Beautiful waterfall

A long trip. The waterfall was beautiful. However the amount of people seeking tip money was excessive.

Whale watching and Bacardi Island Beach

We had Nacho as a tour guide and Frandy was our driver. Nacho was soooo energetic throughout the entire excursion. He was also very knowledgeable about Dominican history and local areas we encountered along the way. The busses were comfortable and we had enough time at each stop to do whatever needed done at that time. Seeing whales in the wild was amazing. We got good pictures and had ample time to observe the 3 whales (a family). After that we went to Bacardi Island for a local lunch and beach time. The beaches were outstanding. Take snorkel equipment if you have it. There were several areas to shop and support local venders so bring cash for that. We were given three alcoholic drink tokens to use at the tiki bar located at the beach. This was a 10/10 would do it again. The photographer that came with us took ok pictures but not fantastic so keep that in mind for pics on the beach.
