Exceptional
This tour exceeded my expectations. I actually booked the tour strictly because they went to a cigar factory. I knew they were going to other places, but I thought it would be quick stops with slight information, but it was really in-depth and felt like we were outside all day going to different parts of cities learning about Dominican farming and culture. I had so much fun and I have no complaints at all.

Very affordable and worth the full day!
Robinson and Sandy, our tour guides, are top notch! This is definitely not a half day trip but that was okay with us as we wanted to see all the culture. I will say that this tour did stop at some of the same places with other companies, so just keep that in mind if that’s not what you’re looking for. Either way, it was great to see the authentic Dominican culture, horseback riding, food, and cigar rolling was included in our price.

Enjoyed the 3-in-1 Adventure
The 3-in-1 adventure was one of my favorite excursions I did during my time in DR. Joel was a great tour guide (incredibly knowledgable and gave some great insights into the history/culture of DR), the photographers were friendly and helped capture some great pics, and the itinerary for the day was well planned/scheduled. It was a very long day, but absolutely worth it! The food at Rancho Salto Yanigua was so delicious and I loved the chocolate making demonstration! One recommendation for fellow travelers...make sure to bring water shoes to the waterfall as it is rocky and a bit slippery in some areas! Overall, everyone we encountered was very friendly and I think this tour is worth it considering how much it covered!

Day Trip from Punta Cana to Santo Domingo
I thought this day trip from Punta Cana to Santo Domingo was a really nice way to learn more about the history and culture of DR and the communication from the tour company was great. We were upgraded to a private tour which was really nice as it was easier navigating throughout the city more efficiently with a smaller group. It was a long day but we covered a lot of great attractions! Our tour guide was very upbeat, knowledgeable, and friendly! The buffet was also delicious and we got a chance to sample some items at a local chocolate shop! One piece of advice for fellow travelers.... Los Tres Ojos (the cenotes) were incredibly beautiful, however, there are a lot of stairs, some of which are narrow/hard to see as you descend further down, so make sure to wear supportive sneakers and be prepared for a bit of a workout! The only that I would change is that the souvenir shop we stopped at was nice but very expensive. I would have liked some time to explore other shops that were more affordable. Other than that, we had a great experience and would recommend this tour to other travelers!

Excellent fun!
Absolutely amazing experience! Marianna and Kazak looked after the group so well, always ensuring our safety. Great fun and really interesting to visit a local family in their home. Fantastic value for money, lovely hosts and a great way to spend a morning!

The excursion was...
The excursion was excellent. From the moment Chris picked us up at the hotel, he provided information and explained the history of the place. The views along the way were breathtaking. The ranch and horseback riding, the basilica, Higüey, the Dominican aunt's house where we saw the cacao process, and the food—it was a very cultural tour, just as I wanted. The service was excellent. 100% recommended.

Take this tour!
This is an AMAZING tour!!! It provides so much knowledge and history while visiting several sites; and the buffet lunch was delicious. The tour is very well managed - groups aren't all showing up in places at the same time, they give you headsets so you can hear your guide while taking your time to look around and take photos, and there are plenty of bathroom breaks. Nacho was our tour guide and he was engaging, personable, and extremely intelligent. A couple bits of advice - take whatever you want to have with you on the tour when you get off the bus after the Presidential palace, as you won't get back on until the day is done. Also be aware that this is a LONG day - 13 hours for us - and A LOT of sitting on a bus and walking. Be prepared for that, but regardless I recommend it 100%.

Boogie Woogie
Really fantastic experience, we certainly got the right kind of messy in the boogies but the coffee tasting and shops, the water caves and Macao Beach were absolutely stunning. Highlight of the trip - get used to saying no to the locals but please do support the community in what you enjoy. The coffee is delicious!

Great excursion for a family!
This was a fantastic tour! Gary and Johnny were great guides. They were fun and entertaining, but also kept everyone organized when areas got busy. They made sure to give us a heads up before we’re would encounter an onslaught of crazy merchants and gave us tips on dealing with them!

Incredible Adventure & Outstanding Guide!
My experience with Runners Adventures on the Adventure Bundle: Monkeyland, Ziplines & Buggies in Punta Cana was absolutely unforgettable! The entire day was well organized, fun, and packed with adventure.
A special shoutout goes to PJ, our tour guide for the dune buggy portion — he was hilarious, engaging, and kept the energy high while remaining professional and attentive to everyone’s safety. His humor and enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable.
Customer service throughout the entire tour was top-notch. The staff were friendly, helpful, and genuinely made us feel welcome.
Highly recommended for anyone visiting Punta Cana looking for a fun and memorable excursion!

Awesome!
Really cool experience. Family of 3, we did the buggies after a night of heavy rainfall, which made for an adventurous ride use through the mud. Guides are pleasant and professional. Pick-up was a bit confusing, but it did not mar the experience — they gave us a 2 hour pickup window. We were not happy about this, happy we did not end up canceling as the experience was totally worth it!

Fun ATV & Beach Tour
Fun 4x4 ATV excursion. Muddy so dress in clothes/shoea you don't mind getting messy. Guides were patient, knowledgeable and fun. Great pics for memories. The water Cave was beautiful and the beach was the best we saw during our stay in Punta Cana! Coffee, tea and a variety products were at a good cost. Guide told who to buy from and where to stay away.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Located on the Dominican Republic’s eastern tip, Punta Cana is one of the most popular destinations in the country. But if you want to explore beyond the beach, guided Punta Cana day trips make it easy to travel further afield without having to figure out the logistics. Hop over to Saona or Catalina Islands, ride a horse or dune buggy, explore inland caves and waterfalls, or experience culture and history in Santo Domingo—whatever piques your interests, these excursions will get you there and back safe and sound.
