“This was a great excursion and I appreciate the company calling me at my resort to see if I wanted to reschedule after they had to cancel the excursion on the day we went due to dangerous roads with water and blockage of the bridge we needed to cross. I loved it all except the horseback riding part. The way the excursion reads leads you to believe you will take the horses up a mountain. The terrain we were in was extremely muddy and nothing to really see it was just a big field and the horses seemed tired. So that part was a little disappointing. It would have been…”

“It was a very interesting experience, we had the opportunity to see the real Dominican culture “No bla bla bla, No Mickey Mouse” cit. guide Robinson. We started with a joyful welcoming which stayed like that during all the day by our guide Robinson and our driver Sandi. After a short horse ride we went to Higuey to visit the Cathedral and the market. The best part of the tour was when they showed us how coffe and chocolate are made by hand. We ended the tour by relaxing a bit at Macao beach with a good pinacolada.”

Review of Punta Cana’s Full Day Supreme Safari, with countryside stops, horseback riding, lunch, open bar, Higuey, and Macao Beach.
“The tour was great and the tour guide and bartender were fabulous. They were fun and informative. There was a photographer with us, from another company he said, taking pictures of the tour group. He was trying to sell a CD with the photos, including the history of the DR and Dominican music for 30 for the half day tour. I thought it was a bit pricey and didn't buy, but I felt bad. I don't think he made any money that day. We tipped the tour guide, telling him it for everyone, and we hope he really did share it.”

“The excursion is mostly to visit village farm, small tobacco factory and local market. Interesting to see it and it’s very fast 5 hours — we didn’t lose too much time and we didn’t eat out of the hotel which is what we were searching for. It’s 2 times cheaper than the same that offered in the hotel. Everything was perfect! Recommend!”
