  Great trip and wonderful tour guide!Highly recommended  - Was a great and fun trip! Went together with one of my best friend. We had the VIP experience.
Our guide, Alex, picked us up from hotel on time... read more at 6.30 am. We had a quick breakfast and bio stop approx half way before reaching our stop at bayahibe for to catch the boat to Saona Island.
The cruise was fun! We left on time and there was free flow of rum and sodas and everyone was in a cheerful happy mood. First stop was natural pool which was quite a large area where there is an accumulated sand which made the ocean floor quite shallow around chest high. The water was so clear and blue, it was wonderful! Many people was getting off the boat and swim. We were given 40 mins time before continuing our trip to Saona island.
The island itself was also lovely, aquamarine blue water, nice surroundings. Lunch was amazing, as we had the VIP experience we had a separate area and dishes. All of them were delicious!
Alex was there with us all the way. Very attentive to our needs and was very knowledgeable about the locations and attractions as well.
The whole trip was around 12 hours and was great! Highly recommended! Kudos to Alex who has been a great tour guide! Thank you!

  Lovely people, delicious food, interesting tour.. - The tour was educational. Francisco, our guide was incredibly informative not only about the locations but about navigating the pitfalls of being a tourist in a town that is full... read more of hawkers selling their wares. The Colonial zone is a beautiful place. I would love to take an entire day just to explore. Our driver, Robert, was also helpful and a pleasure to converse with. He had a very nurturing aura. The lunch included was delicious local fare. My extremely picky daughter finished the entire plate of beans and rice! Definitely recommend this tour.

  NATURAL & ANCIENT WONDERS GALORE  - DO YOURSELF A FAVOR GO!
For me the treat started with conversations while riding with thoroughly English-proficient & BILINGUAL Alex, who I learned lived in the states from his pre-adolescence... read more till a decade ago. Kind, considerate, charming and friendly he is knowledgeable and willing to engage one's wonderings and interests. His talk is informative as well as entertaining. That's just the guide! THE CAVERN Experience is magnificent and on its walls are mysterious and intriguing pictographs left by the indigenous Tainos whose fascinating culture is explored later in the trip at a local archaeological museum the subterranean lake is a thing of beauty. The guide THERE is versed in geology and the lore of the Tainos. He later takes one above passing gorgeous plant life and the fascinating wildlife sanctuary featuring free-roaming rhinoceros IGUANAS. Horseback trail is optional (I opted not to). Later we went to lunch with typical Dominican cuisine (which mightve been a bit more typical as it was sorely missing beans for the rice!) BUT ALEX ASSURES this place might not be on their itinerary next time. Cannot deny it was VERY TASTY. LATER we visited a beautifully designed cultural center set on the palisades along the Chavon River. There we visited the Archaelogy museum.with Taino artifacts. DO NOT GO ON A SUNDAY if you looked forward to cultural center's artisan demonstrations (it was closed) I wasn't heartbroken because the grounds around the closed buildings were gorgeous especially the plant life and a Greco-Roman style amphitheater.
Riding past the posh country club homes of the Elite who call CASA DE CAMPO home (seasonally) we go to the exclusive beach. Clean, quiet and serene with lots of amenities, and swimming pools the Caribbean beach sand powdery & the water calm, crystaline and tepid . made a perfect CHERRY ON TOP for a great day!

  Do it!  - Alex our guide was fantastic. Thoroughly enjoyed ever second. The caves are amazing. The whole tour was exactly what we wanted. I would do it again and highly recommend... read more to anyone who wants a mixed bag of a day. Ending up with a final relax on the beach.
