Great tour
Hopefully you get Francisco as your guide. He was great. Very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. We felt safe with him and enjoyed his conversations. The tour is longer than the 4 hours advertised once all guests are picked up and dropped off. Overall, it was a good mix of activities and gave us a great snapshot of DR life. Definitely recommend.

I had a great time on this trip. The communication from the tour company was very clear and organized, and our driver came early. Out tour guide José was also great and I learned so much from him. He was attentive to everyone's needs throughout the day. We also packed many interesting stops and made it back on time which was excellent!

Great experience, great...
Great experience, great communication. It was easy to find the group after getting off the cruise ship at the port. From there they drove us to the waterfalls. It was so much fun, my kids loved it. The only thing to be aware of is there is about a 45 minute hike uphill to get there (it would be much shorter, but they take lots of breaks in areas outfitted with benches for those who need to rest). I didn't see anyone at this activity who was not having a blast. Would highly recommend.

Best part of our trip
10 out of 10, must do! It’s a LONG day and a lot of ‘bumpy’ driving towards the last stop but I am SO glad we did this. Beautiful sites, our favorite part was the lunch in the most amazing spot and the best meal we had the whole trip. (Maybe pack extra snacks bc it was a late lunch). The guides were great, just wish we would’ve known there was a drop off meeting spot so that was confusing but it was well coordinated.

Incredible tour and guide
This was extremely fun, one of the best experiences ever. Malcolm, our tour guide, has been the best tour guide I've had the pleasure of having. We were picked up (and dropped off) in an air conditioned vehicle, greeted very warmly by Malcolm, and joined by the rest of our group. Then, made a stop at a spot for food, souvenirs, restrooms, before heading to El Yunque. We were offered life jackets and helmets for safety down the water slides where we were instructed how to go down. The guide was very attentive and even took photos and videos of each of us. After being there for a while we went to Luquillo where we given a tour of the kiosks, recommended some food and stayed at the beach for a while where we were able to get on a jet ski! After we were done, our guide even dropped us off at another beach we wanted to try out! Excellent tour and excellent tour guide, completely recommend everyone to do this tour!

Great family day with ages ranging from 18 to 76
Great excursion. Exactly as described. Tour operator communication and organization was great from start to finish. Would not recommend for anyone with mobility or health issues as getting in and out of the boat in the water was challenging and the ride was rough at times. The lunch on the island was excellent and our guide Joseph was wonderful. The water was beautiful.

Amazing tour! Beautiful sights & excellent food!
Fantastic experience!! We cannot recommend this excursion enough. We were very lucky that they waited for us as our cruise ship was late arriving into Port. It was a small group of just five of us and we had a fantastic time. The fall was an amazing experience. Be prepared for a strenuous hike, but it was great. Bottled water was provided. However, the crown jewel was the food at the local restaurant. It was absolutely delicious. Our tour guide was amazing.

Great day experiencing the island's culture!
Danilo was an awesome tour guide and was very informative. He made the day fun and interesting. The stops we made were great, horseback riding the church at Higuey, the sovenier shops, the walk through the market, the local food by the river, cigar shop and the best part the beach all made the day worth it. Would definitely recommend!! Definitely no mickey mouse thing lol

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.

Book it!!
Super fun experience! Highly recommend!! My husband and I throughly enjoyed this excursion. Our tour guide Darwin was very informative and nice. He made sure we stayed hydrated the whole trip, which was super kind of him. He also went out of his way to get us all snacks since our group was hungry before it was lunchtime. We never felt unsafe during the tour while exploring. He kept track of all 8 of us within the group but also let us look around and explore, never rushing us.
The authentic restaurant food was super delicious!! It was one of the biggest highlights of the tour for me.
You get to horseback ride, make cigars, see how they make chocolate, see the local markets, church, school house and more… every fun packed tour compared to others..
DONT hesitant to book this: you won’t be disappointed!!

Cultural authentic experience
This was a great tour because you got to experience different things from the fresh food market, cigar making, coffee/cocoa tour, horseback riding, and to Macao beach! Our primary guide was amazing, informative and very patient. The included lunch was amazing and fresh! We were able to experience a lot of this island with just this one tour! Justo Veloz, thank you for spending your morning with us and sharing your knowledge about your beautiful island!

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!!
