Top Punta Cana Day Trips - page 2

Highly recommend this ATV experience — don’t even think twice about booking it. I actually cancelled another ATV tour to book this one instead and was nervous about the decision, but was extremely happy that I did. What really makes this tour stand out is the small intimate group size (maximum around 15 people) compared to many other tours that can have 40–50 people. The staff is attentive and you never feel like just another number. The trail itself is absolutely breathtaking and fun, with sections where you ride right alongside the sea. The ATVs were in good condition, pickup was on time, and the route is long enough that even beginners get comfortable and can really enjoy the ride. Another huge plus: they take photos and videos throughout the tour and send them to you the next day completely free of charge. You also get to experience authentic Dominican coffee unlike the commercialized versions served at hotels and restaurants, and even drink fresh coconut water straight from the coconut. Tips: be prepared to get VERY dirty, wear swimwear, and bring items you don’t mind getting dusty since your bag/backpack rides on the front of the ATV. The secluded beach stop was a great touch as well.

While staying at an all-inclusive resort in Punta Cana, we wanted to go outside the "hotel zone" and experience more of beautiful Dominican Republic. This 3-in-1 excursion let us do just that! The stop at Montaña Redonda was quick, but included a thrilling ride up the windy mountain road, then amazing panoramic views of the valley below. The boat ride through the canals of Los Haitises National Park, lined with mangrove trees, was fun and beautiful. Then, the hike through cool caves with ancient petroglyphs was something special. And the last stop, at the Rancho Salto Yanigua Waterfall was the perfect end to the day. Our guide, Carlos, had told us from the start that "everyone in the DR is family" and that's the kind of welcome we received. The food was amazing, the swim in the waterfall pool was cool and refreshing, and the climb up to Tarzan's Treehouse was exhilarating. It was a long day, but the bus was air conditioned and pretty comfortable. Our driver, Jimmy, was great with the sometimes not great roads and all the "sleeping police" we encountered (Carlos' name for the MANY speed bumps!). It was great learning from Carlos about the history and culture of the Dominican Republic throughout the day. It really added so much to the experience. ♥️🇩🇴 We highly recommend this excursion!

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
