Monkeyland from Punta Cana pairs squirrel monkey time in a jungle habitat with coffee and cacao tastings, plus hotel pickup.
“Lots of fun feeding the monkeys, however I got bit by one that mistook my finger for food. The staff said that the monkeys are all vaccinated twice a year. However, I'm not taking any chances and and started my rabies shots protocol. I would suggest wearing strong gloves for anyone doing this excursion.”
