Very nice discovery thank you 🙏 - First of all, a huge thank you to Suzy our guide of the day, beyond the all very interesting activities, she shared with us throughout the day the history of the Dominican Republic, its customs etc... a day rich in knowledge, thank you thousand times for your generosity and your sharing! Then there is Augusto, our driver, thank you very much for your kindness and this good behavior throughout the day! Regarding activities, we visited the park of Haitis by catamaran, superb 🤩 following, we went to visit the cave of Tainos, very nice too! Big crush for the ranch where we could enjoy a typical Dominican meal in the heart of the jungle and all facing a superb waterfall in which we bathed! The place is beautiful and unexpected, a real surprise!!! To finish the day, we set out on top of a mountain to dominate 360 degrees the Dominican Plateau. Only downside of the day, the journey is very long, lots of buses but it was worth it considering the wonders we discovered. If you want to dive into the heart of the Dominican Republic and discover the hinterland this excursion is made for it!

Child and Family Friendly! - Family and child friendly, food was great and freshly made from their kitchen. You also got to go into the beautiful river and use the clay within the river to do a body and face mask. Best of the best! Highly recommend!
