Review of Punta Cana’s Monkeyland and 12-zipline adventure, with hotel pickup, Dominican lunch, monkey encounters, costs, limits, and practical tips.

“We had a wonderful day on the zipline and monkey tour. Angel Marie was a fun and entertaining tour guide and Gabriel was full of interesting facts and history about the DR. I highly recommend this tour for adults and children. Would not recommend the zip lining if you can’t climb several flights of stairs.”

Review of the $55 Santo Domingo day trip from Punta Cana, covering Los Tres Ojos, Colonial Zone sights, lunch, transport, guides, and value.

“Unfortunately what could have been a great day wasn’t. The tour company wasn’t responsive on questions and the guide also didn’t provide any guidance as to the itinerary for the day. About an hour into the journey we could feel (and smell) that a tire had shredded. The driver did get us to a mechanic and it took almost an hour to get it fixed. Unfortunately the guide provided no information on the problem or when we would be back in the road. At the point we left the mechanic there should have been an announcement of what was getting cut off the itinerary and what we were doing (still…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 94 reviews · from $169

Review of Punta Cana’s whale watching and Limón Waterfall day trip, with catamaran sailing, horseback riding, costs, timing, and practical advice.

“Watching the whales was worth the trip. It was amazing to watch them so close! If I had to do this again, I would choose one excursion without the Lemon Cascade. The Lemon Cascade is beautiful too, but you have to walk up and down 280 steps each way, and for me it would have been better to stop in a beach instead.”

Watch humpback whales, visit Cayo Levantado and El Limón Waterfall on a long, value-packed day trip from Punta Cana.

“Overall it was a good day but there were a few negatives which dampened it. The boats (which leave you sopping wet through and is awful on the return journey when you them have 1.5 hours bus trip back) chased the whales father than followed them. The horse guide was telling me how much tip to leave him, multiple times.”

Review of Punta Cana’s Santo Domingo day trip, with Los Tres Ojos, Colonial Zone, lunch, transport details, guide concerns, and value advice.

“If the organization of transport from the hotel were more agile (without changes from one transport to another) and instead of going to a specific souvenir shop and leaving aside the coffee/chocolate place; that time could be used to enter the Columbus Lighthouse, for example.”

Travel from Punta Cana to El Limón Waterfall, Cayo Levantado, and rural Samaná by bus, boat, horse, and safari truck in one long day.

“The trip was overrated in my personal point of view. We shared our hotel address 5 times via email and there was no answer reg the pickup hour and point. Or better, they answered the day after the tour took place. The guide did not explain anything during the journey. There were multiple tours, meeting on the same place with zero organisation. Due to this, the place was overcrowded and it was really difficult to follow our group and enjoy the activity. Additionally, there was no barra libre and lunch was done in 20 min. Places are beautiful but the tour was not so good, hence I do not recommend…”
