Explore Los Haitises by boat, see Taíno cave art, swim at Caño Hondo, and ride to Montaña Redonda from Punta Cana.
“The guides were great and the tour itself very informative and interesting. The transport from Punta Cana obviously takes quite long but was comfortable and we took a few breaks. We should have probably stayed in a hotel near Semana to avoid paying mostly for the transport to the national park. The stops don't feel rushed so we had time to actually go swimming in the natural pools which was nice. To the caves we took two smaller boats as a group of about 18 people where we got a little wet so maybe take a dry bag with you. We saw many pelicans and other birds and the food…”

“Les conditions météorologiques étaient catastrophiques. Ce n’est pas normal d’emmener des touristes en mer alors qu’il pleut à grosse goutte et qu’il y a du vent. On ne voyait rien de ce qu’on devait visiter. Ils faisaient froid. Le minimum serait d’avoir un imperméable à donner à chaque passager si sortir en mer est inévitable. Mais rien. Pas d’eau à bord ni de boissons non alcoolisées comme annoncer dans la description.”

“Unfair and money-hungry company. The information on the website is written incorrectly. Hotel transfer is not included in the price, but the website says there is a transfer from Samana. They sent us the meeting point at 10 pm, which would have been a 4 hour drive from us. I wrote to the boss that we are not able be go there and we would like to get a refund, but he was condescending and laughed at us, and then he didn't even read the messages i sent to him. Very unprofessional and unfair. Other companys would offer a solution but they were not cooperative at all. If you have…”
