Breathtakingly beautiful - We were yesterday on our first trip, which we booked through our tour guide Simone from derTours. We consciously decided to do so because we had a contact person and knew nothing about being blown away. We were first on the Montana Reonda mountain, then we continued to the salto yaniqua ranch and from there into the mangroves of los Haitises. It was a dream. The excursion was led by Susi in German, we experienced adventurous routes by bus, unbelievably great views and learned a lot about the country and people through Susi. We were traveling with 2 children (6-12) and both were also delighted. The excursion includes everything from adventures to historical to geographically exciting stories and we would book it again anytime:)

Good package with long transfer - Tour guide Susi is a super woman who gave good insights into life in the Dominican Republic. She always had funny sayings in store. The trip itself was also great and very varied. Only the long transfer rides were a bit exhausting in the end.

Experience and nature tour - Was a great experience of the trip for the whole family. Montana Redonda with panoramic views of half Hispaniola gigantic. The great German-born Susi is the hit. Brings a lot of experience and stories with a super. Yanugua Ranch great watchy. Traditional Dominican food is served here. A waterfall and spa bath. The Amber Man shows his findings and tells about the ranch. Coffee chocolate may be tasted. Donkey Mary says goodbye to us and gets coconut bread for it. Finally, nice with powerboat through the mangroves. Lots of nature bats and Indian pictures in the caves. Stories about Los Haitises National Park. An old railway line collapsed. Used for loading at the time. Lots of birds and nature. Powerboat from Local family. Rounds out the finale.

Tolle Tour - We were on 30.08.2024 with Susi as tour guide and Louis as driver. We really enjoyed the tour. We were able to take many beautiful photos. Susi gave us many interesting things about the cathedral. Rep. and their inhabitants told. The view from the mountain, the swim stop as well as lunch and the boat ride through the national park were beautiful experiences!

Great Tour! - Susi and the team were very organized and professional. We booked the 3 in 1: Los Haites Tour and loved how this tour showed us the culture side of DR. We booked with the english tour guide and the group was a great size. Mostly Europeans and some Americans but super chill. I like this tour because it connects you to the culture and nature. It will be a meaningful long day if you like to be in nature or chill.

Great trip and recommended to everyone!!! - Very interesting excursion with Susi as class tour guide. You have seen a lot and also learned a lot about life on the island. Can only recommend!!! The only drawback, however, was that there were no chilled drinks on the bus ride (cooler would have been advantageous).

Views & Guides - The views were amazing. I enjoyed every part of the journey. Especially seeing how chocolate is made from cocoa and the trek up the mountains. The only thing that I would recommended is that the guide get more educated about Haiti. It was uncomfortable to hear the guide talk down about their neighboring country.
