5 stars - Excellent attention from all the guys, candido and Miguel accompanied us all day with the best of all the airwaves. We had no problem and stayed the whole day at the foot of what we needed.

We really enjoyed this excursion - must see! - Our tour guide - Nacho and bus driver Perez were very courteous and knowledgeable. They took care of us and provided valuable information about the city and history. We really enjoyed our excursion to the waterfall, horseback riding and the beach. . If you book this tour ask for Nacho and Perez - you won’t be disappointed. Great tour!!

Whale watching and bathing in a hidden gem - The tour was amazing, from pickup to drop off... Cruising the ocean chasing and looking for whales was amazing! We were the first boat in the water and had unprecedented encounters with this beautiful family of hump back whales!! It was truly amazing!! Followed by a journey up the mountains, through the woods on horse back rides to this beautiful waterfall called El Limón! The lunch provided was delicious and the staff everywhere was friendly! Highly and strongly recommend this tour if you're a fan of the outdoors and want to live a unique experience!

Natures best during this whale of an experience. - This trio was a real wow for us! It’s a long day - as others have said so know that going in. But- the chance to see these amazing creatures was well worth it. We were picked up at our hotel promptly and met up with a larger group to a meeting point with a large and comfortable bus. The guides Nacho and Enrique made the ride entertaining and informative. Machines quite the character! Then on to the boat marina to Samana we went. First we drove to the El Limon Falls to take a morning hike to the waterfall. We opted to walk vs rode the horses to get some exercise. The Falls were lovely and refreshing. Even if you didn’t get in the mist was nice and cooling. Then we made our way to the starting point for a delicious and authentic lunch- and really cold beer! From here we headed back to the boat for our whale adventure. It took a bit of navigating but our captain and guide were relentless in finding whales and what a prize we received. A mother whale and her baby entertained us for over 30 minutes. It was spectacular! The baby jumped and jumped to our delight. It was almost like it was showing off. There were countless tail slaps on the water and everyone had the perfect view. Truly a magical experience. If you’re there during whale season we would highly recommend this adventure!

Watching the whales was... - Watching the whales was worth the trip. It was amazing to watch them so close! If I had to do this again, I would choose one excursion without the Lemon Cascade. The Lemon Cascade is beautiful too, but you have to walk up and down 280 steps each way, and for me it would have been better to stop in a beach instead.

What a shame of time - Lovely place. The bad thing was the weather and the boat ride.. The horseback riding was great. I would have liked more time on the beach.
