'''Ape Atoll''' is an island that is located in southern [[Gielinor]]. It is inhabited by Monkeys, who are ruled over by [[King Awowogei]]. Its capital city is [[Marim]]. It is only accessible to players who have started the [[Monkey Madness]] quest. Players who have not taken the form of a monkey using a [[monkey greegree|greegree]] will find that all [[non-player character]]s will be aggressive, regardless of the player's combat level. It should also be noted that almost all of the monsters here are [[poison]]ous and can do high damage. Therefore this area is '''extremely dangerous''' and players should be well prepared before going here.

Players who wanted to travel back to Ape Atoll after Monkey Madness used to have to accept Daero's reward first (which includes attack, strength, defence and Constitution experience) or wait for an [[Evil Tree]] to appear there. However, a recent update allows players who have completed the quest to speak with Daero and travel to Ape Atoll without accepting the experience reward. This change was made for pures who do not wish to gain unwanted levels. The [[Evil Tree]] [[Distraction and Diversion]] is an alternate way to get back to the island after Monkey Madness. On [[9 November]] [[2009]] some roofing on Ape Atoll was corrected.

==Getting there==
[[File:Ape Atoll gate.png|right|thumb|The entrance to [[Marim]], town of the monkeys.]]
There are four ways of getting to Ape Atoll:
*Traveling via [[Daero]] at the first floor of the [[Grand Tree]] (East next to Blurberry) to [[Crash Island]], and then sailing to Ape Atoll.
*The teleportation spell [[Teleport to Ape Atoll]], requiring level 64 [[Magic]] (after completing the [[King Awowogei]] part of [[Recipe for Disaster]]).
*Teleporting to the [[Ape Atoll Agility Course|Agility course]] using the [[fairy ring]] code C-L-R (after completing [[Fairy Tale III]]). A small [[Monkey greegree (ninja)|ninja monkey greegree]] is required to get through the log shortcut to the agility course and the rest of the island.
*Using a [[Spirit tree]] to teleport to an [[Evil Tree]] on the south part of the island, not recommended at all, but it is used by 1 defence pures who want to do a part of [[Recipe for Disaster]].

==Island Features==
===Prison===
{{Main|Ape Atoll prison}}
Players are thrown in prison as a part of the [[Monkey Madness]] quest. Players should avoid the two prison guards - [[Trefaji]] and [[Aberab]] - at all costs. If not avoided, players will be beaten back into their cell, causing up to 200 damage and foiling their attempts to escape. The prison is also home to a group of three laid-back gnomes of [[Lumo]], [[Bunkdo]] and [[Carado]]. The corner of the prison is a small room where players can hide from the guards after escaping, and is home to a tiny poisonous level 1 spider. Players can escape their cell (they will also be thrown into the same cell) by picking the lock, and escape the building while the guards are changing shifts. The guards take it in turns to patrol while the other waits in the guardroom. They will go down the passage to the cells where they will pace up and down two times before returning to the guardroom to change shifts.

===The Temple===
{{main|Temple of Marimbo}}

Also known as the [[Temple of Marimbo|The temple of Marimbo]]. Located at the north-east corner of the city, the temple is home to several [[Monkey Guard]]s. The temple is a very popular training area, due to the fact that there are two prayer altars inside. Players can use the [[Protect from Melee]] prayer to avoid damage and battle the Monkey Guards without taking damage. Monkey Guards will beat their chests to restore life points, making the temple an effective long-term training location. Up the stairs near the altar is [[Hafuba]], on the top floor you can find [[Lofu]] and [[Denadu]] and in the north-west corner there are the three monkeys: [[Three wise monkeys|Iwazaru]], [[Three wise monkeys|Kikazaru]], and [[Three wise monkeys|Mizaru]], who are involved in the [[Recipe for Disaster#Awowogei|Freeing Awowogei]] subquest of the [[Recipe for Disaster]] quest.

Tip: When training and you find you have no food left, you can go to the red banana tree to the west and pick the bananas and slice them. This provides you with a never-ending food source. (The bananas grow back each time). To do this, you need a knife, a rope, and a monkey guard greegree.

===Marketplace===
{{Main|Ape Atoll marketplace}}
The marketplace has several stalls, some of which can be stolen from for [[Thieving]] [[experience]]. There is also one [[general store]].

*[[Daga's Scimitar Smithy]] - one of only four known sources of the [[Dragon scimitar|Dragon Scimitar]], obtaining them from PvP or trade with another player, buying one from [[Dealga]] , in Varrock, and for players who have completed the quest Do No Evil, you may pickpocket a [[Monkey knife fighter|Monkey Knife Fighter]] for a rare chance of obtaining a Dragon Scimitar.
*[[Tutab's Magical Market]] - Runes and other magical items.
*[[Hamab's Crafting Emporium]] - Crafting moulds.
*[[Solihib's Food Stall]] - Banana-based food.
*[[Ifaba's General Store]] - General items.

