well, from 13 hour trip we spent >>only 22 minutes>it was 2,5 hours each way>60
Wonderful waterfall, that's all. The rest was bad, the food was terrible. The drinks were scarce, the transport trucks were to die for, the catamaran was uncomfortable, the horses were old, and at the end, just an hour on a public beach, that's all. Too many hours of transport to see a waterfall.
The tour was terrible. It started with them advertising an open bar, but they only served rum and Coke with water. At one point, I got up to ask for water and Coke because I felt dizzy. I didn't even look at them and asked if it was supposed to be an open bar, or if they should sell me some. Of course, I told the person in charge, and they listened to me and gave me a glass. My friend had to buy an empanada so they would give her a glass of soda. Secondly, lunch was a disaster. The return trip was even worse. They take you on a catamaran, which is nice, but the return trip in boats was awful. It kept stopping and wouldn't start. I asked them three times to take us back because I was getting scared, but they said no, they would crash. The boat trip was horrible; I had to say 20 Our Fathers on the way back. And to top it all off, they transfer you from bus to bus to get you to the hotel door... If you ask me for my opinion of this place, I'd say don't do the tour.
AVOID this tour agency and anyone trying to sell you an excursion at the beach by all means! Like the other person said who reviewed before me, they treat you like cattle. They picked our group of 18 in a rundown mini bus with a broken AC. The Bus only can safely fit about 14-15 people, and already had a a 6 other people from a different group there. We didn't know the ride to Saona island was almost 2 hours from our resort and my mom nearly fainted from heat exhaustion inside the bus because we were packed like sardines and AC stopped working. Our so called tour guide “Sweet David” was the worst, rude, disrespectful and showed no empathy for the situation. It was the most unsafe travel experience I have ever had. They completely oversold us on the trip and didn’t meet any expectations that we expected. We demanded that we need another bus coming back from the island and guess what, they gave us the same bus. Our group refused to get back on the bus until they gave us a transportation that we can all fit. They did NOT! Half of our group ended booking their own transportation because they couldn’t accommodate us. The island itself was horrible, we only stayed for an hour and half, food was mediocre, and beach was packed. Do Not Go! If i could leave 0 stars i would. Again worst tour and tour guide i ever had with all my years i have been to the dominican republic. If they delete this review i will keep on reposting.
Yesterday was on the trip by Flaco Tour, picked me up at Macao at 7, delivered back at 21 - everything was smooth and the trip was totally worth it - whales, Cayo Levantado, horses, waterfall
