Top Dominican Republic Outdoor Activities - page 8

Our experience was great. We are a family of 8, kids were between the ages of 12-17 and this was everyone’s favorite activity. We ended up with private transportation, got there quickly, our driver took excellent care in showing us where to go, took things back to the car for us, was there when it was done, showed us where to go for lunch. The lunch was things like salad, pasta salad, rice, beans, pasta, chicken, pork, French fries, buns. It was served buffet style and came with water. After we finished up our driver took us to another stop where we chose to go in and see some monkeys. It was an added cost but we wanted to do it and there was no pressure. Then we rode back with plenty of time to stop at the port shops. The hike was not challenging at all for myself or kids. My husband didn’t like wearing the water shoes to hike. They take frequent stops along the way so no one gets too overwhelmed. I would have preferred to just keep going but we were with a group of people and some were older. We weren’t part of the massive cruise group, which was nice. Just paired up with a couple of other small groups to head up the hill, I’d say there was maybe 16 of us total. Once at the top we were advised on how to safely jump etc. there was a line when we got to jump so our guide told us to do the water slide and then go back up and jump, which we did. I’m afraid of heights but wanted to have the experience and it was so fun. You just can’t think about the jump and psych yourself out. We had 2 jumps, I think we just did the 1 slide. Everything was so pretty. We also paid for the photos and a sweet guy followed us taking photos along the way. That was worth it in my opinion, otherwise you’re too busy having fun and forget if you risk bringing a phone or camera. The guide showed us many things with plants, fruits and animals on the walk back. It was a great experience, we’d all love to go back.

1000/10 experience!! We received transportation from our resort to the island. Check in was smooth with your barcode or first and last name from booking. Our resort told us to only book through them for safety, but there was no safety concerns whatsoever so ever. Biggest downfall was waiting a while to get on the boat that could have been spent in the water. Music, premixed drinks( no shots or well drinks included), vibes, people, and crowd was great. Tip the bartender because there is usually just one person behind the bar pouring all the drinks. We got out of the water and were able to mingle with other party boats. Probably the best excursion I’ve been on!

Let me tell you, this was a party boat! I booked this excursion last minute & the owner personally came to pick me up & drop me off. The party boat was so much fun!! Great music, great vibes & felt totally safe. The boat was clean and everyone was so welcoming. I will be coming back :).

I had an excellent time at El Dorado Water Park in Punta Cana. The park was clean, well-maintained, and offered a great variety of attractions for both relaxation and excitement. The slides were thrilling, the lazy river was perfect for unwinding, and there were plenty of areas to just sit back and enjoy the atmosphere. The staff were friendly and helpful, which made the experience even more enjoyable. It can be a little confusion because most of the workers does not speak English, Overall, it was a fun and memorable experience, and I would definitely recommend El Dorado Water Park to anyone visiting Punta Cana.

Visiting Monkeyland in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic was one of the absolute highlights of our trip! It’s such a unique, interactive experience—especially if you love animals. The squirrel monkeys are incredibly friendly and will climb right onto your shoulders, arms, and even your head if you let them! It felt surreal having them gently take food right out of our hands. The staff was knowledgeable and guided us the entire time, making sure both the guests and the monkeys were safe and comfortable.

I went into this experience expecting some fun snorkeling and a lunch. It was so much more. After our guide Jorge got us onto the boat he introduced the crew and the experience began. There was music and drinks and everyone was laughing and joking. We got to the first snorkeling area and there were so many fish, they do bait some to give you a more up close experience, but there are a ton of fish anyways. Then we got back on the boat and went to a beach on an island where they opened up coconuts on the beach and made drinks. Then we moved on to another snorkeling area and ate lunch on the boat. It was delicious! I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who wants not only snorkeling but an interactive and entertaining day with wonderful people. I will be doing this trip again next time I am here. Absolutely incredible!

It was an amazing tour from start to finish. Service was offered fluently in English, French, Spanish. We had zero issues with any aspects of coordinating transportation to and from our hotel. It was all done for us. We just had to show up at our hotel gate. The boat was perfect. There were only 26 participants in the tour with ample room to spread out and make yourself comfortable. I struggle with neck and back issues, and had no difficulty tolerating the catamaran ride. There is a full washroom on board. The snacks and meal were fantastic. Unlimited rum and beer/ beverages all day. Saona island was stunning. We had a great massage on the beach. We only wish we would’ve had a little more cash on us so we could’ve indulged in a longer treatment. The price of the massage ranged from $50-$90 per person. Everything was well organized. We felt safe and well taken care of all day long. We made many new friends from all around the world. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to journey to Saona island.

It was a great way to start off our vacation, pros: great way to meet new people ( all ages and ethnicities were on board), communication was good between myself and company, staff was nice,helpful & attentive, music selection was good( mix between American hiphop,reggae , Caribbean, etc.) Price for the excursion was good for the experience. Stayed a while in the last location where the turn up really happened. Cons: unless you have water shoes all shoes are removed ( so basically majority of people were barefoot on the boat) drinks were watered down however they were unlimited so you will eventually start to feel it. ( premium liquor is a surcharge but thats not a con just FYI, rum and vodka, water & spirits unlimited). As far as food after all that liquor fruit is the only thing served( & the fruit wasnt fresh tasted spoilage, however, there is people selling food on the water between $20-$40), you do have the option to snorkel but only for 15-20min . Recommendations:( as a customer) bring water shoes, Would we do it over again yes 100 times over.
