antigua's donkey sanctuary印象

Lovely to see all the rescued donkeys and here their stories from the staff! Definitely recommend hiring a car to get there!

We recently visited the sanctuary with our 9 month old daughter and she loved it as much as we did.A staff member took us into the enclosure and talked us through the history of some of the donkeys. It was clear that she loved her job.The donkeys were very friendly and enjoyed being petted.We were so taken by the experience that we decided to adopt a donkey!The sanctuary is free to enter and is a great place to spend an hour.

This is a great place. My 7 and 9 year old loved it! The lady that was there was very friendly. She spent a lot of time introducing us to the donkeys and having the kids brush them. The donkeys are very friendly and loving. She told us many stories about how some of them are (personality-wise), how some of them got there, and even how one of them became a movie star. She clearly loved her job and loved the animals. They had some items for sale which I felt obligated to buy (not by them but by my own conscience) in order to help them out. I would definitely go and support them.

Beautiful flatland for them to grace. Love animals, so any sanctuary is good! I would rather have local produce be produced there. But, love the donkeys too!

We visited the donkey sanctuary as part of a land Eco safari tour we were on. It is a little off the beaten track but the sanctuary is very nice. They are all happy and friendly donkeys. We had a brief introduction about the sanctuary and how it helps the donkeys. Then we were allowed to go into the field and stroke the donkeys. They are very friendly and come over and nudge you to be stroked. There are many wild donkeys roaming over the island as they are no longer needed to work. Worth a visit.

We visited the donkey sanctuary as part of a land tour we did, as per other reviews it is off the beaten track but well worth the pot holes and dirt road! We were taken around by a lovely lady who told us all about the sanctuary, and was very informative, she was telling us all the details whilst in amongst the donkeys themselves! The donkeys are very well looked after and very much loved, they are so friendly and loved being cuddled and petted. We had known about the adoption programme so left it to our 2 boys to chose a donkey each, so as a family we adopted Charley and July for $25 each for the year, well worth it as you can see the good work that is being done.

Nice to see people care & look after neglected donkeys. You can wander around & give the donkeys a fuss. Staff are good people. Donations are welcome but not pushed.

Thanks so much for your kind words. Glad you enjoyed your visit. We love what we do and I guess it shows!

Worth the trip to see and walk with the donkeys. Their history was informative and the lady guide was great.

There are over 160 donkeys in the sanctuary, however, you are allowed in the paddock with the quietest ones. Apparently, some are a bit naughty, and aren't keen on human contact. Never the less, they are all well looked after, and get three meals a day. Some have hard lives; some have been involved in road accidents; and some have been re-located because they have been a nuisance around villages. Also there are some "mini-makes", who have been born at the sanctuary.They are friendly, non offensive animals who don't ask for too much. At the sanctuary they are looked after, and a vet regularly inspects them for any ailments, and trims there hooves.The lady we saw is very committed to looking after her little charges, and knows most of them by name. There is a little donkey who is blind, but he is happy, and secure there.Overall - if you're an animal lover well worth a visit. The road to the sanctuary is a little rough - so take it steady!
