Let me begin by saying that despite coming to DR for many years and having experienced many tours and excursions like swimming with dolphins, trip to Saona and El Limón this was one of my favorite tours so far. Don't get me wrong they have all been great and so have all the drivers and guides we've met along the way but this one was special as I got learn a few things. First let me say that we left from Dreams Dominicus in La Romana. Our driver MANUEL and guide DENISE were the best. We got there safe and on time and the trip was fun and informative. It included a trip to the sugarcane field in Batey, then to the beautiful Basilica in Higuey, learned all about tobacco and how it is made, then to the Anamuya River for a quick swim, lunch at Doña Maria' house (food was amazing!) and lastly we got a very nice tour around her garden and learned all about coffee and cocoa making, again thanks to DENISE's expertise. I would highly recommend this tour, just be prepared to ride in a safari truck which gets bumpy. Also pack light, wear comfy shoes and sunscreen. A backpack with a few thing including bug spray is a must.
