it was great..beach was beautiful. Boat ride was a little scary for me but it was safe. I would have wanted to be a little warmer but the entire experience was good.

Beyond Amazing and I would pay way more for this tour!

Published on Aug, 2022

This tour was beyond amazing! It started out with a gentleman picking us up directly at our resort in a private vehicle to drop us off at another resort the Senator to catch a bus ride. The bus ride was amazing we went through all these small villages. We felt really safe. Going through one town we got to see someone shoot a pig in the head and tie a rope around the neck and drag the pig to the house (probably for dinner). It was really neat to see the authentic way the Dominican people live. We got to the ocean where there were little boats waiting to cruise us on the ocean and our driver was very experienced! He did every wave and bump perfectly and it never felt unsafe. I was a little nervous being on a small boat on the ocean as I have never done it before but the way he handled that boat eased my mind. The island was beautiful and the fish were amazing and the water was super clear and the water was shallow enough to swim and not struggle with any ocean waves or currents. If you are an inexperienced swimmer this is for you as well as experienced swimmers as the water can get deeper outside the coral. On the way back the water was choppy due to a storm brewing but for safety, they took us through the mangroves and he maneuvered that boat so well around all the trees without hitting any. I have never been through mangroves on a small boat and with such precision. It was so amazing and definitely memorable.
