Before the expedition had started, I already was upset cause my wife couldn’t go because she didn’t feel well. And although I thought it was nonsense, no sooner had we started the Tour and I was thankful she stayed at the apartment. It was a long tour albeit an exciting one, I still wished she could have come, even though I could clearly understand why she shouldn’t have. Keep in mind that for this trip you need to be in good physical condition.

I am in love with the peninsula of Samana ! Although this tropical country isn’t large, there are parts and places that are very different to the Punta Cana area, which is so well-known and popular among the tourists. Samana is one of such places. The Limon waterfall visit is also included in the excursion package. When we were there we saw a local climbed onto the cliff of the waterfall and dived down, it was interesting and exciting to see it.

I am an experienced traveler and have visited different countries and places, but the Dominican Republic is my favorite one because of the virgin nature, its beautiful views and a warm blue ocean. I can describe the stunning nature of the peninsula of Samana and the Bacardi island for a long time, but I would recommend everyone to see it with your own eyes, and do not forget to bring a good camera to take pics.

Full Day of making memories. The excursion is worth every dollar! We were picked up at our hotel at 6.30 a.m., it was a full long day. The organization was at the highest level, everything well scheduled. The Everythingpuntacana team knows well its business. We visited famous Bacardi island and had an adventurous tour to El Limon waterfall. We had good emotions and excellent mood. I would like to note that we had never seen so perfect nature before. Spare no expense for such a wonderful day! I highly recommend it !!
