We had a very pleasure experiene at this excursion. We enjoyed our time in the nature and the excursion was well planned and exeuted, only the morning pickup was well behind schedule, but the reason is unknown. Our guide Susie was lovely and she made sure everyone had great time. Definitely recommend this trip if you enjoye nature and want to see different, more calm side of the Dominican Republic.

Even though the whales were a bit shy and kept their distance, the experience was absolutely wonderful. The guide was polite, witty, and engaging without being intrusive. The program was well-thought-out and enjoyable, making the entire trip a memorable adventure. Everything was just perfect—highly recommended!

It was my favourite trip in Dominican Republic, combining water cruise on the mangrove field, bird watching, caves with ancient drawings, tipical dominican lunch, car safari in the mountains and a short dip in natural pools with waterfalls. A day to savour again and again.

Booked the day before, we found ourselves doing a tour as if it were private, very well organized, we were very happy with the experience!

all good, shame I left out the road to the waterfalls from the description
