Our guide Jessey and driver Roberto showed us the real Dominican while teaching us about the land and people, and providing us with a fabulous day in the countryside. The tours of the house and school were very informative and we were glad we had brought a suitcase full of stuff for the children. The boogie boarding was great fun and we enjoyed the happy seven's made by Jessey! It was a day well spent!

We took the outback safari week of March 17, 2003. What a great trip this was. Kenny our tour guide was the best. He was very infomative about the country and answered all our questions. Besides that he knew how to keep us entertained and make us laugh. If you have the chance go on this tip it is worth your while for a day. You'll enjoy the sites and atmosphere of the people your with. Kenny hope to see you next year!!!!!!!!!!

We were very impressed by the Outback Safari. Our guide Geraldo was superb. He was the best guide we have ever had anywhere. Truly a host and a teacher. Had we failed to take your tour, we would have departed the Dominican Republic without the real world experience. Geraldo showed us his country in a very professional and enjoyable way. What a superb tour guide.

The Outback Safari is definitely worth the time and the money spent!! We took our tour on 3/12 and had a blast. Eddie our guide and Vito our driver were the perfect combination for an incredible day!! Eddie has you laughing and singing (and drinking!) all day long.

The tour was great and the guides were awesome, they were down to earth and extremely knowledgable. If there are some who plan on going on this excursion i highly recomend asking for Rudy as your guide and Roberto as your driver. Rudy is young, energetic, and funny.

We had a wonderful day with Ruddy as our tour guide. I think he deserves a raise!!! He did a wonderful job informing us of all we needed to know about the Dominican Republic as well as keeping us amused and well stocked with booze. Keep up the good work.

The March my mother, best-friend and another friend took a trip to sosua. My mother and her friend had gone the year before and had done the safari and enjoyed it very much. This year we went too. It was great Jesse and Scouby were our guides and drivers and they made it very fun to be with, the year before my mother had Carlos and was very sad that he had been fired (since she was hoping for him again). We are pleased to see that the everything helps. If we do do the safari again we will bring along more book and school suplies(since we brought some this year) and clothes and shoes for the children. It makes you feel sad and in awe when you see the families and the children. We wish everyone the best Tara with wishes from:Jenn, Barb and Judy

We had to wait an extra day to take our Outback Safari adventure (thanks to a taxi strike) but it was well worth the wait! Francesco was amazing! He answered all our questions and we saw a side of the Dominican Republic most don't. Keep up your wonderful work on behalf of the children - we applaud you in your works in this area.

My girlfriend and I recently returned from Punta Cana and one of the most memorable moments about the vacation was the outback safari. Our tour guide Tony Diaz and the best driver Donnie were simply amazing. Thank you for showing us a wonderful time and making our vacation and safari worth while.

I was staying at the Talenquiera Beach resort, the highlight of my trip was definitely the Outback tour. I was on holiday myself so venturing out of the resort was obviously a bit daunting but from the moment i stepped on board the large truck type vehicle i felt at ease. We made friends instantly and all started talking about how our holiday was going so far, The guide then introduced himself and the fun began. The tour guide Wes was brilliant he was so funny and informative, he told us all about the history and showed us some amazing sites. I thought it was a really good thing that they are doing, helping the children from the Dominican Republic do things that they might not have had the chance to do for example go to school etc.. I will definitly be going back to the Dominican Republic and when i do the first thing i will do is book a Outback Jungle Safari tour. I would like to thank the organisation for the chance to see part of the country i wouldnt have seen otherwise.

On March 17, 2003 my travel companion, Karen, and I toured with Tony as our guide and Danny as our driver. Both are exceptionally accommodating and highly focused on customer service. The tour was informative, educational, fun and Tony is a very well spoken fellow with a wealth of information. Unfortunately, we had a young American man on the tour with us who was entirely too drunk -- to the point that it was bothersome to most and spoiled the tour for others. I believe that a safe, health conscious, responsible policy regarding alcohol use/abuse on the safari is a policy your company should consider instituting so your guides have a means of providing limits and comfort for all passengers. Please tell Tony that I have a couple of Detroit Red Wings tee-shirts for his kids if he'd like to contact me via email

Papa Carlos and 'speedy' Daniel gave my wife and i the greatest adventure ever. Highlights were boogy boarding and enjoying 'happy pops' along the way. I highly recomend the tour, everyone on our bus would have agreed

Hi just got back from Puerto Plata, we left Punta Goleta Beach Resort at 10.00 am and got back around 4 pm. This tour is AMAZING I would highly recommend it to anyone (may not be recommended for older persons or people with back problems)Sammy was our tour guide and was fabulous, Felix (the cat) was our driver and equally fabulour. They made the trip fun and safe. We visited a typical dominican home, saw the country side and learned alot of stuff, saw the schools, churches, clinics, other homes, beautiful flowers, went to the river for a swim and picnic lunch (very good food)market shopping, a tiny zoo, a riverboat tour, boogie boarding or playing in the waves and home. I would recommend sunscreen, hats and beach towels.

We went on the safari during the week of February 16; our guide was Willis (or Easy as he indicated). Willis is a very knowledgeable individual and you could see he was proud to transmit this knowledge to us. Although this was our 8th trip to DR and we have been on a similar tour 5-6 years ago, we enjoyed every minute of the outback safari. It was a great day; our eyes were not large enough to take all the beauty that surrounded us; and everyone we met in the back country was very nice. If you go to DR, you must absolutely take this tour.

My wife and I just returned from vacation to the Dominican Republic and had a great time. We took the Outback Safari on March 14, 2003 and it was the highlight of our trip. Eddie (our Guide) and Damien (driver) were the best. They were very professional and worked extremely well together. They were very funny and made the entire group feel a part of the family. At the same time they showed us the beauty and friendliness of your country. It is obvious that this is a well supervised and well thought out adventure and I would highly recommend this safari to anyone. Great Job!

We just got back from our vacation in the sun and all we keep thinking of is the Outback Adventure with Gregory as guide and Danny as driver. Gregory's vast knowlege of history, social structures and religion combined with his sence of humor made this a wonderful memory. By the end, we really felt we had visited the country, its people and came away with great admiration for both. Gregory even jumped off the truck to rescue Cindy's hat and painted our faces with Paprika symbols, making us all his family. Thanks sooooo much for the energy and enthusiasm you put into these adventures in the name of your country and its people!

Deb and I were on our honeymoon and really enjoyed out Dominican Republic Vacation. The shining star of the trip was our Outback Safari tour. Tony and Louis wre the best and the funniest guides. We learned a great deal of the local culture and enjoyed the beauty of the country. We also enjoyed the RUM !!! We highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting your country. Thanks for the great time. "Tony is the best tour guide !!" Keith and Deb Bartlett
