The guide was very funny. The facility looked very well maintained. We were told a lot about the animals and given lots of explanations. Care was taken to ensure that the animals were not hurt when taking photos (this is more stressful for the animals and makes it more of a tourist attraction), but overall I thought it was quite good. Unfortunately, we couldn't book transportation and had to take a taxi ourselves, which wasn't a problem, but others were picked up from their hotels. That was the only thing that bothered me a little. Otherwise, everything was great!

Smooth pick up. Enjoyed the walk through with the animals even tho it was sad to hear what those animals been through. Atv ride was amazing but the best thing was the cenote cave beautiful hands down. This definitely didn’t disappoint. Bring water and don’t forget your bug spray and sunblock.

We all really enjoyed the tour and learning about the different animals at the sanctuary. The walking around was moderate, and we particularly enjoyed meeting Kimmie ( a white faced capuchin). We would definitely visit again.

We loved this tour! The guide was very friendly and interesting. The animals are well treated, and the place is beautiful. We had the chance to hold monkeys :-) We highly recommend it, despite the slightly high price.
