January 21/03 Princess Bavaro - Kenny our tour guide and Christian our driver were fabulous and very knowledgable. There were 6 of us in our group and we made many new friends. The day was absolutely fantabulous. Definately worth the money and time. Please take pencils, erasers, notebooks etc., for the tour guides to distribute to the local school children, your contributions are greatly appreciated.

My son had wanted to take this tour for his 13th birthday (Feb. 3, 2003), and what an adventure it was!!! Minual our guide, and Christian our driver, were both excellent...keeping the fun level to a maximum, while being totally knowledgable and informative. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a glimpse into the everyday lives of the Dominican Republic people, or to those that just want to party! Thanks, El Presidente and Vice, for the enjoyable experience!

Five of us females from Minnesota did the safari tour on Thursday, 1/23/03. It was SOOOOO fun!!! Boogie boarding and body surfing was a blast! I learned a tremendous amount about the Dominican culture and way of life from Tony. What a GREAT guy!! This was the highlight of my entire vacation! I can't wait to go back to Punta Cana and see my new friends at Outback Jungle Sufari. Thanks a for a spectacular day!!

On friday January 31st we had our Safari with Wes.It is amazing to still see people live the way they do in this day and age. Wes depicted this for us very well, with an upbeat attitude. The Dominicans are a beautiful people. Thanks for the good job of showing this to us.

We recently returned from the DR and also took the Outback Jungle Safari Tour and it was worth every penny! We had Ruddy as our Tour Guide and Winnie as our Driver. Ruddy was excellent! Very informative and funny! We still don't know how he managed not to fall off the back of the truck! Winnie was a perfect Gentleman! What a beautiful Country and Beautiful People! Don't miss this one!

We would highly recommend this trip to anyone! We went with a group of people from Aubuchon Hardware in New England and Tony was our tour guide. He took care of our EVERY need, telling us lots of things about his country, pouring us Rum & Cokes as fast as he could, making jokes, etc. He is extremely enthusiastic, speaks perfect English and damn cute!!!! We had the adventure of a lifetime and hope that everyone takes the time to go on this adventure during their stay in the DR. It is worth every minute of it!!! Also, our driver Candido was fantastic, very courteous and sweet. Thanks soooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Richard and Carlos made for a great day. All 20 people on our tour were from Canada and we had a great time. I don't know how Carlos managed to get our rig through some of those roads/trails but he did and not once did Richard fall off the end of the truck. Don't miss this trip!!

This adventure was very exciting. William (Willie) was our tour guide and he was one of coolest people I have met there. Willie showed all of us alot about the Dominican and he kept us laughing the whole time. I had so much fun and I would recommend this tour to everyone. This tour made me see every beautiful thing the dominican has to offer from the people to the land.

My family of 6 took the Outbacck Tour from the Sunscape Resort. We had a day of great fun with a group from Wisconsin. We enjoyed the country side, the lunch was great,the river refreshing, and the boogie-boarding beach beautiful. But I think the most enjoyable part of the trip was spending the day with RUDDY . he was very informative and he kept us all laughing. Our driver was good too. We all returned in one piece. I hope to one day return and enjoy Ruddy's company again. I would recommend this tour to everyone.

We just spent a wonderful week in the DR! The highlight of our trip was the Outback Safari with our amazing guides Tony D. and Ruddy V. These two were hilariously funny and taught us so many things about the dominican way of life. The stops at a local family's home and boogie boarding were our favorites. We wish we could have gone on the same trip more than just the one time during our vacation. Our guides spoke perfect english which made it so enjoyable and the other people on our jeep were very nice. This is a must while in the Dominican. PS: Tony--good luck with the new baby boy and Ruddy--hope to see you playing for the Yankees soon! Thanks for an amazing trip! We hope to be back soon!

We were in DR in January and had a wonderful time on our day trip on the Outback Safari. Our tour guide was Natcho. This guide was so wonderful and very knowledgable of his country. He was new at his job (29 days) but you would never know this. He made everyone fell as though he was a great friend since the the beginning of time. We had a great time telling him stories as he was doing the same. He made us aware of all the fruits that they produce on the island. To our surprise , we never thoght there was that much agriculture in the DR. I would recommend this trip to anyone young and the more mature to visit and get a real eye opener of this island. We got to apreciate how much they recycle conserve and make do with the little they have and how much we waste in our country and how much we take for granted. Regards, Roger Lalonde

The Outback Safari was the best tour of the Dominican Republic. The tour guide and driver were awsome which made the trip fun and exciting. This is one trip I will never forget. I was able to see how the people of the of the Dominican really live, something you cannot experience by lounging on a chair in a resort. I give this tour two thumbs up!! :o)

What a blast. Our guide Carlos was wonderful. Very knowledgeable & funny. He told us everything about the DR, from things about the trees to the car washes! Hilarious! Scooby our driver was also a hoot. The "Scooby Special" drink is a great hit. The local people are so friendly - always smiling & waving. All in all we give this tour a 11 out of 10. FANTASTIC!

hey guys!!! Well what can I say, brilliant!! Our guide was Angel and was very funny indeed! Danny was our driver and was also fantastic! The tour was brillant too, and I would recommend it to anybody. It's great fun and you learn about the country, culture and people. It's not for the older generation. I went with my family and my best friend, we're 16 and 17 and had an excellent time! Had fun facepainting with praprika! It also makes you realise how much we take for granted in our country's. Then after the tour there was boogie boarding!!!!! How cool! And if you dont know how to do it there's plenty of help avaliable. The drink kept coming troughout the tour, which is always a great thing. And it really inspired me to teach English in the D.R. All I can say to anyone considering it is, dont think about it just do it, it's fantastic and you wont regret it!

We took the Safari tour last Thursday, January 9th, while honeymooning in Punta Cana. Kenny was our tour guide and Leo, our driver. Although the weather was a little overcast, the tour was great! We enjoyed seeing the countryside, mingling with the natives, drinking the cubra libre, and boogie boarding in the Atlantic. Kenny and Leo made our trip fun and eventful! The thing we liked best about the trip was Kenny's ability to get the whole group talking. Before the day ended, we knew everyone's name and had made several friends. We hope to remain in contact with our friends even now that we are home. Thanks for a fun day guys!

Just arrived home from Dominican Rep.yesterday. i could not wait to log on to Outback Website. Our day with Carlos and Roberto will stay with me forever. To be able to learn about the people and the country from someone so knowledgable and so funny was a treat. Our family are real beach bums and intended to go no further than the beach this holiday. Thank goodness that Sammy inspired us at the welcome meeting to book this trip. Fantastic value for money!! I took pencils and some bubbles for the children - unbelievable to see their faces as Carlos blew the bubbles for them. I will never forget it and would go back to Dominican just to do it again! I would urge everyone to go for it.
