This was an amazing experience. We rented a private boat through Charles who gave us a great price. his communication skill are excellent and he goes above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly. on the boat we had a host, a dj, a photographer, and a dancer lol. I believe this was the best excursion I have ever had. and Charles made the experience happen. I wish I could deal with him for every country I went to. If you are not dealing with Charles you are not doing it right.

Where do I even start? This was a birthday day out that completely ruined a birthday for someone special. We paid $158 for a catamaran which was supposed to include food (chicken skewers, potato salad, snack) and an open bar amongst things that should have been common sense like SEATING, a relaxed yet fun day and actual space to roam aboard. None of that was provided. We had to reach out the morning of for someone to pick us up from our hotel. The excursion didn’t start at 2pm, started after 3pm. As soon as we got dropped off at the location it was complete chaos. We weren’t told who to speak to where to go.. there were just crowds of confused people just following others. They basically gathered loads of people (during Covid) all together and I mean LOADS of people onto four boats lined up and they PACKED those boats to and beyond full capacity (during Covid). We pulled off with people having no where to sit and I do mean no where to sit so lots of people had to stand. Couples were sitting on top of each other and to make matters worse after we were some yards out two more small boats pulled up dropping even more people onto the boat! None of the food promised was provided so we arrived hungry and didn’t eat until after we got back to our hotel. Someone walked around with a small plate of watermelon and pineapples for people to grab from. There was no open bar just two jars of juice that everyone had to pour from. Apparently govt shut down alcohol being served on the boat the day before so we couldn’t argue with that but none of the pictures of anything that said was included was provided. Even after coming back ashore again there was no guidance. We had to go ask how are we supposed to get back and we were then told where to go. This company is just in it for the money. They don’t care about the experience you receive, your comfort level, your safety or your health. Not to mention we weren’t even directed to where life jackets on the boat were in case of an emergency. I took videos of the crowds and multiple boats coming to drop more people onto the boat but TripAdvisor only allows you to upload photos. I have been on multiple catamarans in beautiful places and this excursion was the worst excursion even outside of catamarans that I have ever experienced. We even overheard others saying they only paid $40 to board while we paid $79/each for this horrible experience. We will be requesting a refund for the time, birthday and money wasted.

Just be careful. Booked a boat charter. Gave deposit $100. You can’t make this up. Go to lobby asking for where to get picked up. Looks at my ticket and asks me for the other $200 due. Taxi drive then asks me for the $200. Get to marina. Another guy asks me for the $200. There was no boat! Great learning experience. Lost the $100. But my 17 year old learned a great lesson.

This was by far the worst excursion I have ever been on. We spent 8 hours in the car. The listing says 2.5 hours but they made us change busses 4 times to get there and it was 5 hours there because we went way out of the way. On the way back it took 3.5 hours and we missed our dinner reservation. The itinerary says 2.5 hours there and back and a 10 hour trip total so 5 hours in the city. Nope. 8.5 hours in the car and maybe like 3 hours total for all of our stops. The different vans/busses we took were dirty and gross. They had garbage in them and one smelt really bad. Not to mention each bus was jam-packed with people. Had to sit next to someone I didn’t even know in the midst of COVID due to that. Every person on the tour spoke English, but the tour guide spoke Spanish mostly to the two people who were bilingual so we didn’t really learn very much. The tour guide left us multiple times and we were stuck waiting for him or looking for him- we found him one time and he was at a bar drinking a beer. The entire thing felt like a giant money grab. They will take any change they can get to literally force you through some attraction that costs extra money or concession stands/ gift shops, etc. We were taken from store to store with extremely pushy sales people. We were forced to wait at one store for almost 40 minutes! We were all ready to go but weren’t allowed to leave. We came to see the city- not to shop at whatever store the tour company made deals with. A few places we literally saw them hand our tour guide money for bringing us there. The food was not good either. There were only a few things at the “buffet” and they give you one tiny drink. This was such a waist of one of my last days in the DR. Had I known it would mostly been a long car trip in an uncomfortable overpacked van I would have never gone in the first place. It was a complete ripoff and the vendor refused to give a refund stating “the tour was provided as advertised in the tour description” but I can 100% guarantee you that it was not.
