This is a wonderful excursion! We weren’t sure if we’d see any monkeys & what a great surprise! There were lots of monkeys all over the place. They were active for the whole time we were there. It was very entertaining! Our tour guide was a gem! He made sure we knew where & when to meet him. We had a short tour of Barbados on our way to the wildlife sanctuary. Our guide showed us the various places & gave some of facts about them. He had a good sense of humor. After our visit with the monkeys, we had another tour scheduled. Our guide made arrangements for a taxi to meet us in town & take us to our other excursion and bring us back to our cruise afterwards. He was really great! I highly recommend this tour!

Our daughter chose this excursion to do on her birthday. The driver who picked us up at the cruise port was very accommodating when our cruise ship docked late. They came back an hour later just for our family so we could do this for her birthday! We saw tons of monkeys and fed them sugar cane along our walk. The driver also dropped us off at the beach on our way back to the port since we had some time left. She made sure we knew how to get a taxi back to the port before she sent us on our way. Just amazing. Thank you to the woman driver and her hubby! We absolutely loved this and will go back to Barbados to enjoy a whole week at some point.

Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful review! We’re truly delighted to hear that your daughter’s birthday excursion was such a special experience. It means a lot to know that our driver was able to accommodate the delayed cruise arrival and still ensure your family enjoyed a memorable day in Barbados. Seeing and feeding the monkeys is always a highlight, and we’re glad you got to enjoy that unique encounter along with a relaxing beach stop before returning to the port. We also appreciate your kind mention of the care taken to ensure you were comfortable with your return arrangements. Your feedback will be shared with the driver and her team, as it will mean a great deal to them. We’re thrilled that your time with us left such a positive impression, and we truly look forward to welcoming you back to Barbados for a longer stay in the future!

Failed opportunity - with happy hotel ending

MichaelB, Feb 2026
Unfortunately local traffic and festival and combined tour van stops, while creating a pleasant enough alternative event, led to missing two feeding/sighting opportunities. Total fail. (Our hotel’s perimeter at 6:15 am gave a perfect opportunity to see and photograph over a half dozen monkeys simultaneously the next day).

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that parts of your experience were affected by local traffic conditions and increased activity on the day of your tour. While certain factors such as road congestion, festivals, and animal movement are outside of our control, we understand how disappointing it can be when wildlife viewing opportunities are missed as a result. Monkey sightings in Barbados are naturally unpredictable and can vary based on time of day, weather, and movement patterns, even when locations are carefully selected based on historical activity. We appreciate your understanding that wildlife encounters cannot be guaranteed.That said, we do regret that your experience did not meet expectations overall. Your comments are valuable and will be shared with our team as we continually review timing, routing, and coordination to improve guest outcomes where possible. We’re glad to hear you were still able to enjoy seeing monkeys during your stay, and we hope you were able to take away some positive memories of Barbados despite the challenges on the day of the tour.

Wildlife reserve

The monkeys are free roaming around the reserve but you also get to see tortoises, iguanas and other wildlife.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so happy you enjoyed the Green Monkey experience and the chance to see not only the free-roaming monkeys, but also the tortoises, iguanas, and other wildlife in the reserve. It’s truly a unique and memorable part of Barbados. We appreciate you choosing our tour and hope to welcome you back again soon!

Enjoyed walking thru the forest, better sights of monkeys and other wild life away from the feeding area.

Betsy_C, Mar 2025
Our driver was fantastic, very knowledgeable about life on the island and the areas we drove thru. She was able to answer all our questions.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

That sounds like an amazing experience! Walking through the forest and seeing wildlife in their natural habitat must have been unforgettable. It’s great that the driver was so knowledgeable and could make the trip even more special. Look forward to seeing you again.
