Half Day or Full Day Supreme Safari Tour from Punta Cana

This tour was okay. We were picked up 15 minutes late and were worried they had forgotten us. We paid to make a call to make sure they were still coming to get us. Our guide was nice and funny but could have been more informative. There were several questions that went unanswered and I felt like he did more singing than explaining. The bartender was nonexistent. He served drinks 3 times and one of those times was when we stopped for lunch. The rest of the time he just rode up front with the driver and was unavailable. The seats on this tour were very uncomfortable. The photographer was a joke. He acted like he didn't even care about his job. We were never even offered to look at our pictures let alone buy them. Very disappointed in that part. If you have longer hair I suggest bringing a hair tie since the bus is all open and your hair will be wind blown. Visiting the place with the horses was ok, the merchandise was overpriced but it was neat seeing how they rolled cigars. Seeing the school was neat but our guide spent more time explain why we couldn't go in than explaining the actual education system they have. The country house was a cool experience and you do get to tour the house inside and out. The woman explaining about cocoa and coffee was nice and it was refreshing to hear her explain things. Lunch was great and you had more than enough time to eat, use the restroom and regroup before heading to the city. Don't expect any kind of explanation while you are on your 25 minute drive to the city. No drink service and no tour guide while you pass a lot of interesting sites. It is s loud and windy while you are driving that if you are not up close to the front the guide can't hear your questions. They may not get answered anyway. Visiting the city marketplace was nice but very fast paced you are there for maybe 5 minutes. The church was beautiful but I would have rather spent more time there than going to the beach. Visiting the beach seemed unnecessary since we were staying at a resort on the beach. People try to sell you tourist stuff and a guy with a parrot will let you take pictures with it and then try to charge you 10 for them. The beach just really seemed like a waste of time. We did not visit a coconut oil factory or a pristine river. It was never even mentioned to us as an option but it is listed in the description. Exchanging passengers on the side of the highway was weird and people just getting into cabs at the end of the day was odd. Some were left on the bus and others were shipped off in cabs on the side of the road. We made it back to our hotel an hour later than we were initally told. Overall it was an ok day.

Very informational and our guides were fantastic. Two stops with water so wear your suit. The stop at the Catholic church I was not prepared for as you couldnt go in with your chest/bust out if your swimwear was revealing. They had large smocks to put over you which were HOT. I had a swim cover that I was able to close over myself thank goodness. There was a photographer on our bus as well that took pics the entire day for sale if you liked any.

The half day tour was nice. It does not involve shopping like we thought it would. I repeat, no shopping on half day tour. There was plenty of water, soda and alcohol on board the bus. The tour was good for the price. A nice get off the resort tour.

Excellent tour, not recommended for pregnant women or for kids 2 years or younger. Very informative about the culture, food, cigar, horseback riding, cocoa trees left and right. The rest you find for yourself, Watch out its a little bumpy ride : Have fun
