This was an awesome experience! Our guide, George, and our driver, Nelson were so great! George was very entertaining and funny, but also taught us a lot about the Dominican Republic history and culture. We learned a lot on this trip. The monkey experience was one of the coolest things that I've ever done! We also got to learn about the making of coffee and chocolate, as well as how they make coconut oil. This was very memorable. If you book this trip, I highly recommend that you request George and Nelson. You will not be disappointed!

Before you go to any excursion in Punta Cana or Bahayibe check if your agency works with this boat company COSTA ROMÂNTICA (romantic coast). For me and my friends was NIGHTMARE COST, the worse excursion I have ever done in my life. In 12 hours we only spent around 2 in the island. The boat was very slow and the staff incredibly nasty and arrogant. The worse was the music, not only bad but extremely loud. Almost everybody was complaining about the absurd loud sound, but the crew was just ignoring. Was almost 3 hours to go and 3 to come back listening a very loud and poor quality sound. Costumer service and satisfaction was TOTALY ignored. It was suppose to be a relaxing Caribbean excursion, but instead was a torture. A boat terrible experience louder than a disco (and I love discos) The food in the island horrible and without higiene. And there is no Corona care at all in that place. So, AVOID any trip with this company, check before what boat company your promoter or agency travel will use and run away if it is this one. I cannot say if all the “Saona excursions” was like these, but we hated. The island is beautiful but not amazing for all this bad experience. If you really wanna visit I totaly recommend renting a private boa and bringing your own food. In the end of the day we spent money, time, patience and were totaly exposed to corona virus risks for a place and experience that was not worth it.

We are just Ecologist tours Guides focus in Nature and with experience in ecotourism. Focus in wildlife and History of Humans with impact in this area. Teaching what we know about nature is our Pasion. Extravagant landscapes and postcard-worthy waters make this place one of the Hispaniola’s most hallowed (and protected) sites. Untouched virgin rainforests house untold pleasures, while the unforgettable waters of shimmering Lorenzo Bay, the petroglyphs of the caverns, and the wilds of the mangrove swamps will deeply impress visitors. Any trip to Los Haitises is special, but for bird-watchers, the park is a treasure trove of frigate birds, parrots, owls, brown pelicans, and royal terns. Winged wildlife flock by the hundreds around the bay’s transparent waters, and the mangrove swamps provide a safe home for all sorts of small sea creatures.

Inclusions: Local Lunch with Locals food, Natural pools in los haitises , Transfer for Punta Cana areas

Exclusions: Private transfers upon request with extra charges

During our visit to El Limon we met an incredible person, Juan Emilio. Not only he speaks five languages well, is very polite, thoughtful, knowledgeable, he is also a very kind human being. He didn’t push anything, told us lovely stories and fun details along the way. On the way back, Juan Emilio and his beautiful 9 year old daughter ( who ran to meet him on the mountain), picked up all trash along the way (cups, bottles, bags) to keep their natural treasure (El Limon Waterfall) beautiful. True stewards of nature, taking care of their community just from the goodness of their heart, nothing else. Juan Emilio does many great tours and can show you hidden treasures of Samanta region and beyond. Contact me for his WhatsApp contact. Promise you, you won’t be disappointed

We’ll travel from Samaná to Rincón beach, with beautiful white sand and turquoise water, where we’ll have time to swim and then savour a delicious beachside lunch with spiny lobster at one of the country’s most beautiful spots. After lunch, we can go horse riding or snorkelling in the sea. Finally, we’ll visit one of the most beautiful islands in the Dominican Republic, Cayo Levantado. There you can enjoy the magical crystal-clear waters, which have served as a backdrop from many ads and films, and which will now be part of your most unforgettable memories.

We bought this through Coming2 at our resort. It was not advertised as a buggy tour but as a cave, buggy, beach, and horseback tour. The buggy we were given is not what you see in the pictures but an old metal buggy that had tape holding wires together and the motor was mounted behind our head. We asked multiple times for a different buggy, like you see in the pictures, and were told no. We were about six inches off the ground and had to sit on our beach towels to keep from burning ourselves on the hot seats. We were glasses and masks but still had so much dirt in our face that it was hard to see and breathe. Considering the majority of the time was spent in the buggy, we were miserable and I would not recommend this tour.
