Great! - Everything went exactly as planned and the entire experience was smooth from start to finish. The visit to Dunas de Baní was incredible — the landscape truly feels like a desert, and the short hike to the dunes was enjoyable with plenty of opportunities to take amazing photos. Sandboarding was a lot of fun, and the guides made sure everyone felt comfortable and prepared. After the dunes, we headed to El Derrumbao Beach, where we took a short hike to the snorkeling spot. The walk was easy and scenic, and the water adventure was definitely a highlight. The snorkeling experience was beautiful, with lots of marine life to observe, including colorful fish and large schools swimming around us. The guides were organized, friendly, and everything ran on time. Overall, a well-planned activity that delivered exactly what was promised — highly recommended for anyone looking for adventure and nature in one experience.

A great time! - It was a fantastic experience. Jonathan was a wonderful guide. Very informative and a pleasure to be around. He was timely with his pick-ups and drop-offs. The beaches were gorgeous, and it was a magical experience seeing all those fish while snorkeling.Sandboarding down the dunes was a rush, and the view from the top was gorgeous. Do be mindful that if you go to the dunes, you’ll get sand literally everywhere. Highly recommend.

10/10 Experience! - I am a Spanish professor, and I booked this trip to Santo Domingo as a way to relax and have some time to myself before the school year started. However, because I can't sit still, I booked this excursion, and I'm so glad that I did! I was able to try something new and exciting (the sand boarding), use my Spanish, relax in the ocean, and eat some delicious local cuisine. Thank you so much for a wonderful time! I can't wait to come back to Santo Domingo.

The lunch was delicious, rice beans and fish, feeding the iguanas was fun and hilarious! Overall an amazing experience and worth every penny! I will be doing this again next time I’m back in RD.

One of the Best day trip close to Santo Domingo. - Very nice spot, The dune is beautiful and you can even surf on it if you dare to, or to do like sledding. Very fun!! Easy going day trip, pick up at your hotel in Santo Domingo early morning and back on the afternoon. The guide John Tineo is very nice and helpful! Beach and swim are nice too after sand surf session.
