THINK TWICE BEFORE GOING ON THIS TOUR. The problem? From being picked up at my hotel at 6:36 AM to being dropped off at 8:20 PM, I thought I would spend the majority of that time sunbathing and relaxing at the beach, but that was not the case. Out of those 14 hours the tour lasted, I only got to spend 3 hours at the beach. The rest of that time? It was spent on transportation, sitting on buses. This tour it’s not worth it, at least from Santo Domingo. So at 6:36 AM I was picked up, then they picked up another passenger before we were on the way. Half way to Bayahibe (where the boats were waiting for us) they switched us to a bigger bus. That bus had to stop at different resorts to pick up more people. Then at the beach in Bayahibe, a small boat took us to a Catamaran (switching again) and finally we were on our way to the island, and it took another hour to get there. By the time I got to the beach, it was 1:30 PM. I was already exhausted. Now, you go ahead and think about doing the same thing when it’s time to get back….no way. Never again.
