What people are saying about Punta Cana
Highly recommended!!! Remember to bring your own bandana/head scarf and sunglasses. They can be little pricey at the gift shop. I also recommend purchasing the pictures. I paid $40 (plus a $5 tip) for about 40 pictures!!! The memories are priceless!
Great walk and very interesting information provided by our guide. Good shoes are a must, we walked through loadsof mud and little streams, so count on your shoes getting muddy and wet, we didn t mind that.
Very enjoyable experience. So convenient to have everything set up for you. Lots of activities to choose from. My husband and I had fun doing all of them.
It was a great experience and value for money! The most beautiful day in the Dominican Republic!
It was a blast. Our son loves monkeys and this was a dream come true for him. Great staff.
