    Really fun day at Scape Park, we booked through TUI and had a great time. We booked onto the buggies which were fun however you sit around at the start for ages before they get you in the buggies - probably just worth doing a buggy tour elsewhere if that’s what you’re coming to scape park for! The zip lines were great - be careful with TUI selling you this trip if you are tall (there was a man next to us in a queue who couldn’t go on any of the zip lines or other activities as he was too tall!). Bring your own water shoes and waterproof phone holder as they are expensive at the shop and the shoes are really uncomfortable and there is loads of walking involved. Overall a good day out and would recommend when visiting the Dominican Republic!

    Ps. There should be an option to not have your photos taken on the buggies - we hated having to pose at every opportunity they got that’s just not for us!

    The staff was wonderful. All the way from the lady who walked us to the bus through the photographer, waterfall guides and lifeguards. Wonderful experience. The photos were well worth the extra expense. Lunch food was delicious with good variety.

    Excellent tour guide. Lots of information about Dominican Republic provided. Destinations were nice. Lunch was delicious! Be prepared for a long day with alot of driving as described, but overall an excellent excursion.

    Jeudi was an excellent guide. He kept us safe and entertained. We love the tour, buggies were the best part. I would definitely recommend this tour and can’t wait to come back to bring other people to experience it

    This is the exact same tour you'll see on Get Your Guide except it's $30 cheaper there so don't book through here. There were people on my tour that had booked through Get Your Guide.

    There wasn't much information provided for this tour before I booked. After the boat ride to Samana, you're loaded into safari vehicles and transported to the stables. Each horse/mule comes with a guide, they walk with horses to the waterfall. You are expected to tip these guides and I was told it was not included in my tour and the guide was very pushy about tipping.

    You do have the option to walk instead of riding down but the path is full of dung. I felt bad for the horses. There is a point where the guides hold horses by the tail to keep them from going too fast.

    The waterfall is beautiful but you do need to walk down and back up 280 steep muddy stairs.

    Our driver Jose Carrasco and Our tour guide George made our trip so entertaining and that was before we met the monkeys! We loved the monkeys so much.

    If you look for Saona Island excursion, look no farther. Yes, you can find cheaper one, but this money was well spent. Melvin was a great, caring and knowledgeable guide and whole communication around booking, pickup etc. was great. There were only 10 people in our group, instead of being cramped on a booze boat with 100 other people, with music blaring all day long. Melvin gave us a little history lesson during drive to the port. And yes, this trip starts early, but trust me, you will be first guests on all these amazing beaches, without later crowd from booze boats. On this trip we made a few stops: in small fisherman village Mano Juan (with breakfast on the beach) and we were lucky enough to see baby turtles born in the sanctuary, absolutely priceless experience. Then we went to pristine El Toro Beach. Color of the water was mesmerizing, along with refreshing drink straight from coconut. Another stop was Palmera Beach, where we had small private section of the beach, with lounge chairs and delicious lunch. We took so many great photos there, it was truly paradise island. Then we went to shallow part of the Caribbean Sea, to see mangrove area and look for starfish. We saw sea turtles and tons of huge starfish and learned a lot about sea creatures. Last stop was snorkeling by Bayahibe with swarms of colorful reef fish around us (snorkeling gear is included with this trip). During the day Melvin took many of great photos of us and shared them. Thank you Melvin and your guys for such a great day.

    Good excursion for this price, but not the best place at the beach in Saona. Nice organization and guide. The price is the cheapest what we found.

    We had a great time on the buggy…and you will get dirty. Everyone just leaned into it and had a blast getting muddy. Bring clothes you don’t mind trashing or that don’t stain easily. They have showers and changing rooms.

    Loved it! Went with 15 year old niece who could ride. I'm a perpetual beginner. Our guide Friendly was exactly that. Good horses, appeared well looked after. Western saddles which are deeper than UK so felt safe. Ride along the beach and through the palms. Actually managed to canter along the beach so bucket list experience done! You get the obvious gift shop after but no hard sell. Would recommend.
