My sister booked this excursion directly with Joyce via email and everything went smoothly. From the pickup at our hotel to the drop off at the end of the day, everything was excellent. Rafael and the other guides were just wonderful. We booked the full day and it was a great decision. We took trails thru the forest, the open... More

The Rancho Lorilar has EARNED the top Excursion Experience in Puerto Plata for a reason. After booking directly through Joyce via the website, my wife and I were welcomed as old friends upon arrival. Joyce's candid communication immediately put my wife and her nervous concerns about riding (first time) at ease. The true greatness of the experience was how Crazy... More

A big thank you to Joyce, Mad Alex and Angel for a fabulous morning riding. The ride up into the hills and the views were spectacular. A truly wonderful way to view the beautiful Dominican countryside. Joyce and her team were wonderfully welcoming, humorous and attentive. We would have done the full day but this wasn't on offer at the... More

After reading several extremely positive reviews (seriously I couldn’t find one negative comment or review), I contacted Joyce from Rancho Lorilar directly and within a couple of hours she responded and answered all of my questions. We exchanged several emails and when I finally met her it was like I’d known her for years…what a lovely, funny and caring lady.... More

Had a fantastic half a day with angel and crazy mike, joyce was so welcoming when we arrived it felt like we already knew her. We did half a day ride though in future i would recommend getting in touch with koyce through the website as we couldnt do the full day with thomson and it would have been cheaper.... More

My husband and I did the half day tour on 4/22/13. I emailed Joyce before our trip and booked directly through her. (We found out later that if you booked through your hotel the hotel gets 40%) When we finally met Joyce in person she has the same personality as in her emails (very personable). There was only one other... More

My girlfriend and myself visited the Dominican Republic for 2 weeks and loved this trip so much that we went twice! We originally went for the half day on my girlfriends birthday which we both loved. There was only a small group of 5 of us but it didn't matter, the guides were very good, lots of fun and knew... More
