I visited this sanctuary while on a girls' trip to Antigua. It is nice that such an organization exists to help these donkeys. You can tell the staff here really cares for the donkeys. You are given brushes so you can brush and pet the donkeys. The donkeys were so sweet. Antigua was going through a drought when we visited so the donkeys were thin. They were having to import hay. We got to see the donkeys being fed. They were so excited with the truck with the hay showed up. There is also a gift shop where you can buy items to support the sanctuary. I bought a cute little donkey toy made of yarn. As others have mentioned, the road out to the sanctuary is rough, so take your time driving out there.

A wonderful sanctuary that cares for some gorgeous donkeys who have been rescued from terrible conditions. Very caring staff working on very little funding. You can buy handmade gifts plus adopt a donkey make sure to visit as it is worth the drive!

Really wonderful place with kind and caring staff and volunteers. A must-see when you're in Antigua! Sweet donkeys you get to brush if you'd like. Also a cat and dog shelter. The road is rough to get there so we asked our driver to include it on our island tour. You can sponsor a donkey as well, in person and on their website. Don't miss this place!

Our 10 year old believes donkeys are his spirit animal. When he saw the signs for the Donkey Sanctuary he got super excited. We visited mid-way through our week’s vacation. He wasn’t disappointed. It is a simple rescue, nothing fancy, but Carol was warm and welcoming. Told us the stories of how the donkeys got to their new home, gave us brushes to groom them, we came close to feeding time so we heard the donkeys braying in excitement. The sanctuary is on 35 acres but the area close to the main entrance had approx. 20 donkeys. Full disclosure - massive amounts of donkey poo everywhere 🤣🤣, but shockingly enough, we didn’t smell a thing. Our son left with a t-shirt, a crocheted donkey keychain...and an adopted donkey named Pumpkin, full with adoption certificate!) who Carol said she’ll email updated pics of this summer. The entire experience made our little guys day ♥️.
