This was the BEST! We did the dolphin swim at Ocean World, Freestyle Catamaran Sailing/Snorkling and the Outback Safari. While we enjoyed the other 2, the Safari (we went on Mar 21), thanks to our guide Kenny, was outstanding. His knowledge of the DR and his sense of humour made the day. Would definitely do this again, especially if Kenny was available. We have already recommended this adventure to friends heading to the DR in April.

We went on the safari on March 2, 2004 and what an amazing adventure! Papa Nacho and Mama Candy were excellent guides! The way Nacho makes rum and coke was outstanding, a pure talent! The safari was informative and offered visitors a feeling of what the Dominican Republic has to offer! What a beautiful island! Boogie boarding was also a blast! Can't wait to go back and take part in this excursion again! Keep up the good work Nacho and Candy!!!!!

Michael,Cathy and Adam We took the tour March 5.It was the best excursion of any vaction we've ever taken. Our tour guide Dios was very knowledgable and very well spoken in English. The driver Victor was also great hoot. The experience was one I would highly recommend. We would definitely do it again. It is nice to see they support the places we visited schools, homes and the local off roads we drove on the safari. Cabarete boogie boarding is outstanding even for non swimmers water is waist deep. ps bring pens pencils erasers etc. for the schools if you care don't forget the sunblock and lots of film you really don't want to miss the best picture on the D.R.

My husband & I went on the OutBack Safari on March 3, 2004. It was the adventure of a life time. Mark was our tour guide and Victor the driver and bartender and they were both fabulous!! We learned and saw so much. We had a blast and met new friends. If you are going to try any of the tours......this is the one to try.

My Fiance Mike and I did the Outback Safari on the 26th of February. It was by far a fabulous excursion. Jesse was our tour guide and Joel was our driver. They both ensured the we were happy and laughing throughout the day. We were amazed at the amount of knowledge that Jesse had, not only of the Dominican, but also of other countries. We now know that Winnie-the-Pooh is from Winnipeg (ha, ha). This is one excursion that we will never forget and the one excursion we will without doubt book again when we return. Jesse and Joel, thanks for showing us around the beautiful Dominican Republic and keep up your enthusiastic attitudes and wonderful work.

HEY EVERYONE i went on the ourback safari tour on the 25th of february and i absolutely loved it. it was by far the funnest day of my 7 day stay at puerto plata. our tour guide jessie was by far one of the funniest most knowledgeable people i have ever met. he was just so full of life and humour and it showed that he loved his job and truly cared for the dominican people down there. he was so enthusiastic about everyhting he talked about and made sure everybody felt comfortable and involved us as much as possible. That day was my birthday and he always made sure i had a smile on my face and made my day very memorable. the day was jam packed with so many things to do like body boarding, swimming in a strong current, visting a local school and dominican house and shopping for rum, cigars and coffee at a local price (3$ for a bottle of rum) well worth the trip!! the trucks are also very comfortable! by the end of the day, everybody on the truck were so much at ease and it was sad to leave and say goodbye to our tourguide even if it had only been a few hrs together!! i highly recommend this tour, and if u get jessie, i assure you that it will be an unforgettbale day!!

Vaue of the tour outweighted the cost!! A fun and informative day. Munchie and Poppi took care of us as their hospitality combined with a "safety first" memtality made for a great ride. The lunch was outstanding as well a noshing on sugar cane, sodas and beer. Just cracked open my first coconut and am drinking the freshly cocoa every night. Looking forwrd to sending a care package to the lovely sponsired family.

Went on 3 tours on our trip to Punta Cana. This BY FAR was the GREATEST. Our guide Eddie was extremely knowledgeable and so patient to put up with all of us. Even the drunks. This tour shows you the REAL Dominican Republic. The kindness and friendliness of the Dominican people showed every where we went. Eddie, I know you have dreams of being a baseball player, but I remember your comment about doing God's will. I think He has given you a gift of communication to reach out to others and show them the real heart and soul of your country. Keep up the great job and may you be showered with God's blessings amigo.

We just got back from the Dominican Republic. We booked the outback safari for a Saturday and we cannot think of anything ... to say about it. It was the highlight of our trip. Seeing the Dominican people and how they live, really sheds a light on what really is important in life. Henry was our driver and Jessie was our tour guide. We met other tour guides as well and we have to say, they couldn't have been more friendly and knowledgeable. It was great to see how these people live. Just a little tip though, bring some stuff to give the kids for school. We brought pencils, erasers, pencil sharpeners, coloring books and crayons, whistles and candy and Jessie gave them to the kids after the tour. This is a very poor area and they can use all the supplies they can get to help them out. We bought t-shirts and hats also in which the proceeds went to these kids. This tour is a must! Have fun!

We took the outback tour February 9th and it was the best time. Our tour Munchie and Driver Danny were so much fun and Munchie was very knowledgeable not only about the Dominican Culture but the entire world. It was such a relief to have someone who spoke excellent english. The Rum and 7up were out of this world and they were so good my husband and his friend drank them the next day. Keep up the great work and thanks for the best part of our vacation

Just back from Dom. Republic and went on the tour with my guide being Alex. Ala all the 'champagne's Alex coaxed me into drinking has made me foget the drivers name all i can remember is that he has the best 'driving licence' in the word. What an excellent tour I am already planning my return and when i do will definetly go back on the outback tour. I learned so much but laughed so much more. The beautiful scenery was an added bonus. What a great gang of people work for your company and will endeavour to spread the word of what a great trip this is. Thanks for a million memories :)

This tour was awesome! I recommend it to anyone! Thomas, our guide, was hilarious. He definitely made the adventure more enjoyable! Rudy was great too! It was by far the best day spent in the Dominican and we recommended it to everyone at our hotel! The Boogie Boarding was the most fun I've had in a long time! Thanks for a great time and next time I come to the Dominican I will definitely take the tour again!! Cheers!

We just got home from vacation 2 days ago and I HAD to write to thank you for the EXCELLENT time I had on the north coast adventure! Angel V. was a great guide, very funny and knowledgable and our driver, Junior, got us safely to our destinations. It's unbelievable how beautiful the Dominican is. I'm so glad I took the time to see what was outside our resort. Seeing how people live really makes me appreciate how lucky I am to have so many luxuries that I take for granted (like running water and electricity). Thank you for the great time! PS: I'll never look at a car wash in the same way again! (tee hee!)

An amazing and unforgettable day! Rudy is a very capable and knowledgable guide and represents his country well. He makes life in the Dominican real to tourists through his telling of history, life today and of couse none of this would be near so interesting without Rudy's humour. Rudy and all the tours guides treated us very well, took particular care with those who are 'older' to ensure their safety in and out of trucks, boats, etc. - To anyone intersted...don't miss this day...you'll be talking about it long after you return home.

We highly recommend this tour! The scenery was breathtaking-absolutely some of the most spectacular vistas we have seen in the Carribean or anywhere. Our guide, Paul provided plenty of interesting information about DR culture and history. We purchased some of the high quality local items available for sale at excellent prices (chocolate, rum, coffee). The lunch was delicious and Paul was a very accommodating bartender – he makes a perfect (and spill proof) rum and 7! The last stop of the day is a beautiful beach for boogie boarding before heading back..Definitely a wonderful day and the highlight of our trip!
