• Not worth it

  This trip was 14 hours. We were on a very packed bus or sitting in an uncomfortable seated boat for 11 of those hours. (Boat about 2 hours total) (Bus 8 HOURS) (open seated bus [safari] about an hour) The music was so loud we couldn't talk to each other on the bus and the boat. The drinks (sprite, coke, and one type of bottled liquor) were poured into a small plastic cup. (Water from a cooler jug) not bottled. The snack was 1 thin slice of ham and cheese each on 2 slices of cheap, dry bread and 2 small slices of watermelon. (Dinner wasnt too bad). The guides were not friendly at all! Not helpful or informative. The waterfall and beach were very pretty and the horseriding was fun, but not worth 8 hours in a bus. The horse guides told us we had to pay $25 in tips to them each and another $10 for each horse and were angry when we didn't. We just wanted to go home, but we were stuck hours from our resort. I would not recommend unless you love long road trips to reach your destination.

• Beautiful destinations with sub-par food

  Overall good experience. It is as advertised, but to the lowest standard. A “light snack” at the beginning of the tour is a dry ham sandwich and lemonade. The horseback guides are volunteers who will push hard for BIG tips and get disgruntled if not large enough. If you don’t have an adventurous pallet, eat before the tour, as the lunch offered is a “buffet” of beans, rice, & cold meat. The waterfall and Bacardi Island beach are beautiful and make the trip worthwhile. Also, great photo opportunities at the waterfall and beach.

• Way too much traveling!

  The 10 hour trip was spent mostly traveling on busses/catamaran. The busses travel way too fast, changing lanes to oncoming traffic around corners and hills when no passing is allowed. Flashing their lights on moped drivers. Took 2 busses and catamaran to get to Samana and then another jungle bus to get to the horse farm. The horseback riding was very nice and the waterfall was beautiful. Then on the way back, the catamaran stopped at a beach for an hour while it was raining, so we can get our free drinks and spend money at all the vendors. We got back to our resort 2.5 hours later than we should have.
