Great half-day tour
Francisco was a great tour guide. He communicated immediately after I booked, which was the night before, to give me a pickup time for my hotel. He's very friendly. Also, I liked that it was a small group. All the places we went from a short horseback ride, Bascillica, Issa farm, walk through (very fast) of a local market, the creek at our lunch spot, cigar factory and Macao beach were all great experiences for the time we had. So much to cover during the time but not leaving feeling the day was too long. I'd 110% choose this tour over again!

I had a great time on...
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!

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.

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.

This was a great...
This was a great experience. Malcolm was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and super helpful. We had a large group so it was just us on the tour and he was very flexible and accommodating. Would recommend this tour to anyone. This was the highlight of our trip.

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

Always a plan B
I had a great experience overall, even though the original plan had to change due to a storm in the area. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to visit the La Jaiba River for safety reasons, but the guide handled the situation professionally and made sure the day was still enjoyable.
As an alternative, he took me to Eden Cave, which turned out to be a beautiful and unique place to explore. I really appreciated the effort to adjust the itinerary rather than cancel the experience. The visit was relaxed, scenic, and still allowed me to enjoy the natural beauty of the region.
Afterward, we went to eat at a local restaurant and enjoyed a delicious Dominican meal, which was a perfect way to end the day. The guide was friendly, attentive, and focused on making sure I still had a great experience despite the weather.
Overall, I appreciated the flexibility and professionalism, and I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone wanting to explore the area and experience local culture.

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.

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!!

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.
