Amazing time! The dunes were amazing, the views were crazy! The snorkeling was a lot of fun, nice warm water and clear! The lunch was delicious, rice beans and fish, feeding the iguanas was fun and hilarious! Overall an amazing experience and worth every penny! I will be doing this again next time I’m back in RD.

Very nice spot, The dune is beautiful and you can even surf on it if you dare to, or to do like sledding. Very fun!! Easy going day trip, pick up at your hotel in Santo Domingo early morning and back on the afternoon. The guide John Tineo is very nice and helpful! Beach and swim are nice too after sand surf session.
