A great experience for the price. It does take some time to get to the locations but that’s to be expected so don’t think you are getting 8 hours at the beach that’s just unrealistic with the location compared to punta Cana. The boat ride was fun and the dip in the ocean in the natural pool was amazing. Love the professional photographers on board and the music and staff were amazing. The food was pretty good, what you would expect from this type of tour. We bought pins coladas which were good. I went with two teenage girls and felt safe the entire time. Would highly recommend!
Micky & Alex were the best guides! They were very thoughtful, nice & made sure everyone was accounted for. They kept us informed and made sure we enjoyed the full experience. This full day tour was beautiful from the island to the catamaran. The all inclusive alcohol consisted of rum and coke or sprite and coke and your first meal isn’t until you reach the island but they stop for snacks and souvenirs before the long trip.
Alex (The Guide) was extremely informative and helpful the whole day. Under his instruction, i felt safe and well taken care of.
Wonderful Day trip.Full of fun.
It was a super quiet ride, with a punctual and solicitory company. Guia Eduardo is very calm and kind. I recommend
This was the 2nd visit to this beautiful island I found this experience disappointing for a number of reasons the guide Francisco wasn’t too good and he made us walk further around the cove. Although still beautiful the sea was very choppy. And had to ride the waves. It definitely wasn’t suitable for older people or young children as it was too choppy Staying were the boats anchor is much more relaxing as the sea is very calm.
Great experience, amazing staff, very helpful at all times. Our mom could t walk long distances and they accommodated her journey in every step. Highly recommended, just consider you will have to move from boat to boat and some walking. Thank you all for an amazing time.
Could not fault the whole experience from start to finish. Alex was amazing and made us all feel very welcome and involved. Food was good. We had ample time on the island to explore and enjoy. Yes you will get asked every 5 minutes if you would like to buy something but that’s all part of the experience and all in all we had a great time. DR is an amazing country and this trip has made our holiday even more memorable x
I had an amazing time, worth every penny. Will recommend it to any one going to Punta cana
