Our driver was excellent! Very informed, and patient with our disorganized little group! She really made it comfortable!
Dan_B, May 2026
The monkey experience and wildlife park were amazing.
As we travelled from the south of the island it felt a little rushed overall, and an extra hour would have been nice so that more of the monkey park could have been explored.
Is the trip worth doing, absolutely.
Karen_M, May 2026
The monkey encounter was great! The unexpected part was the island knowledge that our wonderful guide, Charles, shared with us when we were in the van. It was just what we wanted!
Steven_A, May 2026
Great driver and experience. We really enjoyed the animal reserve and learning about the island and its history.
Moniqua_B, May 2026
This tour was absolutely phenomenal — one we’ll be talking about for a long time! Our guide Lisa was incredible, taking us to stunning hidden sites across the island that we never would have discovered on our own.
One of the true highlights was visiting the Animal Flower Cave — a breathtaking natural wonder that left us completely in awe. The scenery inside was so unique that we couldn’t stop taking photos. It’s the kind of place that pictures almost don’t do justice.
We covered so much ground, traveling across the entire island and soaking in everything Barbados has to offer. The wildlife reserve was another unforgettable stop — getting to spend time with the monkeys was such a fun, up-close experience that felt genuinely special, not staged or rushed.
Throughout the whole tour, our guide was generous with her knowledge, sharing fascinating facts and stories that gave us a real appreciation for the island’s nature and culture.
If you’re visiting Barbados, this is a non-negotiable. You will not be disappointed!

This was such a great experience. Our tour guide, Michael was fantastic to spend the half day with. Very informative. The monkey feed was a high light for my children, so many monkeys, so close up. Would highly recommend. This tour was very accommodating to our pick up
Location as well. Small group in the van. Very pleasant.
Michael_W, Apr 2026
We were disappointed before going because as others have said, we thought we were going to be able to interact with the monkeys. That being said we went anyway and had a great time. We enjoyed the nature conservation and the monkey feeding. Our tour guide was amazing and it made it a great day!
Angie_H, Apr 2026
Our Tour guide Glynne was great! Pick up from hotel at 9 and all the way up to the wildlife reserve and back he was giving us so much information about where we were and educating us on Barbados. We were given a Rum Punch before we walked around the small wildlife reserve then went to the area for the monkeys being fed. Was amazing being around them, with brand new baby monkeys which made my day seeing them clinging to their Mummies just a foot away from me. Stopped for THE most amazing views. Dropped back to our hotel just after 1.30. Great Day
Noah_W, Apr 2026
We had a great time watching the monkeys get fed. I do wish we could’ve held on but it makes sense because they are still wild. Charles was a great guide all throughout, very knowledgeable and funny.
Valerie_K, Apr 2026
The kids especially loved the animal sanctuary - seeing the monkeys, turtles etc. Our tour guide was awesome!
Lourdemilla_D, Apr 2026
This trip was historically Informative and beautiful. The scenery on our way to the reservation was amazing. Our tour guide Sheahan was prompt picking us up. He is a very funny and well trained knowledgeable tour guide.
Cynthia_S, Apr 2026
If you like animals it was great trip we also saw a lot of the island there are stairs and uneven surface if you have a traveler with difficulties walking this would be a struggle
Adrian_W, Mar 2026
We really enjoyed our half-day out and our visit to the nature park. We were picked up on time by Charles, who was an excellent guide.
Feeding time with the monkeys was an awesome experience but there other parts of the trip were just as enjoyable.
Thanks to Charles for our wonderful visit.
Karen_W, Mar 2026
Excellent from start to finish. Winston was our driver/ guide for the tour he was very good and very knowledgeable. Very comfortable transport
Daniella_C, Mar 2026
Our tour began with a prompt pick up and our driver Shein was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and a great driver. We stopped at a scenic lookout before getting into the nature park. We had plenty of time to explore the park before the monkey feeding. We opted out of visiting the caves but decided on a wonderful lunch instead. It was a great day!
Patricia, Mar 2026
It was a great day. Loved our driver Lisa. She was full of information and great humor. And we git to see and experience better Barbados
Jane_W, Feb 2026
Great experience !
The monkeys are wild but offered free, fresh fruit at 11am and 2pm everyday so MANY show up. They swing on vines and eat the grapes and cherries and apple halves offered. It's a wonderful way to see monkeys in their environment. The walk from the van to the monkeys is very short but downhill and although paved a little rough so not good for a "walker" but ok for a person who just needs stability hiking poles. We went with a teenager who loved it. There are other animals to see across the monkey viewing area- tortoises, birds etc. It's a very nice destination.
The van is air-conditioned and comfortable and teh driver thatw e had was very knowledgeable about the island and teh different areas. Worth the price!

