Morning Coffee with a surprising view
You can watch wild green monkeys in their natural habitat at Welchman Hall Gully where a large troop calls the gully their home. You can also see them at the Barbados Wildlife Reserve, where you can watch them during feeding time at 11am and 2pm daily. They actually watch visitors with as much interest as we watch them.
Waking up in a villa in Barbados feels like a dream, but add a few playful green monkeys to the mix, and it’s pure magic. While this surprises mosts travelers, these primates have been hanging around the island since the 17th century, when they came to the island as pets, Now they roam free in camouflage against lush green leaves. Step out onto the terrace with your morning coffee, and you might spot a troop curiously watching from a distance. Sometimes, they’ll even put on a little show—chasing each other, foraging for fruit, or just being cheeky.
