From the time I booked to the actual tour, everything was as easy as possible. Our tour guide Carlos & our driver Jimmy were so friendly and professional. Carlos spoke 3 languages for our tour group- so impressive! We enjoyed the drive to the location with all the facts about the people of the area and the history. The national park and the waterfall were so beautiful. This tour truly helped make this the trip of a lifetime.
It was a really nice experience. The food at the Yanigua place was tasteful and I bet with the Dominican flavor because it was super good. The waterfall was cold but they had a place to change your clothes and jump to the river. The Haitises park was full of scenery that makes hot love nature. The only bad thing it’s that we took the tour from Punta Cana and it was super long ride.
It was a meaningful experience with an opportunity to learn much more about the area and its natural features. Very informative.
The bus was in bad shape. We got the worst boat. The tour guide was good and knowledgeable but he catered more to the French and Germans.
Went to several locations and had fun activities to do at each site. Learned a lot about the DR and saw some breath taking sights. Would definitely do this again!
Perfect organization, very nice, helpful and competent guides (driver and guide), great scenery, wonderful experiences, great food and much more. Thank you so much! As the only one we would have liked more time in Yanigua to enjoy everything that can be found there.
Susie was a fantastic tour guide. Highly recommend this excursion especially with Susie as your guide... She was able to speak four languages.
Very good day with suzy and José the driver, beautiful scenery and the Cascade is too beautiful the islands was beautiful and the caves too and we were able to drive the boat😍😍
Suzy was an incredible guide during my trip to the Dominican Republic. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and always made sure I felt safe and comfortable. Her passion for the local culture and history really brought each place to life. Whether we were exploring beaches, local markets, or hidden gems, Suzy’s energy and professionalism never wavered. She went above and beyond, helping with translation, transportation, and making great recommendations for food and activities. Thanks to her, my experience was smooth, fun, and unforgettable. I highly recommend Suzy to anyone visiting the DR – she truly made the trip special!
Such a fun excursion!!! We loved every minute. It was a day full of adventure and fun. From the zip lining ($20 extra on the mountain), to the boat ride, to the waterfall swimming and local lunch, it was a day to remember. Super family friendly and Suzy made it 10x better. She was an incredible guide and so much fun to be around.