You need a bathing suit and towel if you are going to do the flower cave (which wasn't made clear to us) and the cost isn't included in the tour. We greatly enjoyed the monkey feeding experience but that only lasted 15 minutes (out of the 4 hours) and was extremely crowded. That said, there was plenty of opportunity to see well and get good pictures. The wildlife refuge which happened to be in the same location as the monkey feeding as nothing to write home about. The majority of the time is spent in the car traveling from one location to the next. If you get car sick be aware that the roads are windy. The overlook at flower cave was breathtaking and totally worth it.

We had a driver. I wouldn’t call him a guide. He did no “guiding.” He brought us to places. He showed us a map. That’s about it.
ken_g, Feb 2026
Was nice seeing the crashing waves at North Point and the feeding of the monkeys The ride thru Barbados was informative
Kathleen_C, Feb 2026
It was wonderful to see all of the animals in their natural habitat. We found it to be quite informative, and we enjoyed learning about the different quirks of the animals.
EleanorJane_S, Jan 2026
Winston was an excellent tour guide showing us some beautiful spots as well as the wildlife reserve. Being there for the monkey feeding was excellent as you got close to the monkeys (you’re not allowed to feed or pet them).
Anonymous, Jan 2026
Although the tour was due to start at 10:30. Unknown to us the pick up at our hotel was at 8:00. We didn’t see the email late the day before (as we were travelling) so we were still in bed asleep when the pick up arrived. Condenser missed the tour.
Talia_C, Jan 2026
The tour was awesome from start to finish timely pickup and drop off and we had a wonderful experience at the wildlife park and animal flower cave.
lindaarva, Jan 2026
When I booked I thought this was a monkey feeding experience for my OH and me. What we got was an employee throwing fruit etc to a group of monkeys. It was difficult to see as other people were standing in front of us. Not very exciting.
Also we stopped off on the way back so people could go down a cave and swim in the water down there. There should be a warning that it is extremely slippery. Having broken my femur 7 months ago I was petrified of going down there so didn’t bother.
Holly_C, Jan 2026
Our guide, Stephen, was the best! We loved learning about the island and getting to see every town. The wild life reserve was incredible and the monkey feeding experience was so amazing!
Dan_S, Jan 2026
Fun day seeing the monkeys and taking a ride around Barbados and hearing some fun facts about the island. Lots of time spent in the car. Would have been better to spend a bit more time at the activities.
Chuong_T, Jan 2026
This was a must visit green monkeys tour in Barbados. We had Vincent as our tour guide and he was fantastic. He was patient, professional, friendly, knowledgeable and informative about the history, geography and wildlife of Barbados. We visited the Barbados Wildlife Reserve and saw green monkeys up close, peacocks, iguanas, tortoises and etc. We also had rum punch at the Reserve. I highly recommended Vincent as your tour guide and I would do this green monkeys tour again the next time I visit Barbados.
SIOBHAN_r, Dec 2025
Great day out really enjoyed well worth it dint miss out on the chance to get up close and personal with the monkeys just stand back and don't touch them
Annette_D, Dec 2025
The tour guide/driver was very informative about everything and kept us all informed.
The site itself would have been nice if we had a guide around and told us about the animals .
