Beyond the beaches of RD, an incredible green landscape awaits us. 360° view of Montaña Redonda, a national park where I would have liked to stay longer, then Salto Yanigua: I come out with lots of great memories! In terms of planning: pick-up 6am-8am, actual departure 8am. Journey: 8am-10am Redonda, 10:30am-12pm park & cave, 1pm-2pm Salto Yanigua (waterfall, meal, cocoa). Departure return 4:30pm, pee stop, coffee 6pm, arrival at 1st hotel 7:30pm. Juice, water & rusks provided (nevertheless bring snacks). Take flip-flops for the waterfall! know that a professional photographer will offer you these services and that activities (zipline, ...) will be offered to you for a little something🚶‍♂️🌿✨ personally I also learned a lot from our guide and the driver was very caring.

We had a fantastic kayak tour! The experience was incredibly beautiful and we had a lot of fun. Even though our guide didn't speak any English, he did an excellent job. Special praise goes to José - a great person with a great sense of humor! Despite our limited knowledge of Spanish, we were still able to communicate really well. Thank you for this unforgettable adventure! We'd love to come back!

This tour allowed us to discover beautiful places on the island that we would never have discovered otherwise. The waterfalls, the mountains, the cocoa tasting, the exploration of the caves, everything was perfect. The guide was very funny and very friendly.

The boat ride through the mangroves and around the islands is beautiful. It looks a little like Ha Long Bay in miniature. If you need a French speaking guide, Albert is amazing.

Everything was good, as described. I'd be happy to come again.
