. Manuel from Alegria tours was our driver, he kept us safe and was kind and courteous. would recommend.
