Thank you very much 2 Bananas for organizing the wedding of the dream!!!
I couldn’t even imagine that people could love what they do so much! That's why I decided to share my experience with you. The company's employees are real professionals: they are always in touch and calm you down when you are nervous before such a special event. The transfer arrived on time, the car was clean and the driver was smiling, the beach is comfortably hidden in a palm grove where you can enjoy privacy.
The wedding host joked and encouraged us as we were worried and nervous. Everything was very romantic and fun. The photographer and videographer made us laugh, the guys helped us, very gently guiding and suggesting. High class organization! I also liked the fruit plate and cold champagne)) I recommend it with all my heart

The team with Dos Bananas was amazing. Our coordinator was responsive, and even tracked weather hour by hour with us the day of to make a final call with incoming rain. The make up and hair artist, Natasha, did a phenomenal job and was friendly and easy to talk to. The wedding itself was well done, on time and the officiant made sure we were comfortable. The photographer and videographer kept us laughing and made sure we had fun through the process as well. Highly recommend for a zero stress experience in destination weddings!

Hello☀️
Organizing my wedding in the Caribbean was my dream!
But I didn’t know at all how or what to do, although I was getting married for the second time.
Based on reviews, I found the company 2 Bananas and wrote to them🌴
And from that moment on, I didn’t worry anymore, thanks to them for such a high-quality organization and wonderful attitude towards their clients😊
We arrived at the beach when the sun was already approaching the horizon, the temperature was comfortable, and the ocean was beautiful and calm.
The ceremony was conducted by the wedding host named Miguel, a very pleasant person who created a romantic atmosphere for us.
After the ceremony, we cheerfully opened champagne, ate fruit, and danced to our song.
My husband said this was the best day of his life🙏🏼
Everything went just PERFECT! Better than I could have imagined, and I still have a couple hundred amazing photos as memories💕✨

Hello! We went on two excursions, we really enjoyed it, especially the beautiful island of Saona. The team is friendly and sociable. We flew to the Dominican Republic for a wedding and honeymoon... (for two weeks :)) We ordered services from this agency: tours, pre-wedding makeup and hairdressing services, a wedding ceremony. We all agreed a few months before the trip. We are very disappointed to have to cancel our wedding ceremony that we had been preparing for for months. The evening before the ceremony they wrote that the photographer was not feeling well, so they would not be able to marry us. They said that it’s okay, we can have a wedding another day (you should have seen my husband’s reaction... I still see it) How many of you have heard of a wedding being canceled because someone is simply not feeling well? ? After all, they could have asked another person, because this is a fairly large agency, they really did not do well. It's still unpleasant. It was two years ago. And the makeup in their salon is bad. I liked the hairstyle. Thank you.

Dos Bananas helped me prepare for my surprise engagement! Alisa was always responsive with my emails. Tatiana and Giovanni were amazing photographers and videographers! My (now) fiancée was surprised and delighted! The setup was great and we were so lucky with the beautiful sunset! Thank you Dos Bananas for making our experience in Punta Cana the most memorable! 🙏❤️

Booking through Dos Bananas was easy. Taxi showed up on time. Tour itself was great and Semana was the highlight of our trip, I would highly recommend going there, just make sure you get a different tour guide than Roberto. It does take 12-13 hours 8am-8pm so plan for that. We saw 5 hump back whales, went to the beautiful island of Cayo then we took a small bus through the hills to a ranch where we got on horses and went down some hills to El Limon waterfall. The waterfall was pretty amazing and the horse guides were awesome even though they only get paid by getting tips. It finished with a susnet cruise back across the bay where we saw another set of whales. So here's a sequence of events:
1) Bus ride was about 2 hours to the city of Capitan. Make sure you use the bathroom before you leave, there are only a couple gas stations.
2) Grab a snack and then load up onto the boat. Don't get left behind keep an eye on your guide.
3) Whale watch for about 1.5 hours
4) Continue across the bay to the island of Cayo. ~45 minutes.
5) Eat lunch and then you have an hour to either shop, explore or snorkel off the beach.
6) Load back onto boat and go to Semana. ~ 45 minutes
7) Load up onto a small open sided bus and ride through there small villages and hills to a horse ranch.
8) Ride horses slowly with 1 guide per horse for 20-30 minutes to the waterfall. There are then 280 steps to get down to the base of the waterfall so make sure you can do that. You can swim in the falls. Go back up 280 steps and ride back to the bus.
9) Bus back to boat, boat back to Capitan and bus ride back to your taxi for your hotel. The end.
Downsides:
We weren't really given any instructions except we would be picked up in the morning and be home by 8pm. They did not mention we had to change vehicles and meet up with a bigger group. We didn't know how long the bus ride was, the boat ride, stop at the island and waterfall stop would be. We were picked up at 6am (since we were the furthest hotel from the big bus) and got back at 9:30pm.
Our tour guide Robert was terrible. He would never tell us what was going on or what we were going to do next. He told us done info on the bus about the island otherwise the rest of the trip he was either talking on his phone or smoking or doing both at the same time. When we went to get on the boat they almost left a couple behind because he never took a head count and they were in the bathroom when we left. Luckily they made it on but the couple was yelling and swearing at our tour guide for almost leaving them behind.
Thankfully when we went on the boat we joined 2 other tours and we asked the other tour guides from the other companies what was going on so we finally were brought up to speed to what we could expect.
So to end, the tour itself is awesome just make sure you pick the right company and they give you an agenda and a great guide for your tour.

We decided on the elopement package with Dos Bananas to have our wedding ceremony as the hotel did not really cater for just the two of us (and our 10 year old) as well as all the photography, make up, transfers etc was included. The team really looked after us, they were professional, engaging and reassuring. The private beach was beautiful with plenty of photo opportunities and the only extra we ordered was the horse which was magic. An amazing experience executed really well in a gorgeous setting by an excellent team, thanks.

Здравствуйте.Сколько будет стоить трансфер из Пуэрто Платы,до Пунто каны,что бы можно было попасть на экскурсии,которые вы организовывает?
Written September 8, 2018
Здравствуйте! Трансфер будет стоить около 400$ - зависит от количества человек. Ехать из Пуэрто Плата до Пунта Каны около 5-6 часов, поэтому скорей всего это не стоит того. В районе Пуэрто Плата очень много интересных мест, что стоит посетить: 27 водопадов, Остров Кайо де Арена или Райский остров, Лагуна Дуду, Плая Гранде, можно также съездить в Сантьяго или в горы Харабакоа и Констанция - там полетать на параплане или попробовать рафтинг)
