Paradise - Wonderful trip, excellent service too. Traveling by bus from Puerto Plata takes about 2.5 hours. They take great care of you during the cruise. As a bonus you will get sparkling wine and even lobster. Compared to other agencies, the price is good.

Wow what a great excursion - Other than the long 2 hour bus ride there, the boat was amazing, great snacks, wonderful service. Paradise island was in fact paradise, they could have left me there. Snorkelling was wonderful, wow. Then we were off swimming in the middle of no where on a sandbar , honestly the air was 30 and the water was warmer, what a concept. Loved the champagne and shrimp. Boat ride to the protected area and then back to punta rucia for lobster lunch, yummy. Bus ride back stopped for shopping and back to resort by six. Money well spent for a wonderful day, thank you.

The island itself was amazing but the travel time to get there was too much - We did this excursion last week. The island itself is very beautiful as well as Puerto Rusia. You can just lounge at the beach or go snorkeling to see the fish. The tour provides free rum drinks at the island which is nice. The bus ride from our hotel was 2.5 hours...an hour of which we were just picking up other people at their hotels. We were one of the first on the bus and one of the last off the bus so this made the day really long. Out of a 10 hour excursion we spent 5 hours on the bus and if you get car sick this will not be good for you. I think I would recommend private travel for this one if you are staying in Puerto Plata. We were told that once we arrived at Puerto Rusia there would be some snacks like ham and cheese sandwiches and things. The food ran out really quick and my boyfriend had to ask them to bring out more. The food after the excursion wasn't the best but you could find something to eat and nothing made us sick. A note for people before you book....there are no washrooms on this island so if you are one of those people who need to use the bathroom more frequently than others you may be uncomfortable during this trip. However the bathrooms at Puerto Rusia were kept very clean. Overall the island was beautiful but would recommend private travel to Puerto Rusia

Consider yourself lucky if you get picked up !!! - Booked directly with this company and got a confirmation with their phone, logo and email. Once we realized nobody was coming to pick us up we immediately contacted the company and where told, sorry we can not give you a refund because the owner is sick and he is the only one who can do that. This was back in december and now they removed their web site which you can see on the picture. Anybody who is selling this tour should be ashamed off.
