Monkey and Sloth encounter were everything I had hoped for This is a very small park. There was a portion of the tour that involved history lesson. That part was just a filler for time between Monkey and Sloth encounters. These were great!. It was worth $15 or whatever I payed for an entrance fee.

Great day with with the monkeys & sloths This was the most exciting part of our vacation! It’s a small little sanctuary tucked back around beautiful banana trees. Our guide Tyron was knowledgeable and friendly. We really enjoyed spending time with the monkeys. It was very hands on and we spent a lot of time interacting with them. Our memories will last forever.

We loved the Sloth and the monkeys We really enjoyed being up close with the monkeys and being able to hold the Sloth.We love animals and this was the highlight of our cruise.This is a small park and they guide small groups (6 people in ours) into the animal encounters, you’re only in the park for about 1 hour after your guided through.We took a taxi which was $20 one way and only took about 10 minutes from Mahagony Bay.We were told the price was $16 p.p., after they ran my credit card and I questioned the amount which was in Honduras money they informed me that there was an added 15% charge for using a credit card, they should have informed us of this charge in advance and we would have used cash.Overall we enjoyed the day. This is a short trip which cost about $80 for 2 people including taxi.For about $15 more p.p. we could have booked a 4 hour cruise ship excursion to Gumbalimba Park which is a much larger park where you can interact with the monkeys, parrots and Macaws but you do not get to hold a Sloth. We would do this for a second time on our next cruise.

Amazing day! We were visiting Roatan for the day while on a cruise. Of course, I had to hold a sloth! After reading about different sloth experiences on the island, we decided on Manawaukie Eco Park. Best decision ever! Our guide at the park was Kevin, and you could tell he loves his job. We were educated on the many herbs native to the island and their medicinal uses, we held a red macaw, we went into the capuchin monkey enclosure (where they jumped and played all around and on you LOL), and lastly got to hold a sloth. The whole time, Kevin was explaining about the animals and how they care for them, teaching you about the history of the island. I highly recommend a visit to the Eco Park!

Honeymooning Couple Enjoys Birds, Monkeys, and Sloths Highly recommend! Our guide, Teddy(bear), was very friendly and well informed. We learned about island remedies from honey and coconut and several other products. We met and held red macaws. We were pleasantly surprised on entering the monkey enclosure when one of them jumped on me and then my wife, who hadn’t seen mine happen. The highlight for us was holding and hugging a sloth ironically named Flash. So cute!

Manawakie Park Tour – tour of city, mangrove tunnels and eco park with Ryan O’Bryan We ended up changing the type of tour we did with Manawakie so it was not completed through TripAdvisor but through their website. TripAdvisor was how we found them. From initial contact with Manawakie Park via WhatsApp to the end of our tour on 11/8//22 when we were dropped back off it was 15 out of 10 stars. They were responsive and professional from before we left on our trip with my many questions till after when they emailed our photos to us. We started off in Roatan with Ryan O’Bryan the coolest, nicest, kindest, knowledgeable, passionate, fun young man who picked us up. He was smiling from the moment we set eyes on him outside port to when he drove away. He shared lots of knowledge about the island, it’s history, it’s people, current life on the island and the many questions I asked him about his own family and friends. Our first stop was a vista point where he took photos of us and we got a beautiful view of the island and took some photos. Ryan told us all about what we were passing as we drove to our next destination and anything else I asked about. Next stop was to get on our fun little boat in Oak Ridge I believe it was where we were joined by Ryan, his boss and two “captains” to take our tour through the mangrove tunnels. The water is pristine and so beautiful. I’ve never seen anything like it. We learned about the different boats we saw and what they fished for, shrimp, lobster and fish. We learned about the different bays we passed, the history of the island, the homes we saw, the people (we saw some school children being shuttled by boat to school), their exports, economy, some government, the animals, the ocean life, the trees, plant life, fruits, nuts, etc. grown own the island. It was beautiful and fun seeing, learning and experiencing the island. Then we got back in the van and headed to the Eco Park. Clean bathrooms I will mention lol that’s important! The staff there were all knowledgeable and kind. You can tell they all love the animals they care for there. I can’t remember all their names, I have a terrible memory, but I do remember Kevin’s name (I know and love a Kevin so that was easy). Kevin and all of his friends/coworkers at the park were great! We held Flash the sloth and learned all about Flash and sloths like him. So special. I held Bluey the macaw and fed him sunflower seeds. He was beautiful and I enjoyed feeding him and talking to him as I held him. Then we stopped by to say hi to Poncho one of the capuchin monkeys at the park. He was being kept separate at the time b/c a new male Mono they recently obtained was trying to take over being the alpha so they needed some time apart before being brought back together. We went on to meet and feed Mono, Bamchito (I believe that was his name sorry little guy if I misspelled it or got it wrong), Erin and other family members. It was wild feeling the thump (lightly) on your body as they’d excitedly jump down on to you so you could feed them sunflower seeds. Highly recommend spending some time with Capuchin monkeys if you can! Then we went to the gift shop and bought some beautiful sloth souvenirs from the staff there to take home to our loved ones. Sloths are my spirit animal, pretty much my husband and children’s too. We also bought the many photos the lovely photographer who followed us around during our time at the park. You don’t have to they don’t pressure to buy a thing but once you see the beautiful things they have and the gorgeous photos you’ll gladly spend your money for some souvenirs and photos to remind you of the precious memories you just made. From there we hopped back in the van with Ryan O’Bryan. He took us to a couple of more beautiful vistas and took some photos and then back to port. All done in plenty of time before the boat left and we never felt rushed. I do recommend when you are first picked up and you choose a tour that includes a tour of the city that you tell your guide as soon as you’re in the van that you’d like to eat. Great home style cooked native island food.15 out of 10 stars recommend Manawakie Eco Park tours and all their staff💙♥️💙

A very worthwhile company to use in Roatan. We came on a Viking cruise and I was looking for something different than what they offered. I researched online and found this company which offered an encounter with wildlife. I read their positive reviews and decided to book with them. They picked us up at the cruise port as they said they would. We had some sightseeing of the small island on our way to snorkeling. We came to a beautiful little beach resort equipped with a bar and a few friendly dogs for us to love. We set out on a boat trip to snorkel. There was just the two of us on our tour and the boat and snorkeling driver was really helpful and nice is taking us snorkeling. We are seniors and he was extremely helpful to us. We loved the trip. Then we went for my highlight to the eco park to be greeted with smiling people to a little history of the island. Complete with a talk on herbs and medicinal remedies. Then we got to experience the capuchins, a sloth and a macaw. Holding a sloth was the most thrilling thing and the monkeys were a kick! It was a throughly great way to spend your time in Roatan. I would highly recommend this company.

Wonderful Amazing!! This was the best experience of the whole cruise! We got to play with the monkeys and hold a sloth. Our driver, Fernando was amazing. He took us all over the island and waited for us on each excursion. We did the sloths and monkeys, the ziplining which was amazing and the beach. Was better than I could have expeced!

Awesome animals This was even better than I expected. William was our driver for the day and Teddy Bear our guide for the animals. They both provided a lot of great information about the island. We got to see monkeys, macaws but the sloths were the BEST! Others on the ship said they got to hold a sloth for a minute but we got lots of time to hang out with the sloth. Flash was the best! They also took a ton of awesome pictures of us with the animals and were very reasonably priced for us to buy them. I definitely plan to do this again when I return.
