This is one of those "musts" on your to do list in Puerto Plata. It is a full day of adventure and they don't let you down. The scenery is superb and the information from the guides is top notch. The school and home that we visited have been sponsored by the company and so the school had recently had... More

One of the highlights is visiting a Dominican school that the Outback Safari sponsors and a village that they help. It was a fun day and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to... More

Manny and Franklin always had a smile on their face and they were very knowledgeable... More

It can be a VERY bumpy ride at times so if you have a bad back etc take precautions. We loved it as the wild... More
