What to expect

Start with an interactive visit to Monkey Home, where curious squirrel monkeys climb around you as you feed them and take photos. Then head to the buggy base for a safety briefing and a guided ride on countryside trails, streams and muddy sections. Buggies are doubles: two guests share each buggy. In a group with an odd number of guests, one guest rides a buggy alone, so 3 guests use 2 buggies and 5 guests use 3. Your guide adjusts the order of the activities to your cruise schedule. Every participant must be at least 6 years old.
