We had a different expectation of the “monkey feeding,” so here is what it’s actually like. At a specific time, the staff brings out two buckets of mixed fruits and gently places the food into one or two spots on the ground. The monkeys then come from all directions to enjoy their meal. You are not allowed to touch or feed them — you simply observe as they eat, interact with each other, and sort out their little social dynamics. Overall, we enjoyed the small zoo area. We saw peacocks, guinea fowls, some very cool stone-colored Cuban iguanas, and many turtles freely walking around. There were also parrots, which were fun to see, and we even spotted two small caimans in the water area, along with a few aquatic turtles. One rabbit looked a bit unwell, but it was moving. Keep in mind that you don’t feed the monkeys yourself — you only watch from a distance. The trails with the turtles aren’t really worth the time; there isn’t much to see there. Tickets today were 20 USD for adults and 10 USD for children. We didn’t see any deer — only sheep and bulls as we walked around the property.

So much to see here. There are multiple paths that allow you to explore without simply following the people in front of you. Green monkeys are everywhere and the feeding is a fun experience. The are so many different animals to see up close. There is a small informative museum inside and just so much to see. You will enjoy the shade of the thick canopy while you make your way in and among the natural beauty of the reserve.

High hopes - big disappointment
We visited the nature reserve excited to see what Barbados has to offer paying 60 dollars. Stepping inside there were tortoise everywhere which filled us with hope to see exotic animals and wildlife but sadly we were disappointed.
The animals were kept in small cages/enclosures which was sad to see.
The monkeys were no where to be seen which was ultimately what we hoped to see.
Save your money people, we saw monkeys outside playing in the trees opposite.

A highlight of our trip to Barbados. We were there for the 2pm monkey feeding and were not disappointed. There were so many green monkeys. They were both fascinating and entertaining to watch. Plenty of red footed tortoises wandering around along with guinea fowl and peacocks. Be sure to include in your plans.

Great experience especially during the feeding of the monkeys. Didn’t expect to encounter so many tortoise but it was nice with them being outside and free to roam.
This is a must see on a visit to the Barbados especially if you like nature.
