I have always loved going to our local zoo! We even have season passes so we can enjoy impromptu animal encounters around the world even in our own back yard. From a drive thru safari to spotting a sloth in a tree in Costa Rica to monkeys on your resort balcony, animal encounters around the world always bring the kids and me a squeal of delight!

Curious where you can hang with wild pigs, monkeys, sea turtles, and enjoy other animal encounters around the world? Well then, keep scrolling – we’ve got a lot of inspiration coming at you!

Monkeys

Experience the charm of monkeys in their natural Costa Rican habitat by visiting the Manuel Antonio National Park or embarking on a thrilling canopy tour in Monteverde.

Sloths

Costa Rica boasts magnificent wildlife, rainforests, and comfortable temperatures year-round. Get up-close-and-personal with sloths at the sloth refuge or the Palo Verde River Tour!

Exotic Pigs

Located in the Bahamas lives Exuma’s famous swimming pigs. How they inhabited the island isn’t known for sure – but they’re always happy to say hello!

Puerto Vallarta, Hawaii, Alaska – all home to some of the world’s best whale watching. Tours operate during whale migration season, so be sure to ask us the best time to book!
