La Romana Monkeyland

We took the Monkeyland excursion through Carnival. $80 We enjoyed it. A/C bus ride about an hour through the countryside, a city and into the mountains. The monkeys were really cool, climbing on you with their babies in tow. They give you a bowl of food and they climb all over you. Do not were your best clothes as they leave foot prints all over you. It had loose gravel and hills but should be manageable for older with no real difficulty walking. It was also mostly shade. After that they take you to a typical home and show you coffee and cocoa roasting with samples and a sales pitch.

There is basically nothing to do in walking distance from thais port, only a dozen or so shops. Book a tour but be wary of using a private tour as the crime rate on the island is high.

Was there a stop for lunch on this tour or food provided somewhere?
