The waterfalls were AMAZING! The hike up and walking through the water was beautiful. The zip lines were on the country side and some of them were very short but none the less still really fun with some amazing views. The horseback riding was okay. They gave minimal instructions and the horses seemed exhausted. The one thing that truly upset me was watching our guide throw a plastic water bottle in a ditch (on the property) when we were starting our ride. One major thing that needs improvement is the amount of trash and empty water bottles/cans/trash scattered throughout the zip lining area and the trail (dirt road) we went on for the horseback riding. If I could do it again I would just do the waterfall and zip lining.

I am deathly afraid of the ocean, so why not paddle board?? The owner Richard spent alot of time with me to get the basics...then stayed right with me all around the bay. IT WAS AMAZING!!!! I was able to get out on the water and stay up the whole time. Looking down the coral and fish were absolutely beautiful. I can't wait to get out there again....thanks again Richard for everything ????????????.. Bringing my spouse next week for lessons.

First we drive to Punta Rucia and from there with a speed boat to " Cayo Arena " ( the local name of Paradise Island ), where turquoise water and white sand will welcome you. On the Paradise Island you will get fresh fruits and drinks. Discover the bright colorful reef with all kinds of fishes on our snorkeling tour, or just enjoy the sun and the beach at this beautiful place. Before lunch we visit the national park of Monte Cristi with its mangroves. On the way back we will make a stop at Playa Estero Hondo to have look at the Manatees ( sea cows ).

There you will enjoy a quick breakfast prior to boarding the boat to Samana. We’ll cruise deep into the bay to whale watch. We will first reach Cayo Levantado, also known as Bacardi Island because of its close resemblance to the beaches Bacardi Rum once used for its famous commercials.

First we will stop at the mini zoo, see the typical animals, birds and then continue to the plantation. amazed with the plantation you can also enjoy different fruits The next stop is at Playa Caleton where the waters are calm and crystal clear then we continue to the blue dudu lagoon here are a different ways to enjoy the pool. There are several platforms of varying height which allow you to jump into the water (the tallest platform is quite the rush!) Or you can hang onto a metal frame zip line and let go when you’re zooming over the water. There are also stairs that allow access into the pool if you don’t want to jump or take a zip line. In the thick humidity of the Dominican Republic, the cool water of the lagoon is more than refreshing. Plus, it’s fun to watch others in your group jump into the water from the platforms while you swim. Then stop in playa grande to have lunch and enjoy the beach.

Inclusions: Lunch

Priceless. Everything was good. The speed boat ride to the island, snorkeling, the clear water, blue skies. Best place to take a loved one. Such a small island feels like it's your private island and beach. A place you can propose to your future wife. I will definitely be going back.

Me and my friends used them as a private taxi and they were helping us out the entire time from keeping pick pockets away to making sure the locals don’t throw outrageous prices at us. I highly recommend them they’re extremely friendly and always look out you won’t regret it.

I booked Edwin Tejera to pick us up from the airport and bring us to Emotions. Our Travel dates: April 17th - May 1st, 2021. Edwin was there at the airport waiting for us which was a huge relief knowing our ride was there for us. Edwin also had a cold cerveza for me and a cold bottle of water for my spouse which was very refreshing after a long plane ride. His vehicle is in very good condition as in like new...... I highly recommend using Edwin because he was prompt, courteous and a very nice guy. So additionally I used his services to bring us to The Residence Suites at LifeStyle Cofressi beach for our next week. On the way I asked if he could find me some Dominican cigars so he took me to the Cigar Factory downtown Puerto Plata where we were greeted warmly and shown the various tobacco's from several countries. We continued on to Lifestyle where we enjoyed an additional 7 wonderful days. I also contracted him to pickup my daughter and son from the airport and bring them to the resort. And to follow up I had him pick us up and bring us back to the airport. Edwin speaks very good english and is very capable of transporting you to any excursion or other venues. He answered all of my questions and I will surely us his service every time I visit the Dominican Republic. Thank you Edwin for your excellent hospitality. My Best regards to you. Daniel and Lila from Michigan.
