Let me just say, that i have done ATV tours many times, in DR, Mexico, etc... when i say - this one is different - i mean it! Ride along the beautiful beach under coconut palms... enjoy fresh air - not dust, stop for a swim at a private beach, visit local villagers. Try local food. Learn about Coconut oil making along the way... and i even bought a real machete from a local shop. 3.5 hours of pure riding - even my two teenage sons were satisfied. Great tour guides who were there to answer questions along the way. Under 1 hour ride from most hotels in a comfortable bus. Well worth the time and money spent. Recommendations - wear long pants - engines can get pretty hot and your calfs will feel it. Cover back of your neck with bandana - it will get burned. Observe how locals dress - they know best. Sunscreen for your face and arms and ears. Sunglasses. And make sure you bring cash for your guides and for shopping. Fresh marakuya juice and crab empanadas purchased from locals were a very nice snack. Highly recommend. Dima and Rustam - your guides are the best!

I’m not one to write reviews however the experience we had with Charles was beyond amazing!! This was our first time working with Charles and he assured us we would be in good hands. He planned and coordinated all of our excursions and helped us navigate a few last minute changes on our end. His communication and attention to detail is priceless and I’m only booking with Charles moving forward.

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

Phenomenal tour! We saw the Tres Ojos, the Presidential Palace, Christopher Colombia final Reston place, Zonia Colonia...and so much more. It was a private tour with just my daughter and myself. Our guide provided water, hand sanitizer, and sanitizing wipes. Masks were on at all time. He answered every question and gave us tips on negotiating with vendors. Phenomenal!

5 day Salkantay trek was so cool and lots of fun. Despite doing it in the rainy season we still had fun. The trek itself didn't seem too difficult of you have already acclimated in Cusco or previously trekked in South America. It was more feeling tired by day 5. The tour was very well organized, good camping accommodation, loads of food. The extra activities of the thermal baths and ziplining really made it. Cheers guys. Mucho gusto.

Fun trip. The transportation was a little screwed up-- we spent forty five minutes waiting at a collection point for vans to arrive with guests from other resorts to join the main bus to Bayahibe. The boat was run down, and the Bayahibe Beach launching point is full of scamsters trying to sell you cheap souvenirs. We got water and basic sandwiches as snacks. Long boat ride, with a detour up the Chavon River that was completely pointless. Stopped for a half hour of snorkeling off the back of the boat. Okay, mostly fish trained to come around as they threw white bread overboard. On to the island. Decent beach, but extremely rocky/coral and not great swimming.

Great value for what we got! I would normally dock a star for communication, but that kind of issue is SO common around here, it's not like the competition is likely to do better, and again, for the money, I can't complain. But here are my tips for this excursion if you decide to go: - Yes, it will be VERY muddy. They bring you purposely along muddy areas for the fun of it, so wear old clothes and washable shoes. Also put your items in a waterproof bag (we brought freebie vinyl knapsacks my kids were given from old soccer leagues) - Wear those ugly "river sandals" for the cave swim. We all bought pairs at Wal-Mart for $8 each before the trip... they have hard soles and rubber or nylon straps, so you can wear them on any surface but also in the water without them coming off. The bottom of the cave pool is rough and rocky. But amazing! - At the cave, do NOT let the guys with the parrot get you do photos with them. It's a trick. You'll see other visitors with a parrot on their arm or shoulder, and think, "oh cool, a free perk!" It's not. The parrot owners offer to take your photo using your phone, and you're happy till they take back the parrot and demand $20 PER PERSON who was in the photo. My weak husband forked over $40 for him and my son while my daughter and I were in the cave swim, but when I found out what happened, I went over and in Spanish chastised them and insisted they return the money, which they finally did. The tour operators apologized for it (the parrot dudes don't work for them, of course). If you really want the photo, tell them at the outset, "I will give you $5 to take a few photos of my family with the parrot" so that there are no arguments after. - They will give you water bottles halfway through! - Bring your own "gaiter" style mask with ear loops. It's much comfier than the $5 bandanas they will try to sell you at the beginning. Sunglasses and masks are a must because of the dust and mud flying around. - The transportation to/from your resort is an open-air bus. It's a fun, loud ride but not the safest! - The buggies are HARD to steer. You will need good arm strength. - You will get free samples of hot chocolate milk, coffee and the local liquor, "mamajuana." Sweet! Also some kind of bread. I REALLY recommend this excursion. For us, we wanted only something half-day because food is all-inclusive at our resort, so I didn't want something that included paying for another meal. I wanted to get a taste (literally) of the local culture, and do some amazing adventures. This trip delivers! -

Saona Island is a "must do" day trip if you are visiting the Dominican. It's a whole day adventure of speed boat / catamaran.... This island is breathtaking with the crystal clear waters and white sand. The natural pond doesn't have the star fish that they used, and very few there. We did find one, but are not allowed to take the fish above the water. Still an amazing experience!
