Top Dominican Republic Day Trips - page 30

Great experience on this tour. We visited a farm with horseback riding, the Basilica, the local market in Punta Cana (which was my favorite because of the diversity!) a Cocao Plantation, Cigar Making Shop, a wonderful restaurant next to a river and a public beach. Our guides were amazing with Luis Garcia being our driver and Donelo giving us the history behind our visits. Luis was personable, hilarious and full of life! He made the trip so much fun! Know that there is a lot of driving, so it does extend the time. I was picked up on the far side of Cap Cana at 7:10am and returned back around 4pm. Communication was great! I would definitely do this again. It gave me a true view of Dominican Life, Food and Culture.

Had an absolute blast with the Choco Latte family. Daniella, Jonathan, Emil and Choco Latte were awesome. Daniella meet us outside of Taino Bay and guide us to our transportation. The bus had AC, was clean and well equipped. They provided water upon arrival. Daniella provided some DR facts during the ride and we listened to some DR music. The hike is about 30-40 min, but you get multiple breaks. Sliding down the waterfalls was exciting and awesome. This was my first time doing an excursion like this. My recommendation. Get some good water shoes with thicker soles, as you will be walking across rocks. It is best if you know how to swim because when you slide down the waterfall you will go underwater. You do have a life vest, so you will float, but knowing how to swim prepares you for how to react once you hit the water. We did 3 smaller water slides and one long one that was 18ft high. You have the option to slide or jump and they even have stairs to climb down. There were several kids that were terrified and climbed down during my excursion. I would definitely do it again. After we left the waterfalls, we had a Dominican lunch at a restaurant. The food was delicious. Next we visited a small farm were they rolled cigars. We had the mammajana drink, tasted chocolate and did a little but of shopping. Over all a really good experience. The excursion is just as described. Also, we paid a lot less booking through Viator instead of the cruise ship.

Booked the small group trip but we were upgraded to private tour which was fantastic as we had our own driver and tour guide so we were able to make excellent use of time and got chance to do all the attractions. Lunch was included, again this was great. Thanks so much for a fantastic historical day out
