The entertainment presented is where trained monkeys perform various acts which revolve around the coconut tree which include scurrying up and down trees and helping to pluck the fruits.
Their acts are not limited to the coconut plucking. Some also play the guitar and even lip synch songs. A dedicated monkey theatre provides audiences with amusing shows where monkeys display their learned tricks. Monkey shows are also followed by an elephant show, providing entertainment to not only children but all those young at heart. These shows are scheduled thrice a day leaving ample time to explore the beauty that Koh Samui has to offer.
