He make me a good price, his crew is very good, he don’t say some good things juste to sell the trip.I like his honesty. I caught a lot of fish. I recommend this charter any time!!! Tx again Bartelo

Great experience and a must do! Captain Bart provided transportation to and from our hotel. Willy and Jacob made sure we were comfortable on board with snacks and drinks. They are very friendly and knowledgeable and did their best to get us to the areas where the fish were biting. You may decide to try the full day experience so you can go out farther. We will surely be back next year for another adventure! This company truly treats you like a friend!

I am deathly afraid of the ocean, so why not paddle board?? The owner Richard spent alot of time with me to get the basics...then stayed right with me all around the bay. IT WAS AMAZING!!!! I was able to get out on the water and stay up the whole time. Looking down the coral and fish were absolutely beautiful. I can't wait to get out there again....thanks again Richard for everything ????????????.. Bringing my spouse next week for lessons.

We were in town for a cruise and we booked this shore excursion through the website before the cruise. We had a great experience. We had 14 in our group the oldest was 62 and youngest was 4. No matter the age everyone had a great time. Our tour guide Michael was amazing. He was patient with the kids and very knowledgeable as far as facts about our ride. The buggy’s were very roomy and the route was beautiful views. I would recommend this to anyone. We stopped at a local house and had local beer and also were able to buy local cigars. When you are in town book with these people and you will not be disappointed.

First we will stop at the mini zoo, see the typical animals, birds and then continue to the plantation. amazed with the plantation you can also enjoy different fruits The next stop is at Playa Caleton where the waters are calm and crystal clear then we continue to the blue dudu lagoon here are a different ways to enjoy the pool. There are several platforms of varying height which allow you to jump into the water (the tallest platform is quite the rush!) Or you can hang onto a metal frame zip line and let go when you’re zooming over the water. There are also stairs that allow access into the pool if you don’t want to jump or take a zip line. In the thick humidity of the Dominican Republic, the cool water of the lagoon is more than refreshing. Plus, it’s fun to watch others in your group jump into the water from the platforms while you swim. Then stop in playa grande to have lunch and enjoy the beach.

Inclusions: Lunch

Priceless. Everything was good. The speed boat ride to the island, snorkeling, the clear water, blue skies. Best place to take a loved one. Such a small island feels like it's your private island and beach. A place you can propose to your future wife. I will definitely be going back.

The waterfalls were AMAZING! The hike up and walking through the water was beautiful. The zip lines were on the country side and some of them were very short but none the less still really fun with some amazing views. The horseback riding was okay. They gave minimal instructions and the horses seemed exhausted. The one thing that truly upset me was watching our guide throw a plastic water bottle in a ditch (on the property) when we were starting our ride. One major thing that needs improvement is the amount of trash and empty water bottles/cans/trash scattered throughout the zip lining area and the trail (dirt road) we went on for the horseback riding. If I could do it again I would just do the waterfall and zip lining.
