Beautiful boat ride, gorgeous beach, delicious meal & majestic whales - I think the title explains it all! My husband loves uncrowded, clean, swimmable beaches. I really wanted to see the whales. We experienced both! The tour guide, Franklin, was funny & knowledgeable.
After receiving a confirmation email that we would be picked up in front of our hotel which was on the list of pickup points, we received notice that we would not be able to be picked up at our hotel (which was not easy to access for buses) & had to walk a few blocks to the pickup spot.
Please keep in mind that these tours are compiled of many steps and pieces. My husband calls it “organized chaos.”. You may be picked up by one bus then be sent off on another bus. It may seem a little scary or sketchy at first, but it really is the Dominican way. If you have ever traveled to Thailand, the Middle East, China, or several other touristy places which have local populations dependent on bartering for services.
Recommendations: bring lots of sunscreen, bring hand sanitizer, always have some toilet tissue with you & a small bottle of liquid soap or soap sheets.

A lot better excursion through holiday rep - Booked a tour through TUI rep. Prompt pick up, a roll, cake and water given to everybody. Nearly an hour and a half watching 3 Whales. Fed local food on Bacardi Island and had nearly 4 hours to explore and relax. Leaving the island the captain spotted some whales and went out of his way to get near them. Very clean stop for a free drink, toilet break and a chance to buy souvenirs. The guide, Leon, very knowledgeable and helpful. Look very carefully at the deals on line to ensure you get what you paid for. The TUI excursion was fantastic.

Fun day - Pick up from my hotel was seamless (if a little early). The whales were great. The ride there was interesting. Loved lunch and time on the beach. Nacho told us some history of the island. Two recommendations, provide the guides with some information about whales and please don’t introduce politics into the trip.

Sensational ! - Sensational show! Thank you for this moment.
The bus ride is a bit long and above all too noisy… no need for a microphone all the time!
