Outstanding time! - July was our tour guide. He did a great job! We were actually the only ones on the excursion that booked for the afternoon. So, less people will be there if you want your experience to be more attentive. This is definitely one where you get to do multiple things during your experience. Feed a multitude of different animals, horse ride, ride through their canal, and they will take tons of photos on your phone for you. I didn’t feel pressured to purchase anything and it was overall just a great experience. I would highly recommend! The only aspect to watch out for is you may have to wait in the afternoon for the morning excursion to finish. We waited 45 minutes so make sure you bring plenty of water. It’s HOT! Make sure you tip July. He does an amazing job and goes above and beyond!

Best excursion in Punta Cana!! - We went on this excursion with my almost 2 year old toddler and he had a blast. Not only did we see a ton of animals but my son was able to interact with most of them, either petting them or feeding them. He was able to do everything! He even milked a cow! Our river ride was so much fun, we all jumped in the water! At the end we got to try local banana, mango and cacao fruits from their trees. The staff was so friendly and took great care of us and especially my son. This is a great excursion for families and especially those with younger children. I highly recommend to all!

EXCELLENT TOUR ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE SMALL KIDS - Family went on the ECO TOUR today. 2yo and a4yo I can not say enough great things about this tour... great friendly staff. Feed animals baby sheep and pigs saw a horse show and bull exhibit. They took pictures with the monkeys. Swang in a swing on the top of a mountain/ hill.Went horseback riding which was amazing. They let the Littles ride with an adult. It was a good half hour ride then a raft ride. Ate bananas and cacao. They had a Dominican plantation home tour with hot chocolate and coffee. I don't know why this tour does not get the traffic of interest as the others. HALF DAY TOUR. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

We had a wonderful time at Eco Park with 4 young children. - We travelled with 4 young grandchildren ages 8 yr down to 21 months. They all loved Eco Park - there was something for everyone.. Hightlights were feeding the animals, and boating on the river.

Awesome up close experience with farm animals - What a wonderful experience, my little toddler had an awesome time. Also, is the adult we had a great time. The timing of the tour was just right about 4hours, so the kids don’t get too tired and starts to feel bored. We went there in the morning about 9:20 am. Weather was on our side , it was raining a bit which was great. Otherwise, it would have been very humid and disgusting because the entire tour is outdoor and in the field. We were greeted and they gave us the bracelet. Then, our bus arrived . We did 15 activities and spent about 5-12 minutes each. Started off with riding a swing over a valley, and standing on a glass tiles over a valley too. Take some pictures and then the day started. We fed the goats and pigs, milked the cow, watched a short horse show, got close to monkeys and took some pictures. Did a horse back riding for a short distance. Got a ride on a bamboo boat, and we were offered to swim in the water if we wanted to but didn’t. Amazing experience especially if you have little ones. One thing to consider wear light clothing and water shoe or a shoe that you could walk around with in the mud. You are allowed to take pictures of everything except the monkey part, which was very disappointing. However, a photographer was with us from the beginning until the monkey activity was done, but we weren’t sure how much we will be charged for the pictures. After we finished the day. The package cost for all the pictures in digital format was $30 US, which we didn’t mind but if they told us from the beginning we would have allowed the photographer to take more photos of us. Also, it would been nice for him to stay all the way through. This is a suggestion for the park management.

Great experience - Eco Park was a unique, fun, and amazing experience. The animals are all well taken care of, and provided a large amount of space/land to live in. Everything was well organized and enjoyable. From feeding the goats, pigs, and birds, to milking a cow, petting a bull, & watching the horse show. My only recommendation is to educate staff more on the animals & allow tourists to enjoy their time without being rushed. At times we were rushed to go to the next section & didn’t get the opportunity to fully enjoy a certain experience.

Initial hiccups, but a good time - This was a great experience! Make sure you reach out if you don't get confirmation from the operator directly - we waited for the bus and it turned out they didn't see our Viator reservation. Called the number and no one spoke English, but our hotel concierge was nice enough to talk to them on our behalf and was able to get them to pick us up the next morning. Regardless or that hiccup, the excursion was great if you don't mind a little workout and love animals. It was like multiple excursions in one - feeding animals, tasting local coffee and naturally grown fruit, riding horses, and kayaking (if you want) were all an included part of the trip. Kids had a great time, especially with the monkeys and piglets. I would definitely recommend!

Nice place, but disappointed and not worth the money. - Park is very clean. Animals are well kept. However, the tour is very rushed and overbooked. No more than 5 to 10 minutes in a station and not true do what you want when you want. It's more like here you are 5 minutes....sorry no time to take pictures with the monkeys...next station...back on the bus. It was sad. The animals are beautiful and really wanted to spend more time in the dog sanctuary.
