ATV en paardrijden in Puerto Plata / kustexcursie en hotel

Dit was super leuk! pick-up / drop off was gemakkelijk en handig. personeel was vriendelijk en behulpzaam. lunch was lekker en vullend. na de excursies hadden we de mogelijkheid om rond te lopen om de dieren te zien of zwemmen in het zwembad; het was leuk dat we niet werden weggejaagd nadat alles was gedaan. ATV tour was het geld zeker waard; uitzichten waren geweldig en we gingen door allerlei soorten terrein. paarden waren een leuke afwisseling van tempo, langzaam en ontspannend. de gidsen en fotografen waren ook geweldig. geen klachten.

We drove ourselves (just a preference). They have secure parking on the premises. The ATV part of this tour stole the show! We are a family of five and got three ATVs. All worked pretty well, one stopped a couple of times when we went through deeper waters a little too fast- this wasn’t inconvenient and it didn’t take away from the tour, it was SO MUCH FUN! There were only ten of us on this tour, plus the two guides and a photographer- 8 ATVs total- You will go through parts of a stream, a trench, on the road through a small town, etc… so cool! You will stop at a souvenir shop so if you think you’ll buy something, maybe bring a small backpack to take it back. Make sure you wear things you don’t mind getting VERY muddy. I suggest pants (or knee-high socks) and crocks, for ease of washing afterwards. Sunglasses and a bandana could be helpful. Shoutout to the best guides Cuba & Lebron who made this tour an unforgettable adventure! For the horseback riding, we think we had subs for guides ???? There were only six of us on this tour. Without even asking if any of us had ridden before, the guides said this would be a very laid back ride. Several saddles were loose to the point the rider felt and looked like they were falling off. Guides didn’t seem to know what they were doing…. One went to help my son tighten his saddle and his own horse trotted away! We had to say repeatedly that we wanted to gallop, one of them asked me if that meant fast or slow! Yes, I speak Spanish. Yes, it’s Dominican Spanish ☺️ We eventually galloped for a couple of minutes but the tour was mostly trotting, bunched up, horses were not in the mood- they wanted to walk on the edge of the trail, by trees and branches. Needless to say, we don’t remember those guides’ names. My recommendation is for you to ask for experienced guides for both tours ahead of time! They definitely have some! Our photo guy, Frandy, did his best. Digital photo-deal can get very expensive bc price is per person. But make sure you negotiate (haggle!) with the “photo company”. Also, ask if you can see the pictures first; we didn’t and wish we had bc maybe we would’ve tried to pay even less. The food at the end was delicious and plentiful. We also had access to the pool and grounds but left bc we wanted to go to the beach. Everybody was very friendly.

Zou het iedereen aanraden. Zeer professioneel en georganiseerd hadden we een geweldige tijd. Eten was absoluut geweldig na het hebben van resort eten voor een paar dagen we hebben er echt van genoten, iedereen was zo knap van ophalen tot afzetten en alles daar tussenin
