What are people saying about Dominican Republic

Beautiful Experience!
We had an amazing time! The pace was great. We went to the first church in the DR which had beautiful architecture. We went horse back riding through the mountains, had an authentic Dominican meal by a river, went through a market with extra security, stopped by a cocoa and chocolate farm and saw a typical family house. Lastly we went to the beach. Me and my cousin who are in our early 30’s felt safe, secure and loved! It was a great cultural experience especially bc our resort is very isolated from the Dominican cultural experiences.

Loved it!
We LOVED our experience on this excursion! The staff was very helpful and attentive. Definitely worth the money and they even had someone to take photos for us so we didn’t need to worry about that part. Chocolate did such a great job with the photography. Absolutely recommend trying it out!

Book this tour immediately!!
My cultural tour in Higüey, Dominican Republic with Osvaldo was truly one of the highlights of my trip! From start to finish, it was an authentic and unforgettable experience.
Osvaldo was an incredible guide—knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about sharing the beauty and culture of the Dominican Republic. He made everyone feel comfortable and ensured we experienced the real local lifestyle, not just the tourist version.
The tour had so many unique and memorable moments. We enjoyed a peaceful horseback ride through the countryside, which was absolutely beautiful. Visiting the local farm was fascinating—we learned how Dominican cigars are made and got to see the process of coffee and chocolate making firsthand. Everything was fresh, local, and delicious!
One of my favorite parts was walking through the local market, where we got to see everyday Dominican life and try authentic products. The traditional Dominican lunch was incredible—flavorful, homemade, and a perfect way to experience the local cuisine.
We also had time to stop for souvenirs and pictures, capturing some amazing memories along the way. Osvaldo made sure everyone was enjoying themselves and never rushed the experience.
If you’re visiting Higüey, I highly recommend taking this cultural tour with Osvaldo. It’s the perfect way to truly connect with the Dominican culture, people, and traditions. This wasn’t just a tour—it was an experience I’ll remember forever!
It also included hotel pick up and drop off in the Punta Cana area

Book this trip!
This was a phenomenal day trip! We got to see so much of the country side and beautiful Dominican nature. Having lunch in a tree house and swimming in a waterfall we're my highlights! Our guide, Carlos, was energetic, very knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about sharing his culture with us. We learned so much! Jason, the photographer, was lovely to spend the day with and he took great photos! Definitely let him take your photo all day and the buy them at the end. Our driver, Jimmy was also great! This was one of my favourite excursions across multiple all-inclusive trips to Mexico, Costa Rica, and the Dominican Republic. Don't hesitate; book this trip! It was a good size group about 14. Be prepared for long drives though. If you are in Punta Cana, it will probably be 12+ hours. If you are in the Miche area, it will be quicker. There are some bumpy roads, so wear a sports bra.

The guides and crew were...
The guides and crew were friendly and accommodating. The trip to Saona Island was one of the highlights of our trip to the DR. There seemed to be less tourists on our Catamaran compared to others that we saw, which I consider a plus. I’d recommend tour to others.

Perfect! Make it what you want!
Guides Annie and Henry were excellent. They took our group of 7 in a comfy A/C van with no other pickups. We went to all the places except the beach because we already had a beachfront resort stay. They were flexible and paid attention to our level of energy and age groups. Truly a perfect half day trip with great photos by Annie. We tipped $30 USD at the end.

It was nice, the travel...
It was nice, the travel agent took us through all activities in his car, we were happy about it because we didn’t have to ride in a bus and wait in lines, as groups do, and afterward he took us to Macana beach and let us stay there for a while so we could enjoy. He also got me zip line and buggies experience tour more convenient, as they initially didn’t pick up from my hotel. And hotel-airport ride rate is normal

we had a wonderful experience
When I book the trip, I had my doubt since it seems it has less review than other excursions. but it turned out wonderful; our two drivers who picked us up from the hotel of punta cana mainly speak Spanish but they are super nice and friendly; and one of the highlight is the staff from the company constantly update us the schedule by text or whatsapp and make sure we get informed and offer help if we needed; another highlight is out tour guy, a local from Santo domingo who knew every corner of the city;he is vigorous and friendly; you can tell he love his job and his city; my father is a big coin and money collection guy and he is so nice to take us around to help us collect all pesos of DR with the locals and stores;
we had a wonderful experience

The BEST snorkeling experience in Sousa Bay
Every minute of this experience was absolutely wonderful!! We did snorkeling and Alex, Franklin and Poncho did everything they could to be sure we were having a positive experience we were picked up at the port and driven to a site that gave us positive snorkeling outcomes They offered 2 separate locations that gave us the opportunity to view lots of variety/colors of numerous fish they were very attentive to making sure we were safe every minute That was their primary concern so we could relax and totally enjoy all there was to see so many varieties of fish PLUS Alex took numerous underwater shots of us that will bring back so many memories of our underwater experience and all the varieties of fish we got close to!! You will be so glad to book an unforgettable excursion, one you will never forget!!

An exhausting day of fun and exploration with the best guide
The hike was strenuous but worth it. Wear water shoes. You'll be glad you did. Our guides were so helpful and kind. The perfect day in the DR! Hiking thru the rainforest, sliding and jumping from waterfalls, riding buggys thru town, on the beach, and thru mud plus a great tour of a cocoa farm. Such a great way to spend the day - totally exhausted afterwards.

The Opposite of Antiseptic Tourism!
Our guide, Robinson, said this tour is "No Mickey Mouse, no blah, blah, blah," and he was right. We rode in close quarters in a full van from Punta Cana through various small communities and on into Higuey. Robinson kept us informed about what we were seeing and where we were going. The horseback ride was short and fun. The cathedral was beautiful. The shop for buying souvenirs and the tour of the local marketplace were good. Lunch was tasty Dominican fare. The time spent at the traditional Dominican home on the mountain was very interesting. Visiting the cigar factory was fun - and a good place to buy cigars at a reasonable price. There was rain when we got to Macao Beach, so we didn't stay long. Overall, a great experience full of local flavor, and so much bank for the buck.

Its a great way to spend...
Its a great way to spend a little time being amused by small monkeys crawling all over you while you feed them! The tour company (Runners) was communicative and well organized. They picked up on time, had good drivers, entertaining guides, and provided a good experience at Monkeyland (which they own). They appear to treat the monkeys well, care about their health and well being (they will not let you in if you appear sick, etc.), and are protective of them. There is a little bit of a sales pitch during/after a demonstration of coffee and cocoa farming/processing, but even that was informative and entertaining (and my girlfriend bought several of the items). Overall, a great way to spend a day!

With its beaches, mountains, and colonial cities, the Dominican Republic practically begs to be explored beyond its resorts. Day trips from popular tourist areas like Punta Cana, Santo Domingo, and Puerto Plata offer adventures to suit every interest, from ziplining and ATV rides in the mountains to catamaran cruises to Saona Island. On Dominican Republic day trips, you can snorkel and sunbathe, explore the historic Santo Domingo, or hike to the Damajagua Waterfalls. Tours typically include meals and refreshments with all logistics taken care of, so you can focus on enjoying your experience.
