The Monkey Farm
Despite the name, you’re likely to see more goats, ducks, chickens, pigs, and other farm animals than you are monkeys. During interactive tours, you can feed a baby goat, harvest and brew tea, and pet baby peacocks. Advanced reservations required. At this volunteer-run operation, animals are rescued, rehabilitated, and released back into the wild. At any given time, you might see reptiles, raccoons, and (usually) a monkey or two that are being treated for injuries. Keep in mind this is not a zoo, nor is it a tourist trap, meaning that animals roam free and the sanctuary survives on a donation basis. The sustainable farm has an impressive aquaponics setup and offers horseback-riding tours for all levels—$55 per hour in the jungle or $70 for two hours on the beach.
