La Romana, a vibrant province on the southeastern coast of the Dominican Republic, offers more than stunning beaches and world-class resorts—it’s home to a unique wildlife experience at Monkeyland La Romana. Operated by BestDRExcursions, this five-hour guided tour delivers an intimate encounter with curious squirrel monkeys in a lush, natural setting just outside the city. Situated on a five-acre plot, Monkeyland is a lively habitat where these small primates leap freely among fruit trees and vibrant botanical gardens, providing visitors an unforgettable chance to feed them directly from their hands.
The adventure begins with a visit to a traditional Dominican country house, where guests gain insight into local agricultural life, organic farming methods, and authentic cultural traditions. This cultural immersion establishes a vivid context for the region’s natural environment, setting the stage for the main event: spending time with the playful squirrel monkeys.
The designated monkey habitat showcases native flora such as medicinal plants and fruit trees, enriching the backdrop with greenery and occasional mountain vistas. Guests witness the monkeys’ natural behaviors and social interactions in a setting that prioritizes their welfare and conservation. Beyond wildlife, the itinerary includes stops at nearby coffee and cocoa plantations, painting a comprehensive picture of local life and land stewardship.
