Go to Monkeyland - you will not regret it❤️
My husband, daughters’ and I had such a wonderful time at Monkeyland! Sammy and Alejandro were excellent tour guides and we loved learning more about the Dominican culture. The monkeys were absolutely adorable and this was one of our family’s highlights of our vacation. We loved all our guides that helped with the monkeys and they took awesome pictures of our family. From time of pick-up until drop off back at our hotel was excellent. And the coffee and chocolate were delicious!

Very engaging, fun, and a must go to learn more about Dominican culture, shout out to Radel for his amazing knife skills, shout out to Anthony and Rony for the amazing pictures and kind words. The food was also amazing!! Love it all!

Great half day tour!...
Great half day tour! Picked up directly at our resort, learned about coffee and cocoa and then off to see the monkeys. Johnny Tequila was amazing! He was funny and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed his sense of humour. The surprise for us was the lunch we got to have at the end of our tour. Fried chicken was delicious. Already gave Runners Adventures details to our friends who are coming in a couple of weeks

Terrible customer service
I did not even get to go on the tour because no one notified me that the tour I was going on, I would have to wait for 2-3 hours while the rest of the group did another activity. Not only that, but I was never given confirmation as far as what time we will be leaving or notified of the wait time. Had I known, I could have easily booked another part of the tour so we wouldn’t be waiting or made appropriate accommodations. When I asked the tour guide if I can pay the difference to go along, she said there was no space. When I asked for my money back all of a sudden “they were gonna see what they could do about space”. It’s very frustrating. The guide said the company would be in touch with me regarding refund and here I am yet with any contact from them. SUPER disappointed. I’ve reserved trips in various other countries on different platforms (Viator, Airbnb, get your guide) and this is the first time I have not been able to go on my trip, or that I did not receive any info prior to the trip. When I called the tour guide company directly, they argued that bc I had booked through a 3rd party agency, I was basically out of luck. Still waiting to talk to someone.
Response from the operator: Dear Traveler, We sincerely regret that you were unable to enjoy the excursion you booked, and we fully understand your frustration due to the lack of information and the situation you experienced. As previously indicated, since the reservation was made through a third-party agency, refunds and confirmations are primarily handled by that agency. For this reason, we recommend contacting them directly to follow up on your case and continue the corresponding process. However, if you would like to expedite the refund process or have us review your situation internally, please contact us at contact@runnersadventures.com, including your full name, reservation number, tour date, and the agency through which you made the booking. We will gladly do our best to assist you within our possibilities. Thank you for sharing your experience, and we apologize for the inconvenience caused. We remain at your disposal.

Monkeyland and Plantation Safari from La Romana: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Romana.
How much does Monkeyland and Plantation Safari from La Romana cost?
+
Prices start at $95 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in La Romana usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Monkeyland and Plantation Safari from La Romana take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in La Romana is not rushed.
Is Monkeyland and Plantation Safari from La Romana worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 77 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in La Romana, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Monkeyland and Plantation Safari from La Romana?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Monkeyland and Plantation Safari from La Romana suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Monkeyland and Plantation Safari from La Romana?
+
Around 27 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in La Romana can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in La Romana and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Monkeyland and Plantation Safari from La Romana start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central La Romana within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in La Romana?
+
On Outty we rank every La Romana experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small Group: Saona Island Full Day Tour, Hip hop boat party punta cana live Dj & OPEN BAR soca dancehall, Saona Island small group and relax - luxury catamaran. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit La Romana?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in La Romana?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
