AMAZING!!! We had an absolute blast on this safari excursion. All the stops were very cool, and I even had a couple of snakes draped around my neck! We love all the local stops and fell in love with the scenery...especially the view of the mountains. We had 2 favourite parts of the trip...ONE was Macao Beach, an absolute beautiful postcard beach. We took some amazing pictures. Our SECOND favourite part was our tour guides, Juan and Leandro!!! They were Awesome!!! Very funny and Juan and I became friends too. I gave him my Cap!! Just wanted to let you know that these 2 Tour Guides do your tour great justice, and I will absolutely ask if we can get them on our next trip somehow!

This Tour was absolutely amazing! it was so much fun and you learn a ton about dominican culture, like how people live and how the country makes money and the fact that dominicans love rum. I would recomend this to anyone and everyone, even kids who get bored and hate tours (this is usually me) because your entertained the whole time. the guides know a lot and will let you ask any questions that dont have anything to do with the tour which is great as well. trying all the different foods and this were great and boogie boarding was awesome. The guide and driver Leandro and Candy were also fabulous!

We took the tour the first week of March, 2009. Even though it poured rain for much of the day, we had an amazing time. Gregory, our guide, was phenominal. He explained Dominican culture, geography, politics, religion and more. The day we spent in the country on the tour was easily the best day of our vacation. If you're going to the Dominican for the beach, but still want some culture and 'the real Dominican', take this tour!! Thanks again, Gregory and Papi.

Simply put, we had a fantastic time! Sammi and Leo were terrific hosts and ambassadors for you're country. They worked hard to make sure everyone on the trip had a safe, fun and informative trip. Especially impressive was the response of the Outback team when one of the "family" on the trip fell ill and was quickly returned to they're hotel, they even let us know that the guest had arrived "home" safely and was doing fine. It was terrific knowing that the Outback group is also "giving back" to the community with the regalia sales, it makes you feel good that even while having fun you can help out in a small way. Great job, keep up the good work! The food was great, drinks plentiful and we learned something,not a ... day....hope we meet again!

My husband, myself, & 8 others in our group took our tour on 4/6/09. Sammy was our guide & Papi our driver. Sammy provided excellent information about DR. We learned much about DR culture, customs, & people. Each stop on our tour was an eye opener for all. Both Sammy & Papi were humorous. Refreshments were plentiful. The only suggestion I have is: DO NOT purchase any of the woven products folks are selling. (Hats, bowls, etc.) You CANNOT take them out of DR. USDA Collaborative at the airport will confinscate every one of the woven items thus you're out the money.

Our Outback Safari excursion was amazing. Our guide, Jesse, was incredible. He was very informative as well as entertaining. We had a ton of fun. The food was incredible and our driver Jose was wonderful. I would recommend to anyone travelling to the D.R. to do an Outback Safari Excursion. Thank you for the great experience. Cindy

My new hubby and I did this tour on March 20th, we had so much fun on the Outback Safari! Ruddy was our tour guide and he was a riot :) Victor was our driver. We learned alot about the Dominican culture and found out that I LOVE sugarcane! I will never forget this wonderful adventure. I will recommend this tour to anyone I hear coming out your way. Hope we can do it again someday. Thanks for the memories! :) Brenda & Colin from Canada

This was the best money spent on any tour that I've ever taken (3/31/09). Alex and Manny (the driver) were great. It felt like we were talking with old friends. The infomation and sites were detailed and interesting. But the greatest "gift" of all was the children at the school. I will never forget that. We are thinking very strongly about helping your effort with the schools. Not sure how, but I've like to be a part that. Wonderful tour. Very professional, but loads of fun.

We just got back from Punta Cana and the best part of our trip was the Outback Safari. Our guide Alex and driver Ceasar were great. This trip was a great way to experience the Dominican Republic. Alex our guide was very informative and made the trip fun for everyone. We have two children (age 3 and 1) who had a lot of fun two. I recommend this trip to anyone who is going to the Dominican Republic.

What can I say but...Oh my goodness!! It rained the whole time we were on our excursion and we didn't even care. Our tour guide was Angel and our driver was Scooby. If you ever want to meet someone who loves what he does, then listen to Angel. His passion for his country and his people is so heartwarming. From driving down the bumpy back roads, to seeing someone's home, to eating their food,visiting a local school,seeing how coffee and cocoa are made, to posing with an alligator and the riverboat ride and finally the boogie boarding in the ocean, I couldn't even begin to tell you what an amazing day we had.I am so impressed by how much this company does to help their own. What a blessing they are to their community. If you ever get a chance to do this while in the DR, it is definitely worth every penny.

I have to say the Outback Safari was the highlight of my recent vacation. Our tour guide, Alex, and driver, JR, were the best. Alex shared lots of info on life and work on the island. Both of them were very kind to our new friends, Frank and Wanda, who have problems getting around. Thanks Guys!!! Big thumbs up:)

Our tour date of Sunday March 15,was so much fun!! The group was entirely Canadian. I was pleasantly surprised that our guide Ruddy was so knowledgable about Canada. We also had the opportunity to meet the tour manager while we were boogie boarding.Ruddy is an excellant guide who took the time to have a conversation with every person on our tour. He was kind and respectful to the villagers that we met at each stop. Joel (our wonderful driver) never missed a pothole or a low hanging tree branch!! This was a fantastic tour and will tell all our friends about the crazy fun time we had in the "Outback"

My family HIGHLY recommends this trip. Our guide was George and we genuinely loved his ability to empart tons of information in a fun passionate way. My father, husband, 4 and 16 year old sons and I all had a great time. You must go if you have the opportunity and if you can, ask for George as your guide!
