It was great and our tour guide Terry was excellent in sharing information and finding lots of animals for us to see. The food was good too.

Hands down one of the best tours we have ever been on!! Our guide was a local and knew all of the best spots to see animals. When he reached his hand into a hole and pulled out a HUGE ground crap I knew right then we were on a tour like we’ve never been on before! We saw iguanas, manatees-a mama and baby, monkeys-lots of monkeys! Interesting birds, had a great lunch and got a few souvenirs. Excellent tour by Jeremy and we will remember it forever!

We loved this tour of the Monkey River and surrounding jungle. The tour guide was a local native who was born and raised right at the mouth of the river. He shared a lot about of what we were seeing and was extremely knowledgeable about all the wildlife. He was very personable and shared plenty of stories about growing up on the river. We saw so much we would have missed without him to point it out... bats, hummingbird nests, crocodiles, iguanas and of course, the howler monkeys. We got out of the boat and he took us into the jungle where he narrated even more about their habitat. He was an expert at getting them to howl, quite an experience. My biggest caution, take plenty of bug spray and if possible, wear long pants and protective clothing! We used the repellent wipes and they don't work as well.
