Nice tour - It takes 13 hours in total. It says 7 or 8 in the description but is more as travelling takes time but is good because you see several things. We saw whales on the way to cayo levantado, sadly there was no big jumps or something like that, observing animals tales patience and time.
We stopped at bacardi island but there is only an small part of the island which is public so you can not explore anything as it is a tiny island. We had some lunch and then we went to limón waterfall. Limón waterfall is ok but if you already travel a bit you won't get very shocked, I saw bigger waterfalls. Don't get me wrong is nice and is a nice walk or horse ride to the waterfalls. Then we did all the way back to punta cana. In general the tour is ok and you get to see some of the famous landmarks and also to pass through miches and samana so you can see how are the real DR villages, which I liked. Probably if I comeback to DR I will stay in SAMANÁ area as it looks nice.

Amazing scenery - Love it! I recommend everyone who loved nature to go in this trip! So worth it 10/10.
My 11 year old nephew LOVED it. He won’t stop talking about it.
If you are just be prepared to tip your person who helps you, these kids really stay by your side and treat you like a king/queen and get to know you and deserve the big tip!

Fill dsy, lots of travel, but amazing! - Very fun experience. Be prepared for a FULL day. There is quite a bit of travel but it's worth it in the end. My horse guide asked if I had experience horseback riding and I got to trot and canter a lot of the time. It was quite fun. The lunch was delicious, the breakfast was a sandwich and fruit which was good. The steps at the waterfall, down and up, are not for the feint of heart. Be sure you have some level of physical fitness. Let's you see a lot in very little time.

Trip worth doing, but very long day. - It was a great excursion. Very long day though, we were picked up on time at 6:30am and dropped off 9:30pm. This was our first time to DR, so we got to see a lot of country side and different parts of the island. You get to do whale watching while going to Bacardi island. Barcadi island beach was beautiful, they could have made lunch there instead of Samona so we had more time to enjoy the beach, but it was a nice spot to stop. Lunch was good. Then we got to ride in an open safari truck for another hour or so to arrive where the horse ranch is. The trail to the waterfall was scary while being on the horse, as the horse slipped many times, but the guide was good. The 250 steps down to the waterfall was a trek, but my guide was very helpful to get me down safely. The waterfall is worth seeing. It's beautiful. It was a long day, but well worth the trip.

Far too expensive for these people! - Exit taken at the Plaza Brisas hotel by CHUCHO Tours (140€) per person.
The seller sold us a dream: insurance of a French guide, no French guide, guaranteed to move freely, not at all forbidden to move by the owners of Rancho ORGA cascade del Limon, treated like dogs. The very average meal pasta, rice, chicken, pineapple pork. Always asking for change: boats, photos, ranch...

Great trip once we got to the excursion - I gave this 3 stars for two reasons. The trip is 2 hours to where we catch the boat to Samana. We were the first ones on the bus so it was really 3 hours. By the time we went 3 hours - we asked the guy to stop to go to the bathroom. He refused and said we should have told him. He didn’t even tell us anything about where we were going or what we doing. We didn’t know. Once we got to the boat dock, the tour guide told us what to expect. The rest of the trip was awesome - beach, horse back riding and waterfall. Beautiful! It was a long day - from 6am-8 pm. It would have been better if we knew what to expect (description) and the driver wasn’t mean.

Sovereign Irresponsibility - IN NO WAY TAKE A TOUR - They canceled an excursion I had, no one informed me anything, as I saw that it had already been more than 30 minutes from 6:30 am that was the time for pickup I called, sent messages and after a while they tell me that today they do not make any excursions (fake that they had warned but JAMAS no one told me anything and by the way they had already charged me). If you don’t want to work everything right, it’s your option, but don’t offer tours that later don’t meet... I had that tour for today...

Don’t book these sketchy excursions! They will charge u an insane price & treat u like 💩 on top it - You’re better off finding a way to get to this waterfall on your own than paying these guides they will rip you off insanely! Too expensive,extremely crowded, smelled like horse 💩, food they offered was a joke as part of the package was a joke!
