An incredible and recommendable experience when you come to Rep.Domnez - We clearly saw the exceptional biodiversity of the DR in the Los Haitises National Park. And delicious food in the Ranche salto yanigua. The information from the SEGUNDO guide was perfect.... I really liked it!!!

Recommended excursion! - Very nice excursion with unforgettable landscapes at the Parc des Haitises. Visit to the cave and lunch in a top typical restaurant, with swimming in a waterfall. Ilan our guide is talkative and gave us lots of good anecdotes while being kind and funny.

We have seen whales but for the price the offer is too low - The experience of seeing whales ourselves was so tempting that we booked the trip, with an expectation for the price which unfortunately was only a boat trip and an island visit. This trip touted way too expensive.

There should have been a... - There should have been a warning that some people will get completely drenched on the boat. (I must have picked the worst seat.) I have been on several whale watching boats & never one quite like this. It was horrible. Once we finally saw a whale, time to go to the beach.

This tour is unfortunately not worth the high price. Other providers are better and much cheaper. - Unfortunately, we did not enjoy the tour. The bus was dirty and completely outdated. After 4 hours of driving, your back is ready on this bus. It was, of course, occupied to the last place. It should have been out of service for years. Then we went to the whales on a catamaran that was also ancient and of course occupied to the last place. In rows of 4 you stand behind each other because there is little space. The tour guide Carlos was fine and tried very hard. This tour costs 169 USD and is far from worth it. We would have been better off and cheaper through Get Your Guide. As compensation for complaining, I was offered a pina colada.

Waiting tour - Well this trip is more about waiting than anything else…yes obviously you have to wait for the whales and if they dont come up they just dont, thats understandable…but them we were took to Bacardi island…where we had just 2 hours and something…but you wait for resturant for 30 mins, than have to wait in line for food another 15 mins, restrooms basically dont work, so if you wanna use it thats another 20 mins and you have maybe an hour left to go to the beach which is realy nice but, very crowded and very small…than you go back waiting another 20 mins for a boat and than off to the shore…considering our bus to the port was 2,5 hours and the hoat took about 45 mins to get somewhere, its a lot of time in bud ( with no air conditioning) amd boat and waiting waiting waiting…for me it was wasted money and time ( yes maybe if the wháes were in a better mood and we would see more of them it might make it better…but still
