This is an absolute must. Your guides are amazing. The horseback riding and zip lining are a lot of fun. The traditional Dominican meal of fried chicken was amazing. Could not all for a better tour of a working farm with bananas, cacao, and coffee. All of the hosts are so friendly. The intamacy if a small group was excellent.
Amazing tour guide! So happy I was able
To do this tour. The instructor was such a great vibe! The cocoa house has some really good coffee! If I can do this again I would!!
AMAZING value! I would expect this tour to cost easily $200 per person in USD- well worth it to me! It was an *all day* excursion and the tour guide (Voja?) was attentive to our wants/ needs- brought drinks to us, stayed longer at different stops etc. I told him his boss needs to give him a raise because his customer service shined through. Came with a photographer as well! Not sure if this was for a media blast or if it’s standard in the package- but I enjoyed having her there.
One jeep did breakdown but we had a mechanic on hand to handle the issues, and fortunately we were all friends and could cram into one jeep. Would recommend better jeep maintenance as it seems to be a reoccurring issue. Thus- having the maintenance guy travel with us lol.
We had the best time with Welcome and Bono. The excursion was amazing and educational. We enjoyed the interactive aspect. Everything from the jeep ride. To the visit with Christian was more that words can describe. This is must!
An amazing, fun-filled day. We covered land (jeeps, horse back riding), water (Macao beach), air (zip-lining), and also took in the cultural sights and sounds of Dominican Republic (friendly locals, cigar factory, chocolate and cocoa roasting, indigenous plants). The guides were very knowledgeable, and elevated our experience with their sense of humour and insight. A well-curated, and adventurous day out. The 100+ free photos are also a nice bonus. Highly recommended!
If you're traveling to the Dominican Republic this is a must do! This tour is great for couples, families, or friends. My wife and I had an absolute blast and we got so much more than what we thought we were paying for. The guides were friendly, informative, and we felt safe the entire time. The jeeps were older and beat up a little, which is exactly what I wanted for the authentic feel. I wouldn't change anything in the tour. Thanks again Just Safari!!!
Awesome awesome
Best tour I have ever took. If I could do this tour again I would. The guides were awesome and very attentive. Every place they took us to was amazing. The food was also really good. All authentic food
A MUST! The excursion was amazing. The drivers arrived at the resort on time. The jeeps were well maintained and both easy and fun to drive. We covered many miles and got to see local towns as well as the beautiful Dominican scenery.
We went to a local man's home where he graciously welcomed us and showed us his house and property. We got to try delicious fruits picked right from the trees, and he showed us how he roasts his own coffee and cocoa beans to make hand ground coffee and cocoa. It was amazing!
Next we went horseback riding through the trees and a river. It was breathtaking! The horses were extremely well-behaved and well cared for. They are not your typical American stock breed of horse so some seemed concerned they were too thin, however, I've been around horses all my life and it was easy for me to see that they were just a leaner but strong breed. We then zip lined which was also a lot of fun!
Our third stop was at a local cigar makers home. We learned how the tobacco is harvested and prepared for rolling. We actually got to roll our own cigars! We were able to sample some of their best flavored cigars as well as able to purchase our own from their shop. They were gracious hosts!
Our final stop on the excursion was at a beachside little restaurant where we got to eat a local dish. The food was AMAZING!!
This by far is worth the money and it's a trip you won't ever forget!
Amazing day! Horses, zip lining, cigar making, Christian's Ranch, lunch at the beach . Great people
