Tour cost 70USD pp. Tour with guide Atziri was great. She explained animals behavior and purposes of sanctuary. Sitting with adorable Monkey in cage was amazing and super exciting. Only disappointment was a price of photos taken by photographer (60USD). You are not allowed to make photos in monkey's cage due to safety (your and monkey) reason so it's only option to save this great memory.

We had a great time at the Akumal Monkey Sanctuary! There were only 4 of us in our group which was nice. Our guide, Atziri, was great. She did the tour in both English and Spanish. She took the time to learn all of our names, and she was extremely knowledgeable about the animals. The animals are well taken care of. They are all animals that can not go back into the wild. They explained how they got many of the animals and what special needs they may have. It was a walking tour that lasted a little over 90 minutes. Wear comfy shoes and dress for humidity! We bought biodegradable insect repellent there and were so glad we did. It had rained in the morning, and the mosquitos were out en masse. You are in the jungle after all! We were able to have a monkey sit on our heads and laps. We weren’t able to handle the monkey, and they only have one monkey at a time out. The monkeys are rotated through groups, and one monkey doesn’t participate more than one time per day. They picked us up from our hotel and then dropped us off afterwards. All in all, a great afternoon!
