We just returned from a weeks vacation in the Dominican Republic (1st time). On January 12th we went on the Outback Jungle Safari with Angel as our guide and Henri as our driver. I can't thank both of you enough for the great day. I had my two boys with me (13 and 10 years old) and thanks to you they saw how hard life can be in other parts of the world. Now they finally realize how fortunate they are. We had brought school supplies and clothing with us and Angel let me give our gifts to the teachers at the school. It's true that every little bit helps and believe me, I felt great being able to just give a little. Thanks again for the great adventure, we will surely recommend you to everyone we know and will spend another day with you next time we visit the Dominican Republic.

Just wanted to say a a little bit about our day, we got picked up by Omar and his Driver and set off on a our days adveture, all was going well until lunchtime when disaster struck, My wife had a severe reaction to the malaria tablets and started to be sick. As soon as we had loaded the truck to leave my wife was getting worse, i said to Omar that she was very ill and i have never witnessed such care and attention by both Omar and his driver. Not only did they both help by keeping her cool and trying to support her as she kept fainting but they drove us to the nearest village and arrnage for a private taxi to get us back to the hotel. We also had two Childreen on the trip ages 4 & 6 who Omar made sure where ok to the point out youngest fell a sleep on him. So if you are reading this guys Thanks for all your help on that day.
We would highly recommend this trip to all who visit the island.

Hi, We visited the DR for X-Mas 2005 with our 3 children 15,12 and 11 and, went on the safari on Dec 27th. Cudos to Angel V and Jose, wonderful day! The ride was wild but, at all times safe. Angel was very well spoken and no questions were ever left unanswered. I thought an 8 hr day for this tour might be a little much on our 3 kids but,they still are smiling and telling all their friends about the experience. A very beautiful place to visit and further enhanced by this well organized safari. Wishing you the very best until we come back for Safari Adventures II. Kindest Regards, Joe and Deborah

My 5 year old daughter and I really enjoyed the tour. Although she was too small for the boogie boarding, she had a blast jumping in the waves on the shore. We saw a lot of Republica Dominicana that we wouldn't have experienced staying on the resort. Our guide, Angel, was very well spoken and entertaining. Being able to get off the transportation and wander around the sites was an added bonus not available on bus tours. (PS the prices for the items at the "recommended" stops were pretty good.)

My honey Max and I took the North Coast tour on Tues Dec 27th while vacationing in Sun Village. FANTASTIC, EXCITING, INFORMATIVE are the three words that come to mind. Jessie was our guide (exciting interesting man he is) he made learning about the mountains and people so interesting you didn't want the day to end. JR was our driver, one word for him CUTE ! We've told all our friends about this tour and I'm sure will be telling more people as time goes on. Keep up the good work guys, it was Great!

Hello to Daniel Family and driver Candido! Took the tour on Dec 27 and very happy we did! Stocked up on coffee, caoco and cinnamon. Amazing scenery and learned tons of facts about the Domincan we didn't know! Hope to make it down again some day to do the tour with the waterfalls!

Jose was an excellent driver, and George a fantastic guide - intelligent, helpful and oh, so entertaining! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone planning a trip!

What a great way to see the beautiful country! We had a great time with Daniel as our guide and Ramon as our driver. I would highly recommend this tour to others visiting the country, it was a terrific way to learn about the country, culture and dominican lifestyle. There was always plenty of cold water, cola, beer and rum. Lunch was very good and boogie boarding on the beach was a fantastic end to the day. We were so happy that we chose to take a day for this tour - time well spent.

My wife and I went on the Outback Safari on Dec. 6 2005 while on our honeymoon. This was a great experience and was well worth the money. Our guide was Omar and Leo was our driver. They work great together and make the day alot of fun. We also met some cool people from Wisconsin and Michigan. If you like to learn about different cultures and see the real Dominican Republic all while drinking very heavily this is the tour for you. I can't say enough about this tour. Don't miss this tour!!!!!

We went out on Dec. 5, with our driver Leo and our Guide Alex. It was an awesome day out in the sun. I would highly recommend this tour. The most awesome part was seeing the children. I brought along a lot of school supplies and gave them to our guide at the end of the tour to give to the children in one of the schools they sponsor. I would recommend that you request Alex as your guide. He was very well informed, his English is excellent and it is clear he loves his country. He handled all the people on our tour with a great sense of humor.

Absolutely loved this tour! Started out with an awesome guide Angel V!! Him and Scooby Doo rocked! Tequila song that all the locals knew and the constant information were fabulous.
