Nice and relaxing - Straight forward tour, we got picked up at the cruise port by a van, then went straight to the beach. Our tour guide was Anthony, he’s super nice. We learned some of the DR history from Anthony on the way to the beach. We got to stay at a nice beach area with chairs and umbrellas. Unfortunately we can’t swim in the ocean this time due to big waves but the experience is still nice with warm weather, watching and listening to the waves worth the trip. On the way back we had some nice rum punch Anthony and the crew on the van. Would definitely do this again.

Playa Dorada - Wet Day - The weather was not cooperating. Nevertheless our tour guide, Jordan was professional and informative. He took us to a beachside restaurant where we sat and eventually had lunch.

Great Experience!! - Angel Luis was our tour guide and he was awesome!! Very friendly and shared lots of history and information of this beautiful island. He gave us water and a very refreshing Rum Punch. Very attentive to our needs and even gave us the Wifi password from the local resort.
We had about 2.5 hours in Playa Dorada which was just enough to soak in the sun, swim and have a delicious lunch at the Blue Jack right on the beach. You can chose from the beach lounge chairs or the beds. We got 2 beds for our family of 5 and there were plenty available. Ceviche was great and Fish and Chips is highly recommended. Price was affordable and the drinks were about $6.00 each.
We took pictures with a monkey, a parrot and had fresh coconut water from vendors walking the beach.
Great experience! Definitely recommend...

Beautiful and relaxing - This tour company was very organized and professional. The bus was clean and we had very little wait time. I felt very safe with Anthony watching our belongings. It was a short excursion but we were fine with that since we were tired. We didn't snorkel due to the waves and poor visibility. The tour guides gave us bottled water and rum punch for the way back. We even did some high pressured shopping there but they did negotiate with us. All in all it was a nice, relaxing day!

Nice beach break. - Nice beach, good service, away from the public beach. If on a cruise, hopefully a long day as the time to enjoy was less than we wanted. Still, when we go back will do it again. Guide and host were awesome and a real plus.

Great morning on Playa Dorado - Anthony was a wonderful guide who brought us to a beautiful, quiet beach club with lounges, umbrellas and a snack bar. One of our family members is elderly and everyone was super patient and accommodating with her inability to move quickly or easily. A plus all around!

Fabulous tour of Puerto Plata - We had a fabulous tour. It was very hot and the women didn’t want to spend the entire day at the beach. Since there was only the four of us we gout a tour walking around the central part of Puerto Plata. It was a fabulous tour, we saw the city hall, the cathedral, the umbrella street, a coffee/chocolate shop and ca rum tasting. They took us by van to the fort with a beautiful drive along the malacón. Tony, Anthony and the driver were great and we are looking forward to coming back. Tony took his time and described the history, the architecture, the style of living and the culture. He was a fabulous guide.

Excellent excursion to the beach resort in Puerto Playa - Our Beach Resort Excursion to Puerto Playa was perfect. I’d like to thank Rosie and her team for meeting us and making the experience wonderful. I appreciated the personal emails from Rosie with updates and all the information we needed. Also, the drivers were great, the beach resort itself was perfect for us, and another thank you to Anthony, who stayed at the resort with us, making sure we were well taken care. I would totally recommend this tour to anyone.

Great day at the beach - All was very good except for the long wait on the bus before leaving. Great service. Beach was great, could order drinks and food from your beach chairs or walk up to either of the two restaurants on the beach.
