Contact with the company EcoAdventures has been fantastic. They have always been available for questions and modifications. The excursion is perfect to get in touch with nature and the landscapes of Samaná. It is true that you spend a lot of time on buses and boats rather than in the places visited, since it is far from Punta Cana, but it was a comfortable and pleasant trip. The only negative point is that the description of the activity is uncertain; there is no type of walking tour in Santa Bárbara de Samaná, nor is there time to visit the city or the whale museum, it is a couple of minutes with a couple of explanations from the minibus. After that small disappointment, everything else was good and recommendable.

Excellent tour! The beaches are really beautiful and the attention of Andrés (El andariego de las Galeras) is impeccable. Their attention is great and their service is very cordial. The food he prepares is delicious and is highly recommended.

Very complete activity, I did not like the air conditioning of the transport bus since it did not turn it down at any time. But the experience was great and the guide was great.

The tour was really individual and our Captain was super cool. Thanks for the experience.

Great tour with Andres, beaches were awesome and our guide very friendly and kind.
