Important Information

• Guest Preparation – Monkey River Tour Guests are advised to avoid wearing black clothing during the tour. Please wear comfortable, sturdy footwear, such as hiking sandals or tennis shoes, and bring along bug spray for your comfort. If the monkeys are not visible along the river’s edge, we may need to take a short hike across the flat plains to reach their location. Comfortable footwear and bug spray will therefore be especially helpful. We want you to be comfortable and prepared so you can fully enjoy your Monkey River adventure.
