Whilst we wait around for pictures Our driver Carlos made it even better. Was very patient waiting for my sister. Even though he said he spoke very little English he was able to express himself well and converse . Carlos also put me on to great Dominican music after our excursion. Great guides all through and enjoyable and entertaining transportation”

Un petit apéro improvisé sur la première plage visitée. Lors de notre excursion nous avons rencontré un petit problème avec le moteur du bateau en repartant d'une plage. Bilan, un peu plus de temps sur la plage, et donc en bonus final... un vrai coucher de soleil aux alentours de 18h. Un grand merci à notre guide Shalomy (Haïtienne) qui nous a accompagnée toute la journée. Une visite "privée" pour nous... quoi de mieux. Excursion que nous recommandons!!!
