Aris –
This a fun ad educational day. The guide was very knowledgeable and while it was a bit difficult to understand him because of his accent he had a lot information on every aspect of the tour (the locals, the customs, the flora, the fauna, etc) the roads were bumpy but that’s what you expect on a safari through the dominican countryside (tip: seat towards the front of the truck where the bumps are felt less). the tasting of the local produce as very nice and the chance to buy some of it as souvenirs… the chocolate especially was very tasty. Lunch was 5 stars flavor and variety wise, the horseback ride was also fun…it rained on us which made it even more fun! I wasn’t in the mood to swim at beach by the end of the day but everyone else seemed to enjoy it. Great day out from our resort 🙂
