Come and relish in a natural habitat, eclipsed by prolific forests.Cast out and gallop amid the outskirts of a countryside paradise, go horseback riding. A fascinating feat for the neophyte, and the expert rider, alike.Experience the traditional way the Taino Indians ploughed the land to sow sugar cane. Visit an artisan sugar factory where, true to their colonial heritage, a mill pushed by oxen is put on display. This method is employed to extract the sugar juice (known as “guarapo”), a sugary extract which end product is the finest Dominican rum. This land produces some of the world’s most renowned brands of cigars; the tour would not be complete without walking through its history and elaboration process. « less

This was the best tour on our trip. Make sure you ask for Sammy as your guide. We had a great tour of "Maria's Place". Got to see and sample cocoa, and coffee beans. Then went to a lunch which was VERY GOOD. Horseback riding, tour a Sugar Cane plantation, Cigar factory and then to a GORGEOUS beach! Great excursion... More

What a great tour! We just stumbled across this tour and it was the best one we did one our entire trip! Our tour was given by "Sammy" and he is the absolute best! He is so engaging and incredibly knowledgeable. The food we had for lunch was by far the best meal of our whole trip, including our resort!... More

My husband and I had the BEST time on this excursion in Punta Cana. We had "Sammy" as our tour leader and Johnny as our driver. For being in an open 4 wheel drive truck in the "backwoods" of the Dominican, this man did a GREAT job driving!! Our favorite part was visiting "Casa de Maria", a local woman who... More

The tour starts with being strapped in to your seat of an open air zebra stripped truck. Sammy was our host, who sounded like Sammy Davis Jr , with a great sense of humor and lots of information that was presented so well that you were looking for more. Hector was his partner for this excursion and our driver. This... More
