Safari und Higuey-Kirche ab Punta Cana

Ich habe den Besuch in der Schule wirklich genossen und Leo war ein großartiger Führer. Das Mittagessen war auch ausgezeichnet. Sehr lohnenswerter Ausflug!

The day was really varied in activities, we got to see a good glimpse of Dominican culture. We covered an extensive plantation tour, visit to a school, baseball academy, church, a ranch where we did horse riding and had lunch and Macao beach. Pros: it’s an extensive tour with lots to cover in one day. You drive through the towns and countryside so you can see different aspects of Dominican life. There was an open bar on the safari with options of rum, coke, sprite and water. The tour guide and driver were great throughout the day. The ranch was the best part by far, the horse riding was an amazing experience and I really enjoyed it. Cons: every stop is designed so that you part with more money instead of having a full experience. We also were picked up and dropped off separately to the rest of the group by a transfer which was really strange. You had to pay entry at the church, on top of hiring a skirt to cover your legs. At the plantation we were told that bananas and mangoes are usually free but this time we had to pay. My boyfriend was heavily pressured at the ranch to buy overpriced cigars. However, despite this we were very generous throughout the day to them. What ruined the whole day is that we tipped our tour guide Alex $10, and when it came to getting in our transfer and saying bye, Alex and the safari driver Andre made things very awkward by demanding a tip for Andre. We don’t mind tipping but we assumed Alex would be splitting tips with the driver, we’d already parted with $60 that day in tips and this moment just left a sour taste in our mouths. So we didn’t end up tipping the transfer because we were just so annoyed.

Tolle Tour, aber ich brauche einen bequemen Safari-Truck mit etwas mehr Platz für die Zeit im Truck. Alex und Eddy waren großartig und haben alles getan, um die Tour für mich als behinderte Person angenehm zu gestalten, haben aber alles umgangen und ein großes großes Vielen Dank an die Jungs auf der Ranch, dass sie mir erlaubt haben zu reiten, ich fahre regelmäßig, aber mir wurde gesagt, vielleicht nein, aber die Jungs waren fabelhaft und geduldig, also wenn Sie daran denken, diese Tour zu machen, machen Sie sie fabelhaft, nochmals vielen Dank x
