10/10!!! A beautiful trip... - 10/10!!! A beautiful trip the drive there is about 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours. They give you breakfast then you get on the boat it’s beautiful and the water is breath taking. Just be ready for a long day we woke up at 6am got back to our hotel around 9pm. Horse back riding was great dress comfortable.

Great time - My husband and I had a great time! Everyone was polite and helpful. The guides walking with us as we rode the horses were esp sweet. I hesitated getting into the waterfalls, but he was so assuring that I did it. And I am glad I did!!!

Amazing trip, stunning veiws - This was my favourite trip of my whole visit to Punta Cana. Can't beleive the price they are charging for so much. It is a long busy day but we'll worth it for the activities. Be aware that you are dropped off at a meeting point to be collected by coach, we were confused and a bit worried when we were dropped at a petrol station and told to wait. Tour guides were all really friendly and very knowledgeable. Drive is about 2 hours with a rest break. You pass loads of plantations and the guides point everything out to you. Then you get on a boat for 40 minutes surrounded by lots of small islands, really pretty veiws. When you arrive on samana, you get into a safari truckfor about 25 mins, then transfer to horse back to take you down to the waterfall which is stunning. There was a photographer with out tour who took pics, and loads of other photographers about taking pics to charge you for. In all honesty, the guys that led our horses took pictures throughout that were really good and they were better than the $100 dollar package the tour photographer took. Dissapointing photos but I beleive they are a seperate company to the actual tour company so I haven't marked them down. Tip your horse leader more money too take more photos and get your moneys worth at least. Island trip was beautiful, very peaceful, beach was only inhabited by others on the same tour so quiet and relaxing with gorgeous veiws. We got a drink token on the beach for a beer or coke. It does say drinks provided throughout the trip, and they were sometimes but definitley get your own water where you can to tide you over inbetween. All in all this was a great trip. Also worth noting we booked this at 6pm the night before as another trip we had was cancelled and they squeezed us in no problem. Cannot recommend enough, was a fantastic day!

Samana is enchanted - this tour is totally incredible the waterfall the beach we did horse safari a full day tour very incredible but worth it the food is very good the breakfast is excellent and the service is excellent

Trip worth doing, but very long day. - It was a great excursion. Very long day though, we were picked up on time at 6:30am and dropped off 9:30pm. This was our first time to DR, so we got to see a lot of country side and different parts of the island. You get to do whale watching while going to Bacardi island. Barcadi island beach was beautiful, they could have made lunch there instead of Samona so we had more time to enjoy the beach, but it was a nice spot to stop. Lunch was good. Then we got to ride in an open safari truck for another hour or so to arrive where the horse ranch is. The trail to the waterfall was scary while being on the horse, as the horse slipped many times, but the guide was good. The 250 steps down to the waterfall was a trek, but my guide was very helpful to get me down safely. The waterfall is worth seeing. It's beautiful. It was a long day, but well worth the trip.

Cool experience but wouldn’t book for a few reasons - I didn’t find this experience worth the amount of money we paid, there was a lot of of people and every stop you’re being asked for tips. We were picked up very punctual at our hotel lobby then transported to a meetup point (sketchy gas station) where we waited for other groups to board a big bus. Then we headed our way to the port about two hours away, got on a boat to go whale watching then to Bacardi island which I wish we had visited last, we only had an hour here. After we met up at the pier to go get lunch and then headed towards the waterfall. The scenery is beautiful everywhere on the way. At the waterfall you’re assigned a horse and a guide which I appreciate the guide made me feel better because the path to the waterfall is rough for a beginner rider… and there’s also a little hike up and down the way which was muddy because of the rain. The guide said they volunteer to help with the horses for tips, so you will be asked for money. I thought I was being generous giving $10 each for my house and and I to our guides but we were asked for more, they said we could run our card if we had no more cash. Other people on our tour said they gave more than us and the guides asked for even more… after that you get in the safari bus to get back to the boat (supposed to be a party boat) then meetup at the gas station again to get taken back to your hotel. It’s a long day and like everyone else bring snacks and money for tips. I wish we had gone to the waterfall first and then Bacardi island and we had more time at the island. Also paid more for whale watching, I don’t think it was worth paying more just because is whale season since they ask for tips everywhere that could’ve compensated.

Great experience! Long day! - Overall I would say this was a great experience but plan for a long day. It took about 13 hours from pick up to return. We were staying in Punta Cana. The breakfast provided was a simple meat and cheese sandwich and fruit so if that doesn’t sound good to you- plan to eat breakfast before you leave. Lunch was a nice blend of foods including fruit, rice, noodles, beans, and meat. Take snacks and some water for the day because you will likely miss dinner time. There are a lot of forms of transportation throughout the day and things were coordinated well. You go from transport van, to boat, to transport bus (like a safari bus), to horse to get to the waterfall and then back to get home. This experience gives you a much better view of the island than what you will see staying in the resorts. I was grateful for that.
