What a fantastic place. This is most definitely one of the most cleanest, tidiest sanctuaries we have ever been to - the attention to detail is excellent (such as metal monkeys supporting the handrails around the enclosures!). The whole place was relaxed and well laid out with a gravel path around the whole site. Every member of staff were friendly... More

This is one of the best monkey havens we've been to. The animals look really content and everything is nicely set out with plenty of space for the animals. We have been here twice now and they are constantly adding and updating the animal housing which is great to see. There is a nice little tea room which, if you... More

Absolutely brilliant day out. I have NEVER been to anywhere that was kept so spotless, clean & tidy. The animals were fascinating to see & also to hear - who knew gibbons & monkey could sing like that?! The staff were friendly & knowledgable. Altogether a lovely day out.

This is our second visit to the Haven and again it did not disappoint. The Primates seem very happy and well looked after. The happy conclusion to Martin and Lulu's living quarters is a new edition. We only got a glimpse of the baby but worth the wait. It is encouraging to see that the haven are building new updated... More

The sun was shining and it was wonderful to see so many happy animals and birds. Plenty of seating close to the animals for those who can not stand too long. Very informative, helpful staff. Opportunities to stroke an owl during animal lectures. Very relaxing would return whenever on the island

This was a very clean and family friendly attraction. The staff were very helpful and informative. Happy to answer all the questions we had about the monkeys and birds. Well worth the relatively small fee. Great for a visit on way back to, or way from the ferry. We loved it and would definitely return again to see the entertaining... More

Cant believe what some people write. We visited the Haven and had a great time, my wife had to pull me away from some of the monkeys. There were some that did just sit there, but it's not a circus. As for 20 minutes to see all, well they must of had their eyes closed. I'm sure I would hate... More

Perfect for a half day visit on our way to the ferry. Very well kept, good disabled access and friendly staff. Tea shop does a good range of light snacks at a reasonable price, and coped cheerfully well with our order for 19 people. I have to agree that it is a lot of money for what could be a... More

Beautifully clean & tidy attraction - it is obviously quite new. Good selection of owl & monkeys but I feel uneasy about the owls being caged. The monkeys have large cages and they swing around. There is little space for the owls to fly. I did see one owl with only one eye - maybe the owls are there because... More
