From Bayahibe: Half-day Safari to Monkeyland. At a center run by a Canadian couple, you will have the unique opportunity to interact with a family of squirrel monkeys. Let the monkeys eat directly from a fruit bowl you hold in your hands and pose for photos. Explore the enclosures and botanical gardens. After being picked up from your accommodation in Bayahibe, head out for your safari adventure. Begin the excursion with a visit to a typical country house where you can mingle with Dominicans and learn how to live off the land and its organic products. You'll have the opportunity to taste roasted coffee and cocoa. Next, head to the magnificent botanical garden, where you'll discover the island's native plants and flowers. For the next 45 minutes, enjoy a guided tour that allows you to interact closely with the beautiful and friendly squirrel monkeys of Monkeyland. These charming and intelligent monkeys have been cared for by a Canadian couple with 35 years of experience with animals, including 12 years at the Toronto Zoo, where they learned to trust monkeys and appreciate human company. During the tour, you'll explore 5 acres of beautiful land that the monkeys call home. The monkeys are completely accustomed to human contact. They come down from trees to sit on your shoulder and eat from your hands. Careful, monkeys love anything bright and interesting! The little monkeys love posing for cameras and will likely sit, and if allowed, will see themselves in your camera. Adorable!
