Excursion NOT recommended

Perfect if what you want is to waste your time. The one-way trip alone lasted 5 hours, which was not even the amount of time we spent doing said excursion. The guide Rafael was not at all compatible; you would ask him questions and he would ignore answering you by saying that “that is a company matter.” Aside from being in a state of intoxication. Not at all punctual with the schedules, we were on Bacardi Island for barely 1h and on the horseback ride to the Limon waterfall for about 2h; you spend more time traveling from place to place than what they actually paint the excursion to be. In conclusion; disastrous and not at all recommended, I would not repeat it.

WASTE OF TIME

IT IS A WASTE OF TIME, you lose a day doing this excursion, we spent 5 hours getting from the hotel to the first activity, the guide from the first hour giving (exaggerated) time courtesies to everyone, it is not worth it and it is not because of the money, it is because of the day you lose of YOUR vacation, the transport (bus) was fine but the air conditioning was on full blast, several of us asked him several times to turn it down and he did not pay attention, this seems like a freezer IT IS NOT WORTH WASTING TIME HERE, the guide is a separate issue already…..

Adventure to Cayo Levantado among friends

Very good, with the coordination of Amado and the driver Reyes who collaborated so that our experience was positive.

Satisfied with the area and the hotel is what we expected.

Good experience, the necessary time and the attention from the staff, the driver Castillo and above all the care and dedication of our guide Mr. Nacho, honestly we recommend him for future excursions.

Excursion to Samaná, El Limón Waterfall, and Bacardi Island.

The bus driver Castillo is a 10, Nacho is a 10, nice, friendly, funny, and cheerful. The best.
