Fun but more travel than snorkeling - spent a long time on bus, transfers/pickups & boat than time snorkeling. Crew made it fun with dancing but if you have teens/kids there was down-time. Food was good, music was a bit loud. Overall had a good time.

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

My husband & I make a point to go to this "compound" every year when we go to Punta Cana. This location has great prices for chocolate, real vanilla, rum, coffee, cigars and general souvenirs. You can schedule free transportation from your resort to this shopping area on their website (tips appreciated). Staff is always friendly and helpful. This outing will only take a couple hours and is absolutely worth it.

You have to be up by 6:30am for your driver to pick you up from hotel but it is well worth it. Pedro was an awesome driver. Be sure to bring gratuity,it’s the only thing that’s not included as the host (workers) will be taking beautiful pics, selling fresh coconuts n pineapples as well as massages. (They work for small tips) Lunch was good enough for me but I would advise one to eat before leaving. You could ask for as much food as you like when getting the lunch that’s included. Good vibes and great time!!! We will definitely be going back again soon.