===Agility Course===
{{main|Ape Atoll Agility Course}}

The Ape Atoll has the best training ground for medium level (70-75 is recommended to begin training here, unless using surefooted aura) [[Agility]] training (up to level 80, after that the [[Dorgesh-Kaan]] course is a better choice). With lower agility levels, the failure rate on the obstacles here makes efficient training infeasible. A [[monkey greegree (ninja)|ninja greegree]] is required for access to the course. While players can bring [[cat]]s with them to Ape Atoll, if they attempt the agility course with a cat out, they will receive a message saying "Your little friend can't make it over the obstacle ... so you pick it up" and their cat will be put in their [[inventory]].

This place is ideal for the [[surefooted aura]] as players 48-70 can get the max exp rate for 20 min which is around 16-18k exp. This is an easy 1-3 levels for 20min for work and is highly recommended for agility levels 48+.

===Hardwood Trees===
Ape Atoll features a decent supply of hardwood trees. Just outside the main gate there is a [[mahogany tree]]. A bit south there is another mahogany tree. Also, on the south-east part of the island, there are three [[teak tree]]s. The mahogany tree is reasonably close to the Ape Atoll teleport. The teak trees are not as conveniently located, but by using a [[Ring of duelling|duelling ring]] to teleport to Al Kharid and then the Gnome glider system, trips to the bank and back to the teak trees can be made in as little as ninety seconds. Interestingly, when a player cuts the trees in monkey form, there is no swinging of a hatchet, but the logs are acquired.

The teak trees are very good for [[woodcutting]] [[experience]] once a player's Woodcutting level is above 90. Many players train to level 99 by [[power levelling]] on these teak trees: simply cut and drop. It is possible to gain over 75,000 experience points per hour doing this. A great way to do this is to go in the middle of the 2 close teak trees and repeat chopping them.

This has become a [[Special mahogany log#Financial_Considerations|very good place]] to train woodcutting while making money for those who have completed the quest [[Deadliest Catch]], as they now have access to a bank deposit box very close to the hardwood trees.

===Fishing===

There is one fishing location where you can catch Sharks and Bass. This can be a good spot if you wish to catch sharks away from the crowds in Catherby and the Fishing Guild if you have completed Deadliest catch. The spot never disappears,it just moves from spot to spot.

===Jungle flora and fauna===
In addition to the hardwood trees:

'''Flora:'''
* [[Pineapple]] trees - useful for emergency food, only if you have a [[knife]]
* Jungle bush
* Tropical tree
* Jungle grass
* Jungle plant
* Roots
* Creeping plant
*[[Banana]] tree
*Banana tree (after inspecting King Awowogei in [[Lumbridge]], it is known as [[Red banana]] tree)
'''Fauna:'''
* [[Jungle snake]] (level 37)
* [[Jungle spider]] (level 52)
* [[Scorpion (38)|Scorpion]] (level 61)
* [[Bird (Ape Atoll)|Bird]] (level 5 and level 11)

===Ape Atoll Dungeon===
The entrance to the [[Ape Atoll Dungeon]] is found in the jungle area. The NPCs in this multiway combat dungeon are a great place to use [[red chinchompa]]s for some extremely fast ranged training. The monsters are aggressive and roam around in a multiway combat area, so a single projectile can hit multiple targets with substantial overall damage and the corresponding high ranged experience rates. Players can also use [[Ice Burst]] there to gain similarly fast Magic experience. [[Ice Barrage]] is a faster alternative than Burst. However, Ice Barrage has a high cost. Bring lots of anti poisons because they poison quite often.

==Trivia==
*Ape Atoll is, in fact, not an atoll at all. An atoll is a coral reef surrounding a shallow lagoon, while Ape Atoll is simply an island. It was most likely given the name "Atoll" to create an alliteration.
*There is an unknown ship just east of Lumdo. It is unknown who owns this ship, but it seems to have a human figurehead. It also somewhat resembles the ships that Trader Stan owns, however it is smaller than his other ships. It is most likely the larger ship most of the gnomes sailed to Ape Atoll to after their crash onto [[Crash Island]].
*King Awowogei is actually an object, not an NPC, as he doesn't have a yellow dot on the mini map and (if you look closely) doesn't move unless you talk to him.
*Ape Atoll's very existence is likely a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Monkey Island (series)|Monkey Island]] series of games made by [[Wikipedia:LucasArts|LucasArts]].
*On Ape Atoll, while wielding any monkey greegree, you cannot receive a random event.
*While on Ape Atoll, if you are wielding a Polypore staff you will be given a mages mask.
