Worthwhile!
This experience was a true authentic cultural taste of the Dominican experience. Our guide really loved sharing his culture with us while also taking part in the overall experience too. Even the ride to different locations provided a lesson about the Dominican Republic and its people.

More than what I expected!!!
This trip is a wonderful way to see how the locals live, taste some wonderful local cuisine. The food was awesome.. We had a good time with the rum tasting the mamawanna, the coffee and chocolate farms. Robinson our tour guide was WONDERFUL! His knowledge is top notch and he is so polite. By the end of the day he and Teo (the driver) felt like family. I definitely recommend taking this tour. It is also a REALLY value. You get more then what you pay for.

Don’t miss out…worth every penny!
Ive been on other ATV trips before and this was by far the best! The small group was so much better than the large caravan arc/buggy trips. Seeing the untouched wild beaches, going to non tourist areas and the wild palm groves were all amazing! Highly highly recommend!

An Amazing Family-Friendly Tour of Santo Domingo
The tour was excellent from start to finish. We were picked up exactly at the scheduled time, and the bus was clean, comfortable, and spacious. Our driver, Enrique, was outstanding—very professional and cautious, which made us feel safe throughout the entire trip.
Our tour guide, Kevin, was exceptional. He shared the rich history of the Dominican Republic, especially the city of Santo Domingo, with great detail and enthusiasm. As we toured the city, he explained the significance of each location, making the experience both educational and enjoyable.
The restaurant where we stopped for lunch was excellent, with delicious food and a cultural dance performance that showcased Dominican traditions. It was a wonderful addition to the tour.
Overall, I highly recommend this tour. It was a fantastic experience, and having Kevin as our guide made it even more memorable because of his extensive knowledge and passion for sharing his country’s history and culture. The tour is very family-friendly—we attended as a family of three (two adults and one 6-year-old child), and we all had a great time.

Siana Island be prepared
The overall experience was excellent.
You should know it's all day. Due to the transportation and the stops. Please be prepared. The get from one boat to the next is dangerous. You will need waterproof bags because they will get wet. Overall boat ride and island was great and beautiful.

One of our best days!
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!

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

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!

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.

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!

It’s a long day but worth...
It’s a long day but worth it! Our tour guides Sexy Papi and PJ were amazing. Our shuttle driver Cielo was hauling butt to make the travel times are short as possible which we really appreciated. The zip lining was so much fun and beautiful scenery. All the workers made me feel very comfortable (first time zip liner, it’s intimidating! ) the monkeys were so cute and friendly. And last but not least the buggies were a fun way to wrap up the day, luckily the DR hadn’t been getting too much rain so didn’t get muddy! Just be prepared to be away from your resort for up to 12 hours. They had plenty of water but glad we brought extra bottles and snacks.

Series of unfortunate events.
The excursion was great. Luis Miguel. Was our instructor and he was great very knowledgeable nice accommodating. We did have a series of unfortunate events that happened to our excursion out of any of our control. However, Luis Miguel handled it in a super professional manner he should get all the raises and all the kudos.
