Traveler reviews
“A significant logistical effort for an ambitious outing that falls short. A van picks you up, transfers to a large bus, travel, breakfast, catamaran crossing of Samana Bay, stop at Bacardi Island, drinks and swimming in the sea, catamaran to Samana port, lunch, trucks (safari?), horses with a guide, Limón waterfall, river swimming, return to the ranch, drinks, return to the hotel. Restroom stops, sufficient. Details and cost investment are lacking for quality service and safety.”
“Fun and beautiful experience. All day excursion. Starts early picking up other passengers.about 2+drive then you stop for bathroom beak a quick snack bread &water/coke (recommend taking snacks or eat prior to getting started) then you get into a boat ride that takes you to bus then to the horses from there they explain the famous coffee, chocolate, stone and mama Juana. Time to buy some souvenir better prices than anywhere else. Then you ride the horses fun experience but not for the weak. Once you get to the waterfall you walk about 10 minutes and get to experience the glory of this beautiful natural waterfall, take pictures,swim. Then you head back. This is where you need to be somewhat fit the stairs going up were a challenge but worth it every moment. Definitely recommend. Then you get back to eat a delicious traditional meal. Everyone is so friendly and nice, they works hard Definitely suggest giving everyone a good tip.”
“Our friends & is booked this adventure when we got to our resort. It is a very long day for one. Our guide spoke Spanish & not much English for us which made it hard for us to get info about surroundings. He sang horribly & played Lloyd music all the time. The lunch was not great. Long ride in the open air vehicle. The boat was older & rails weren't secure & neither was the roof. Didn't see any life jackets but a little kids. Them we get to the horse back riding part & at the end our kids leading the horses told us they needed $20 US because the company gets the rest??? WTH? That's a lot of money for them to lead a horse. To see the waterfall you have to walk 286 steps down & of course back up again which was difficult for our friends. That should be in the brochure. Then to end it all before our boat ride home was done the young man pulled out a jug that said tips& blew a whistle. We felt this to be very tacky. I don't think I would recommend this adventure through this company.”
